    Saw some idiot on Al Jazeera say “stopping weapons transfers really won’t do anything, as the US has given them enough to last years and years.” (they also have domestic production)

    Like, he’s right but holy fucking shit, dude.

      Even if they have reserve weapons, they are still reliant of a steady flow of US Military Weapons. If that ends, they are in major trouble. Especially with the Internal unrest in Israel and their reputation on the international stage.

        Absolutely. Of all places to see rhetoric like that, Al Jazeera? Granted, it was just some US Defense dog they were interviewing about the current escalation.
