Trump's F-35 sale to Saudi Arabia represents smart dealmaking that strengthens America's position in the Middle East. The Saudis have been a great ally and deserve access to advanced defense technology, especially as Iran's proxy network has been weakened and regional dynamics favor lasting peace. This strategic partnership unlocks $600 billion in Saudi investment while positioning America to broker historic normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel through the Abraham Accords.
Trump's F-35 deal with the murderous Saudi regime exposes dangerous corruption where business interests drive military policy. The crown prince who ordered Khashoggi's killing now gets cutting-edge weapons while Trump's family pursues massive real estate deals with the kingdom. This reckless sale risks giving China access to sensitive technology and undermines Israel's security advantage, all while rewarding an autocratic petrostate with an abysmal human rights record.
