WASHINGTON — The Pentagon awarded Lockheed Martin $946 million on behalf of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the defense giants' THAAD missile defense system, the Defense Department announced Monday.
In November, CNBC learned that Saudi Arabia signed a letter of offer and acceptance with the United States for Lockheed Martin's THAAD missile system, a significant step forward in the $15 billion deal. Manufactured by Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon's top weapons supplier, THAAD, or terminal high altitude area defense, is regarded as America's crown jewel in missile defense systems.
Yay! They'll be able to murder even more people. American greed at the cost of humanity never ends.
Build the wall first please !

Oh? Could this be why trump shrugged off Khashoggi's murder by the Saudis?
The Saudis are paying for it $15 billion. The question is why?
Why, because War = $$$
Where will the money come from? More tax cuts for billionaires?
