(www.theguardian.com) submitted 2 years ago by GutsBerserk@lemmy.world to c/politics@lemmy.world 150 comments fedilink hide all child comments The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

I assure you the US can produce enough weapons to kill every man, woman, and child on this planet many times over. I’m not sure why you people keep peddling the narrative that millions, or even billions of dollars in military equipment is worthless. I don't think it's worthless. I think it's a good use of resources permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chitak166@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I assure you the US can produce enough weapons Who pays for the added production? It's like you're arguing the US has more than enough with weapons it was going to replace anyways, then when that's not actually enough you're trying to make it seem like production is free, too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SCB@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago* I'm not understanding - is it your view that we cannot supply weapons because production is too costly? Because that's silly. The ROI is absurd here. permalink fedilink source parent
