We all just paid for more schoolchildren getting burned alive in Yemen.
I dont have a lot of fucks left to care about a bunch of hajjis killing each other.
Cynical AF on the subject
You are just helping Israel, really. That's all this shit is. Israel doesn't like Iran. Saudis hate Iran too, and Israel wants to set the Arabs and Persians against one another.

Pretty cool video representation of the arms sales race between Russia vs US. The correlation between how the general economy went/goes and our share of the arms market is pretty stark. Russia was killing it in the late 70's early 80's then got crushed in the early 90's when US peaked at around 50% of the worlds arm sales in 1995.
