Why ?
What did he do ?
Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.
Was he just not loyal enough ???
@corlin I mean, its prolly fine right? We sold nuclear technology and our company helped UAE build a Damn fine nuclear power plant and I'm sure Esper is totally cool with handing over some of our finest aircraft because it's not like UAE immediately teamed up in joint exercises with China and are now gettimg help with nuclear development, I wonder if China would like to see these aircraft? 
whatevah
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine
But...But...
The UAE leases a huge amount of space in THE Hotel.
And
Besides what does the Dept. of Defense know about defense anyway...

It's not like it's a secret... People been screaming about it all year. Longer
Who the fuck had "we will just give away air superiority to the Chinese" On their bingo card...
😡
@corlin Maybe the new Sec Def will take the President on an extended golfing tour? 🤞
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @corlin
I thought he got the hook because he refused to use our military on "domestic security" (read: urban pacification aimed at those opposed to Trump) at Trump's bidding...or is that not public news yet...? 🤔
@netspionage @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @corlin
I'm trying to keep up, sorry!
@netspionage @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine
My guess.
A little of both.
and yes it is very public knowledge now.
@corlin @netspionage Yes, thats what Stars and Stripes reported today. Weapons. I can spell....
@corlin Probably pushing back on sale of 19 billion dollars worth of weapins to UAE
