The post that was quoted here has been removed"In 2019, Saudi Arabia spent almost $80bn on defence, the same as
Iran spent over the previous four years combined, according to the
London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies."
It would be really nice if every country in the world would cut their defence spending, pay off their debts, and spend a little more on infrastructure, clean energy projects, and helping the poor. It's not going to happen of course, but hope springs eternal.

This is probably why Trump ended the nuclear deal with Iran.
He wants to sell them nukes.

The S-400 ADS was obsolete the minute it arrived in Iran.
Russia just unloaded a bunch of shiny junk to a desperate client.
