I was amused by the headlines this morning stating that our Navy stopped an Iranian boat "smuggling" over 2,000 rifles to Yemen. It's funny how we can tell certain countries who they are allowed to provide weapons to, while we continue to send billions in far more powerful arms and armor to our favored countries. Not that I sympathize with Iran at all, but the hypocrisy and arrogance of the US government is impressive.
Don't forget we have a 'rules based' international order - the US gets to make up whatever rules it wants! (International law is so damn inflexible in comparison.)
