This guy is full of sh*t, Aianawa. He has no clue and there is no 'right' thing to do. The choice is World War or hedges against it. The thing that actually surprises me is the sales of F35 to Saudi and UAE ... been there before with UAE and no sale ultimately was contracted. But I enjoyed the party, I wonder if the GM of the Skunk Works was there, if I had known, I would have cornered him.
Maintenance of the Hegelian Dialectic is the goal, the nature of the agreement required compromises on the Saudis part, and I think the weapons are of different calibre AND if I remember correctly it was negotiated by The Golden One.
