Company backed by #Trump sons looks to sell #drone #interceptors to #GulfStates being attacked by #Iran

NEW YORK (AP) — "A drone maker backed by President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons is trying to sell to Gulf countries while they are under attack by Iran and dependent on the U.S. military led by their father.
"The sales drive by Florida-based #Powerus – which announced a deal last month to bring aboard #EricTrump and #DonaldTrumpJr. – positions the company to potentially benefit from a war that their father began.
" 'These countries are under enormous pressure to buy from the sons of the president so he will do what they want,' said Richard Painter, a former chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush. 'This is going to be the first family of a president to make a lot of money off war — a war he didn’t get the consent of Congress for.' "

A drone maker backed by President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons is trying to win contracts with Gulf countries under threat by Iran and protected by the U.S. military led by their father. Powerus is holding demonstrations in “several” Gulf countries of how its defensive drone interceptors could help them ward off the attacks, according to co-founder Brett Velicovich. Powerus recently struck a deal that will bring on the Trump brothers, Eric and Donald Jr., as stakeholders in the military contractor. The president’s oldest sons have expanded their business interests rapidly beyond hotels and golf courses in a little over a year since their father took office again.
#Greens #LarissaWaters: “we’ve watched an alarming escalation in the #MiddleEast following #DonaldTrump and #BenjaminNetanyahu's #strikes on #Iran, and the retaliations that have followed.
#Iranians deserve safety and freedom from fear - whether from their own government or other countries.
The desire for that freedom is real. So is the devastation that follows #illegalwars and #illegalbombing campaigns.
We don’t control what happens overseas, but we are responsible for what is done in our name.
#AnthonyAlbanese was the first world leader to support these strikes, and the government has refused to rule out the use of Australian military resources in this conflict.
I am proud that our Greens movement is prepared to stand for #peace in a moment like this.
But it tells us something about how narrow and concentrated political power has become in this country. In a healthy democracy, there must be room for challenge, for pause and for dissent - especially when the stakes are this high.
That means ensuring the Greens are strong enough to hold to our values when pressure builds, and strong enough to stop Australia being dragged into another #illegalUSwar like #Iraq or pulled further to the right in alignment with Trump-style politics.
With the new donation laws about to take effect, that narrowing is set to become even more deeply embedded in our system.
That is why we are working now to expand our movement and ensure there are enough voices, resources and community power to withstand this growing pressure.” #auspol #TrumpRegime #uspol

Watch MP Sevim Dağdelen @[email protected] in the German Bundestag, a member of Die Linke (The Left), as she destroys myths about NATO’s defensive nature and unmasks its warmongering legacy. She argues, “The illegal wars of the US and its allies have cost the lives of 4,500,000 people in the last 20 years alone.”
