    What did anyone expect? Both sides take military industrial complex money

      Don’t think the MIC is the deciding factor here, nor that the MIC particularly cares whether aid is attached to human rights scrutiny.

        I think the core here is that the MIC just wants to sell weapons and it doesn’t really matter who or where the ammunition use happens on or with , but that ammo is used and more ammo is bought.

        What I meant by my comment is that they aren’t ‘picking sides’ so much as making sure that oversight isn’t enforced so arms sales can continue unimpeded.
