Trump selling weapons to Saudi-Arabia has RT all confused and sad.

https://www.rt.com/op-edge/389110-trump-saudi-arabia-deals-arms/

Very few comments on this. It's as if the RT-readers are trying to ignore that their champion Donald Trump is selling weapons to an oppressive state with a horrible human-rights record that is currently commiting war-crimes in Yemen.

The comments make a few token charges of american imperialism.

Why is Trump selling weapons to Saudi-Arabia? It's actually not his fault:
- The establishment is blackmailing him with the threat of impeachment.
- Trump doesn't know any better and the deep state is manipulating him into selling arms to Saudi-Arabia.
