    obama is a sucker – and the idea that selling death to “friends” is good is utter insanity. The usa is in a position to control the whole fkn arms trade but does diddly squat.

    Good news for the U.S. weapons sales. The is U.S. is the largest weapons dealer in the world. So I’m sure there’s probably people lined up to sell to Vietnam.
