He&#8217;s giving the world&#8217;s primary exporter of terrorism half a trillion dollars in weapons to fight&#8230; terrorism.  To fight the countries that stand against terrorism.

I wonder how many weapons <i>they&#8217;re<\/i> getting.  <\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s just more military shit.  More wars for nothing but oligarch profits and military spoils.  And heroin, of course.
