“Do I want to go in and annihilate them or do I not?” That’s a real quote from the President of the United States, about a country of 90 million people, delivered like he was choosing between appetizers. Seven months into a war he started. The man treats annihilation like a coin flip.
The same week, his administration approved a $24.3 billion F-35 deal to Saudi Arabia. First time an Arab country has been cleared for fifth-generation stealth fighters. Lockheed Martin’s stock ticked up. Pratt & Whitney gets their cut. The defense contractors are having the quarter of their lives.
Nobody voted for this war. Nobody was asked about the arms deal. The guy who launched strikes on Iran in February is now selling the most advanced fighter jets on Earth to an absolute monarchy while publicly wondering whether to level a civilization. That’s not foreign policy. That’s a weapons catalogue with a president attached.
