General Dynamics reports first financial fallout from business with Saudi Arabia after Khashoggi killingThe manufacturer reported disappointing cash-flow figures for its most recent quarter, something executives attributed to 'diplomatic contretemps' related to a disputed arms deal between Canada and Saudi Arabia. Why does the Amazon WaPo romanticize this Terrorist Sympathizer? Asking for 325M Americans and our sons and daughters fighting against terror around the world. Qatar isn’t our ally. Neither is Iran. Yet K advocated for the wrong side in these conflicts. i.e. Muslim Brotherhood. That’s okay, they’ll make it up with juvenile detention facilities for migrant children who were stolen from their families. IsMySchadenfreudeShowing? GeneralDynamics and SaudiArabia deserve each other.
