This looks like it should go here..... The consequences of freer firearms exports will reach far beyond the Western Hemisphere. According to statistics compiled by the Security Assistance Monitor, governments like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates -- which are waging a brutal war in Yemen that has killed thousands of civilians and pushed the country to the brink of famine -- have aggregately requested to buy hundreds of millions of dollars of firearms from the US under the Trump administration. And last year, the Philippines was allowed to order $22 million worth of guns from the US, despite its record of collaborating in the murders of thousands of alleged criminal suspects without providing proof or conducting trials. www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/opinions/donald-trump-dangerous-new-gun-rules-hartung/index.htmlTrump......making the world safer for everyone! Dumbass.

the US will NEVER sign onto this. mark my words. If we do, and I admit that is a huge "if" I assume where SA will now get their weapons is an open book for everyone. Do we want Russia to gain the currency from these transactions? And for the record, I have no problem not selling weapons to any country other than NATO countries. Even SEATO countries should be cut off.
