DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The United Arab Emirates is the closest it’s ever been to getting certain lethal American weapons it’s wanted for several years now: armed drones and F-35 joint strike fighter jets.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday announced via Twitter: “Today, the United States notified Congress of proposed UAE purchases of F-35 fighter aircraft, MQ-9B UAS, and munitions worth $23.37 billion to deter and defend against increased threats from Iran following historic Abraham Accords.”

An anticipated development ever since the UAE officially established diplomatic ties with Israel for the first time in August, the news is seen as a big deal. The sale, if completed, will be the first American transfer of lethal unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to any Arab ally, and the UAE would become the first Arab country to get the Lockheed Martin fifth-generation stealth jet, the most advanced fighter aircraft on the market.

“This is a very significant sale, as it is not often that a DCSA (Defense Security Cooperation Agency) notification recognizes that a sale ‘will alter the regional military balance’, highlighting the gravity of these announced proposed sales,” Charles Forrester, a principal analyst at IHS Janes, told CNBC via email on Wednesday.

1. Wonder what Trump and Pompeo's

commission was on this scam. Or did the UAE agree to cancel some of Donnie's debt? Or is there more to this like burying Campaign illegal funding.

2. Asylum

3. Corruption like we can't even imagine

Corruption that if any Democrat did it they would not survive the day literally

[Wellstone ruled]

5. My best guess is

according to the FINCEN Documents dump,it is Campaign money laundering as well as UAE funding via Deutsche Bank of Donnie's so called Real Estate operations. Pompeo is a End Timer as well as Pence and they have been working this destablising of the Mid East for years. They want War with Iran to full fill their Religious Prophecies.

BTW,where in hell did those a fore mentioned Doc's end up. Thought Daily Beast would have made a bigger splash.

7. You have to love

The silly accusations of voter fraud meant to make any accusations of election fraud look silly, while they commit massive election fraud using the Postal Service.

Surely we can find out how many ballots were mailed out nationwide to voters, and how many were ultimately received and counted, COUNTED!

This will tell us how many were prevented by Postal Service traitor DeJoy

4. Not only that, they packaged this up as a "middle east peace deal"

can't wait until they are out of the WH

6. Sure as hell looks like a

Commission on Sales deal(Kick Back) which is how Trump always operates.

8. And just in time for Thanksgiving too,

F-35 flying turkeys.

9. Well, if we ever go to war against the UAE,

we'll know what equipment they're using...

11. always wondered what Trump promised for those Middle East peace deals . . .

each of the parties will probably be getting American technology and/or weapons . . . kind of a "Weapons for Peace" program . . .

12. Yeah!!! Lets kill more children!!!!!

By arming the country that produced the 9/11 terrorists, with even deadlier more destructive weapons to bomb Yemen citizens.

The armed conflict in Yemen has killed and injured thousands of Yemeni civilians since it began. As of November 2018, 6,872 civilians had been killed and 10,768 wounded, the majority by Saudi Arabia-led coalition airstrikes, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). The actual civilian casualties are likely much higher. Thousands more have been displaced by the fighting and millions suffer from shortages of food and medical care.

13. All it took was a bullshit worthless piece of paper ending their "war" with Israel

The timing, the propaganda overkill, the spin that this "agreement" with Israel was bigger than FDR and Churchill in Tehran was never anything but political theater to be used as a campaign donation to Donnie Dipshit.

So American taxpayers, we donated billions in state of the art weapons to Donnie Shit for Brains reelection.

When this shitshow sees the light of day, some fucking people need to go to jail.

14. Yes, lock them up for war crimes!

15. What war crimes exactly? UAE is not under any arms embargo. nt
