It sucks being right, and alone.
And pathetic to keep selling the fuckers military equipment even after calling them out.


We gave them our word, and our word has to mean something. We also signed the contract knowing their record and who they were. Too late to be disgusted now.

Tell that to Freeland. I'm not the one who made the tweet and called them out. Hell, I've been arguing that we should tell SA to go fuck themselves for at least 25 years now. If not almost 30 years.

To be fair, WE didn't promise anything. It was a deal made by a previous government. This government has "given its word" to the people (the people who voted them in) on multiple occasions; only to break it later because the promise was inconvenient. So lets not allow this government the benefit of hiding behind some made up sense of honour or chivalry.

Spend the money, get out of the deal.

No different that the US and Britain cutting off arms sales regardless of the lost profits to Iran when the fundamentalist revolution happened - just do it and find a different customer for the vehicles. The government breaks it's our word all the time (e.g. Natives, veterans, farmers, fishermen, the unemployed, etc) to people who aren't generally assholes, and who really need the help, so there's no reason at all to worry about the national "honour" if we scuttled the deal to provide weaponry to a pack of savages like the Saudis.

Fuck, turn around and sell the LAV's to Iran instead for no other reason than to royally piss off both the Saudis and the current POSPOTUS's regime in the US. :twisted:

The best thing about the Saudi's is that they don'tr get along with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Saudi Arabia sounds like a real �peach� of a place �- to stay out of.
