The Trump Administration continues to advance a plan to sell advanced arms and warplanes to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as part of the deal last month for UAE-Israel peace. Historically this trade would depend on an Israeli authorization, and the Israeli government is opposed.
This would be an anomaly, but US officials say that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had privately acquiesced to the deal as part of the peace talks with the UAE, and didn’t start objecting until well after the deal was announced.
Netanyahu says this is a “false allegation” and that he never consented to any UAE arms sales. The US seems to be advancing based on what they took as consent from before, and the UAE is genuinely irked that Israel promised not to object to the sales, only to do exactly that at the first opportunity.
In the past this would’ve been a much bigger problem for the US, given the power of the Israeli Lobby. The Trump Administration’s high priority for increasing arms sales, however, means that even a superficial way around Netanyahu’s objection will be used.
Netinyahu is as intelligent as he is shrewd.He knows fully well that MBZ while having fun of these weapons which are deadly in the hands those who can use them effectively will remain mere toys with the crown prince. Americans will have their billions and Nutinyahu can show the Arab that he was benevolent to let Trump sell the ‘weapons’. Whether Netinyahu let America to sell weapons is an absurd point. If Netinyahu does not permit it how can America sell. It is America of 21st century,mere fiefdom of Zionists A lackey can not defy its master
You have hit the nail on its head.
How indeed can the mighty USA defy its master – Israel?
Mighty USA? .It was so decades ago.Don’t even mention so now
Who was it that said Capital Hill is Israeli occupied territory?
Pat Buchanan (but I think your question was rhetorical).
And Buchanan said it in 1990. It is far worse today.
We go deeper into the sewer with the passage of time.
The UAE is not a country, it’s basically an oil well operated by imported labor. Of its roughly 10M population, barely 1M are “citizens” of this oil well.
“The Trump Administration’s high priority for increasing arms sales, however, means that even a superficial way around Netanyahu’s objection will be used.”
Because that is the most sound way of ending forever wars.
The F-35 jets that UAE is getting is the garbage, bottom of the stock type….! and of course they’re way inferior to the ones Israel has…! F-35 is not a dog fight jet and has lost its stealthiness to sophisticated radars from Russia, China and Iran…!
Given that the UAE only has a population of about 1M, wonder who’s going to fly that piece of overpriced junk.
Nobody, Its all about the wealth transfer to Lockheed.
Always ask the puppetmaster before proceeding. It SHOULD be treason to give aid to the enemy of the US. Instead, our government “leaders” (both parties all the way back to 1948), get their foreign policy instructions from them.
“It SHOULD be treason to give aid to the enemy of the US.”
According to the US Constitution, it IS treason to give aid to the enemy of the US.
And according the US Constitution, the enemy of the US is any government that Congress has declared war upon.
Congress hasn’t declared war upon any other government in nearly 80 years, and those wars ended 75 years ago. At the moment, the US has no enemies, at least legally speaking.
Congress? Ha ha Ha .Constitution again .You are really funny.Constitution, Congress etc will go far up to Zionists where it will stop. You know it better than any one else. This is 21st century America
