    So they do not mind selling weapons to Saudi Arabia so they can terrorize Yemen but are too gutless to get off the sidelines and participate fully in the biggest war ever that was taking place in their backyard.  Jeesh.


    I don't think we should sell any weapons to countries at war and/or non-democracies (including the The Corrupt states of America).

    But for context, I do believe the sales of arms to Saudiaarbia is only spareparts to systems (a radar system) we have already sold and have agreements to fulfill. And it's 0,2 percent of the arms export. No new sales to the country has been approved. 

    But I don't think anyone should make arms to begin with. But in practice, I think it should only be sold to stable democracies that are in no conflicts. And I think the new laws here are even stricter about that, which is good.

    Calling someone a "sister" to infer and load being a woman with something bad/less worthy.

    Flagged.
