Requiem for Sanity #2
From a Gwynne Dyer article:
He (Trump) has no intention of cancelling the $110 billion in contracts Saudi Arabia has signed to buy American-made weapons, because “we’d be punishing ourselves if we did that. If they don’t buy it from us, they’re going to buy it from Russia or… China.”
Let me translate:
“We won’t punish a killer, so it wouldn’t stop buying killing machines from us that they could use for mass killing in Yemen and other places.”
I think this is pretty accurate translation.
PS. There is a very appropriate Hungarian aphorism: "Money talks, dogs bark."
