The Iran-Iraq War was also part of that pet conflict, and we certainly didn’t shy away from selling them weapons then.

Oh. I guess Israel is Special™. No American weapons going to Hamas that’s for sure.

Then there was a whole Saudi-Iran-Israel kumbayah that a number of Middle East Watchers were convinced would usher in a new era of diplomacy and relative peace.

Only at the cost of one genocide.

No American weapons going to Hamas that’s for sure.

Lots of weapons are leaking out of Ukraine and getting into Turkey.

But I’m more looking at the way we funnel weapons to Jordan and Saudi Arabia, while they are in an increasingly tense relationship with Israel.

Only at the cost of one genocide.

Now we’re getting a refund with bonus genocides thrown in.
