Quite frankly I could care less if they sell anyone F-15s. The technology, as advanced as Saudi Arabia will think it is, will still be extremely dumbed down.
My problem is that the US does this deal partly to keep Iran in check, and partly because they need oil from Saudi Arabia. And yet the Keystone Pipeline is pushed to the side, and Canada is willing to provide the US with oil and we don't even need a $30 billion dollar arms deal.

The US should just take over Saudi Arabia, Kuwait etc. What a waste funneling billions of dollars into desert tribes stuck in 8th century so they can go around building ski resorts in the deserts, buying soccer teams as toys and financing terrorist groups all over the planet.
