The Arms Trade
-
Which makes me very happy :)
-
I’d would vote Yay if the font size was smaller
My, not all of us have as perfect vision as you.
Anyways, this is one resolution we can all support. :)
Though there is a big difference for a third-world country and someone who abuses human rights… -
This is quite a lovefest
-
i’m for it too.
Yanny, one of the purposes of the bill is to stop shipments of weapons to human rights abusers like Egypt, China, and Israel.
ha, i’m surprised you put Israel in the “rights abusers” camp.
-
Not exactly, there should be instances where the sale of arms to 3rd world countries should be allowed under dire circumstances.
-
-
I voted “Yay”, but i am still hoping to overthrow a military regime in a country to set up my own, and having US arms backing subsequent to that would be really handy.
I think we could deal. After all, i intend to hold democratic elections as long as the citizens make the right choice (me). -
What would happen if we wanted to sell weaponry to a group such as the Taliban resistance? Not allowed?
-
The Weapons would be “Lost” or “Stolen” or “Never Existant”.

Moses, give me an example.
-
Fanaticals under Adolf Hitler decides to invade Guatemala, which lacks proper weapons to defend itself. Guatemala seeks help from big brother in the North but can’t recieve any due to this act… :-?

LOL, Moses’ proposal could happen, that is what I like about it. LOL

TM Moses VIII is TG Moses VI’s little sister. He’s very emotional when it comes to her and very protective. ;)
-
lol Moses, your example sucks.
First of all, if Hitler was going to invade Guatamalea, U.S. troops or the promise that we would fight him would do tens times as much as 1,000 machine guns or a dozen F-16s.
Second, Guatamalea would use any weapons we gave them on their own people. If they are going to cut down protestors, at least not let it be M-60s or M-16s.

Yet how come there is civil strife across the world?

How are you sure of this???

What about other conflicts around the world - in particular Africa?

Maybe all those weapons we sell to the third world has something to so with it…

Ummm… I don’t see many insurgents equiping them as much with American weapons as I see foreign ones…
-
Moses, back to my point of we don’t need the blood money
If a government or a paramilitary force is going to massacre civilians, why does it have to be our weapons?
THird world countries take out huge loans and spend large percentages of their budgets on weapons. THeir economies become retarded, and their governments go bankrupt.
