US Approves $1.15 bln for KSA, Denies Pakistan $300 mln?

[as1mz]

US denies $300 mln, primarily reimbursements, and on the other hand agrees to sell $1.15 bln worth of military equipment to KSA.. Guess it's too soon to say US-Pak relations have seen better days. -.-

selling is business. Donating is charity. Given the downturn of economy, USA will certainly chose business over charity

 

[neem456]

What a sham title that is.

US is selling those tanks to ksa, not donating.

Stupidity really has no limit.

 

[Sliver]

you really cannot equate KSA to Pakistan. they occupy totally different places in the US' scheme of things

 

[hussain0216]

Forget the USA, have a cordial relationship, focus on trade and ensure we tell them how trade is important to transform areas and give jobs to pakistani youths to protect them from extremism and obtain weapons from elsewhere unlesz absolutely necessary

Pakistan is comparing itself with KSA
See your policies, comparative to N korea.
World compare you only with Korea (north vala).

Maybe some day but highly unlikely now.

Selling and Giving for FREE are entirely different.

Israel receives some nice military aid, all those toys for free

 

[Sargon of Akkad]

The US should donate weapons for free to KSA as well as they do in the case of Israel, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. If those leeching countries can receive weapons for free the oldest US ally in the ME/Muslim world should receive weapons for free too. We should engage in some kind of extortion to achieve such policies. Why are such unreliable allies, expect Israel, receiving weapons for free and not KSA? That is a good question that the House of Saud should be asking themselves. Is it really worth it?

Maybe another 9/11 is needed. The Kenyan has been a complete disaster. We should align ourselves with China 100%. A Chinese-KSA/Arab (the two largest ethnicities in the world) alliance would be unbeatable. Chinese are reliable partners.

We don't get much military aid, just small arms and ammunition. AT-4 and a few MRAPS was about the 'best' aid given. The 140 Abrams tanks were bought, the F-16's bought, C-130-J30's bought etc. t's Israel that is receiving the big aid.. Egypt as well (F-16's mostly), Jordan and Pakistan but mostly Israel. $3 billion a year which is a huge amount for such a tiny state.

So I am not allowed to do a bit of trolling anymore?

You forgot the billions that the American taxpayer spent on building the new Iraqi army and training it. Some put that number at 25 billion dollars during the occupation. After the Americans left in December 2011 and until today there have been support as well although nowhere near as much as between 2003-2011.

All I am saying is that the US should be giving free equipment and money to KSA and the GCC as well since we are, at least in the case of KSA, the oldest ally in the ME/Muslim world and a very trusted one at that. Of course they will never do that as we are not poor or unstable countries. Anyway I wish for the House of Saud to become less dependent on the US and become closer to China and Russia although I disagree with the Russian role in Syria.

What ever lobbying KSA will do the will not be given any free aid from uncle sam, C'mon KSA is one of the richest in the world.

Don't try your luck on China, their government is backstabber. if not for Syrian messed i would rather trust russian than chinese
