So much for the US signing Arms Trade Treaty

Pfffft. I might have known..... Much hoopla over the US finally signing the UN inspired Arms Trade Treaty from Amnesty and all, about a year later after it torpedoed the bloody thing (pun intended) at the 11th hour. Here we all were actually thinking it may very well stop at least some of the US made weapons being exported to assholes, like the chemical mass murdering Syrian rebels. How silly we all were.

Nope, it's business as usual for the US weapons industry darlings. In fact the weapons industry is about to enter boom times. The Obama gov has hugely opened up weapons exports to the whole bloody world. Looks to me like it's going to be a lot worse than before they even signed the Arms Trade Treaty. 

The United States is loosening controls over military exports, in a shift that former U.S. officials and human rights advocates say could increase the flow of American-made military parts to the world’s conflicts and make it harder to enforce arms sanctions. 

Come tomorrow, thousands of parts of military aircraft, such as propeller blades, brake pads and tires will be able to be sent to almost any country in the world, with minimal oversight 2013 even to some countries subject to U.N. arms embargos. U.S. companies will also face fewer checks than in the past when selling some military aircraft to dozens of countries. 

Critics, including some who’ve worked on enforcing arms export laws, say the changes could undermine efforts to prevent arms smuggling to Iran and others. more

So WTF did they even bother to sign the treaty for? Talk about a law unto themselves.
