For a small inkling of the havoc, destruction, and outright murder the #UAE will use these weapons for, let me offer a refresher, starting with this gem of UAE targeting: https://twitter.com/John_Hudson/status/1325951585042771968
March 2017, wanton massacre of #Somali migrants in a boat by a low-flying #UAE helicopter, killing 33, wounding 29, undoubtedly apparent they were firing on civilian https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/04/13/uae-clarify-role-deadly-attack-refugee-boat
"High-tech" drones operated by low-tech #UAE pilots strike a biscuit factory in #Libya killing 8 civilians earlier this year: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/4/29/uae-drone-strike-on-factory-near-tripoli-killed-8-civilians-hrw

Selling these weapons to #UAE will not make Emiratis or the people of the region safer. It will embolden the Napoleonic ambitions of MBZ for further belligerence & military interventionism in the region, and to resist peaceful resolution of conflicts with Iran and Qatar.
But it will make the US complicit in whatever abuses the #UAE commits.
