No One Is Ready For This (Russell Brand)

Russia, bad. China, bad. Trump, bad. Authoritarianism, bad. America under the Democrats is on the “the side of peace and security.” So let’s hope weapon sales to authoritarian regimes isn’t higher under Biden than Trump eh? Ohhh



Brand ranting about how the US sells weapons hand over fist to (almost) anyone that wants em. It doesn't matter who is in office or whether the countries have issues with human rights abuses. The counter to this is that if the US doesn't sell the arms then China or Russia will. The big problem is the overlap of corrupt politics with these arms sales.
