Is everyone here cool with this?

The Trump administration on Friday informed Congress the president will invoke his emergency authority to bypass lawmakers' approval of arms sales to Saudi Arabia, citing the threat to the United States from Iran.
The move comes as Trump announced plans Friday to send about 1,600 troops to the Middle East amid rising tensions with Iran.
"Iran’s malign activity poses a fundamental threat to the stability of the Middle East and to Americans at home and abroad. We took this step of prudent diplomatic deterrence to augment our partners’ long-term capacity for self-defense and threat mitigation," a senior State Department official told Fox News.
The official added, "Congress won’t act, but we will. "

Not really. As SCH always says on here, the Saudis are probably the worst of the worst over there. But, whatever. #Saudi/Zionistcabal4life

I don’t love it but I also don’t have a ton of info. I’m never going to be really comfortable selling arms to any Muslim country. If that makes me a bigot, so be it.

If it keeps actual Americans from fighting their war? Who wouldn’t?

The war machine must march on. Selling weapons to other people has never come back to bite us in the arse.

Selling weapons to the country most responsible the ideology that caused 9/11 and the rise of ISIS is proof we have zero desire to actually stop terrorism.

We will end up invading Iran on the ground with 500,000 strong American military men. Just going to have to march over land into Tehran.

This is what I was thinking.
I didn't see a previous thread on this even though the article is 5 hours old.
Was this already discussed or do most just not give shite?

Trump is a cuck for Saudi Arabia

Stupid call of emergency.
Yet another solid ground for impeachment.
Shame on the entire gop putting up with this.
Congress needs to grow a pair. McConnell got his coal money patron a job in DC.
He can't oppose.
He's the swamp.

WTF? You think we'll send roughly 40% of active military members in to Iran?

Not a huge fan of this, but it is definitely better than having boots on the ground.

More ad hominem.
You have nothing real to offer.
