I was dismayed to find this New York Times article[1] about U.S. arms deals with Saudi Arabia allowing them to manufacture advanced guidance components for our missile systems.
This is not okay.
U.S. engineers worked tirelessly for years to perfect those systems, and giving the designs away is not worth any geopolitical gain. There is zero chance that these designs will not be stolen by the Russians and the Chinese. Zero.
We are giving away all of our hard work, and then we wonder why the rest of the world catches up so quickly.
I do not see how Trump can be so strongly against technology transfers to China and then hand over our advanced weapon systems to Saudi Arabia.
This is unacceptable.
