International US agrees to sell Saudi Arabia $142 billion arms package

[BluntForceTrama]

Doesn't matter much.

Saudis are literally the worst military in the world. Yes. I have personal experience.

Really hard to F it up with the amount of hardware we are providing them now

STFU blowhard

Nobody works harder for this country than our president The Don



And to think:

This 3D model shows just how close Trump was to being assassinated

Account Point Consciousness created the rendering, showing the former president just centimetres from disaster.

only with toxic loses like you guys do I experience insults and denigration in response to giving credit where credit is due.

I do not think that Trump will abandon Israel. I think that he's walking a very fine line between protecting his business interests and personal wealth production with the Saudis and other Middle Eastern countries and political interests with Israel.

It remains to be seen how effective he will be at this, but I do not believe he will abandon Israel militarily but if he does that would be incredible.

As far as this $600 billion deal goes with Saudi Arabia, I would just like to hear any anyone speak clearly about the negative side to it. So far I haven't really been able to read much on it, but then it's the first day and I'm sure we'll get a lot of well thought out articles written about it.

On its face sounds really good. And even if the job creation numbers are half what Donald Trump says, that would be a million jobs for Americans here that are good paying manufacturing and tech jobs.

Gross.

Expected.

You have to see their Officer Corps in order to understand the level of incompetence, entitlement, and sheer cowardice.

No amount of weapons will give them ability.

So much for "energy independence"

Even better they did not have any of the big 3 defense contractors at this signing. Instead we had Nvidia, Tesla/SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, two big chip manufactures. Saudi's are doing these deals to secure manufacturing and AI deals with the US biggest companies in this space. Each seeking 100's of billions of dollars. Heck MBS met with Nvidia about building a factory to make chips in Saudi Arabia I bet they already talked to TSMC. TSMC balked at spending nearly a 1/2 trillion dollars on a factory in Taiwan to make the next generation of sub 3nm chips in volume. So now they want the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to build these massive and expensive foundries. Intel was trying to do this in the US and when Trump became President the money dried up and Intel close to bankruptcy. So now the jobs and the technology to make it is moving the the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Putin and Xi are loving this news.

i hope people understand this is just bribery.
nobody in SA is EVER using those planes. they'll gather dust in some warehouse.
that's how it works. "contracts" for access. it's always been like that with the saudis.

Haha, I just responded to TS in another thread about this very thing. But Trump is getting ahead of the Chinese trying to collaborate economically with other countries to strengthen alliances. This is different than previous admins that want to partner militarily

Different how?
