In this article published by AL JAZEERA, the United States of America seeks to finalize a massive arms deal with Saudi Arabia.
USA plans to sell fighter jets to Saudi Arabia and expand the Saudi missile defences. This is the largest US arms deal totalling to about $60bn.
The US claims that it is “seeking to build and strengthen its allies in the region” and that the US economy is not the main concern. However, the deal is a major job creator. It is expected to create 75 000 jobs for Americans.
The main ethical issue lies within the American’s true reason for dealing arms to Saudi Arabia.
Is the US only negotiating this deal for their own economic benefit? Their supposed reason for the deal is “to support Arab allies against Iran”.
The US has occupied the Middle East for years. The Middle East is an oil heaven. It makes sense.
The Saudi-American Arms deal gives the US another reason to be in the Middle East. I guess it will just be added to their “reason list” which includes the famous, “Fight against Terrorism”
