How about Israeli made Gallil assault rifles and Merkava tanks? That would be as good or better

Isn’t this what the CIA did in Jordan over the last 3 years and now those weapons are being used by ISIS? Are we playing both sides of the fence in this war? What the hell is going on here?

Its not unusual for us to supply Russian weapons.

If I recall correctly there were some complaints about us not sanctioning Russian arms manufacturers because the CIA resisted.

We almost always play both sides.

"If I recall correctly there were some complaints about us not sanctioning Russian arms manufacturers because the CIA resisted."

Well you know bath house Barry. He signed an executive order banning the importation of Russian made rifles like Saiga, but the high and mighty Barry then turns around and pays Russia to send guns to the Kurds.

actually we bought them from Russia, while there is a trade embargo going on. Our administration is so hypocritical. 3rd world nations are laughing at us. Our won country is in chaos here. Our police are shooting kids, drugs are flowing like water over the border with Illegals, our stock market is built on a myth, and our most important issue is whether we should give our confused young boys estrogen at 11 because someone thinks they might really be a girl because he played with a doll once.

This sort of thing has been going on for a lot longer than Obama has been president.

“Got a bad feeling bout this….”

I don’t.

Get that S@$@ in there ASAP. And some artillery as well. Drones don’t do suppression or CBF.

Get the Navy in there too while they’re at it.

Irbil bump.

Yeah, I’m all for arming the kurds. They have a history of being friendly to us despite our lack of loyalty to them.

Looks like it is attached in the proper place. Just wrapped around the sight to keep it out of the way. Still kind of odd.

Why not get the Russians to give Russian arms to the Kurds instead of making it look like the Russians are giving Russian arms to the Kurds.

For the last several days the Kurds have been saying, “where are the weapons they claim they’ve sent us”? Guess we know now..
