Rajiv Chandrasekaran explains whe the UAE is the most generous government in the world

"UAE officials are negotiating to buy 30 more F-16s — to augment the 80 they already have — equipped with even more advanced features. Last year, the UAE purchased a $7 billion set of high-altitude anti-missile batteries from the United States that would have a far longer range than its existing Patriot missile defense system. As with the F-16s, the government in Abu Dhabi has not sought U.S. subsidies or loans for the arms."
