- JohnFen 5y agoI can't speak to HN (although it seems to me that spy tools are more in line with HN areas of interest than arms sales), but if you haven't noticed that US arms sales to Saudi Arabia (and other nations) were major news stories, then I can't help you. Because they absolutely have been, and likely will continue to be. Even if that weren't true, I don't see how the amount of press coverage something gets speaks to whether or not that thing is despicable.
