Obama Administration to Allow Allied Countries to Buy Military Drones

The Obama administration has made a new policy on Tuesday that has allowed the US to be able to sell drones to allied foreign countries. When the formal policy was established in 1987 and was an international agreement that the Missile Technology Control Regime. The policy stated that you were not allowed to sell unmanned drones but you were allowed to sell bunker-busting bombs, high power ship mounted guns, and fighter jets. Many problems can come from this such as allied countries selling drones to rival countries. Such as China, Russia, Afghanistan, and other countries that we see as a threat like North Korea. The last time that we gave and sold weapons to other countries it back fired on us. For example Osama Bin Laden, when the US government gave them guns and also information on our military tactics. At that time we thought they would use the tactics we taught them and the weapons we also gave them against Russia but, they ended up using them against the US. Although I believe that this again could cause issues I think in some ways it might be able to solve some problems. For instance, "US officials suggested the drones sales could become a new tool for expanding American influence overseas"(Hennigan 1). Doing this could make us a lot of money since drones are just now being widely introduced to the world. The excepted result of the money to be consumed is 11.5 billion dollars by the date of 2024. Which is double the current income of what is received now. I am not sure if the money and the international influence that we could receive would be worth putting others in danger including ourselves. If the countries that we give supplies to already gave their weapons to our enemies in the past what makes people think that they won't do it again because history has been proven to repeat itself.
