Actually, I’ve been wondering if Putin was going to start shipping containers of old AK-47s and 7.62x39 over here: the Russian forces now all have AK-74/AKMs, and are starting to move to the new AK-12. Get rid of old stock AND paralyze your biggest competitor. The Russians would LOVE to see us fight Civil War II, and it would screw the Chinese investment in the US. . .
It’s just the sort of utter bastardry that Putin excels at. . .
