Based on declassified documents, news reports, and scattered admissions of U.S. officials, this overlooked history of how the Obama-Biden team’s effort to oust the Assad regime – in concert with allies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey – details the series of discrete decisions that ultimately led the U.S. to empower terror networks bent on its destruction.
The U.S. pushed an enormous amount of weapons into Syria. Those weapons did not end up with the ‘moderate rebels’ the U.S. propaganda had elevated but in the hands the most ideological committed and most brutal actors on the ground:
Although the Obama administration claimed that the weapons funneled to Syria were intended for “moderate rebels,” they ultimately ended up in the hands of a jihadi-dominated insurgency. Just one month after the Benghazi attack, the New York Times reported that “hard-line Islamic jihadists,” including groups “with ties or affiliations with Al Qaeda,” have received “the lion’s share of the arms shipped to the Syrian opposition.
In a repeat of that ‘strategy’ the U.S. is currently pushing an enormous amount of weapons as well as mercenaries into Ukraine. The bigger stuff it delivers is not of much concern. But the huge amount of small arms and small ammunition, the anti-tank weapons and the handheld anti-air systems are of serious, long term danger. These fit into a car trunk and can easily be smuggled across boarders.
As I explained previously the rightwing ideology that is nurtured in Ukraine will become a danger primarily to European countries but also beyond:
A part of these are mercenaries currently getting recruited by western ‘security’ companies. These militia will use all the ‘small’ weapons NATO countries are now delivering to the Ukraine to attack Russian troops and their supporters.

We delivered a lot of weapons to Afghanistan because we knew that the people who hate us were going to need a lot of weapons.
And now we do it again.
If you fail at something, do it again but harder…
The greatest generation fought against Hitler in WWII. biden is funding the Ukraine Nazis against Russia
I mentioned this exact same thing the other day, and I got zotted.
The Pentagon is seeding the plans for their own destruction. You FBI cockroaches monitoring these boards, complaining about these comments can go to hell.
“The US has few ways to track the substantial supply of anti-tank, anti-aircraft and other weaponry it has sent across the border into Ukraine, sources tell CNN, a blind spot that’s due in large part to the lack of US boots on the ground in the country — and the easy portability of many of the smaller systems now pouring across the border. It’s a conscious risk the Biden administration is willing to take.In the short term, the US sees the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of equipment to be vital to the Ukrainians’ ability to hold off Moscow’s invasion. A senior defense official said Tuesday that it is “certainly the largest recent supply to a partner country in a conflict.” But the risk, both current US officials and defense analysts say, is that in the long term, some of those weapons may wind up in the hands of other militaries and militias that the US did not intend to arm.
Transparency International ranks Ukraine as number 122 out of 180 countries. The lower the rank on that list the worse the corruption. Whoever officially gets handed the weapons in Ukraine will likely put a part of the stash aside to later sell it to whomever may be interested in them. That will be easy to do:”
Some new Freepers, I believe are Government plants.
A lot of short term thinking over the last couple months.
Biden is the most incompetent POTUS ever.
Not the most destructive yet, but most incompetent.
But on the up side most all be used to kill Russians. Lots and lots of Russians.
Yes, young conscripts that didn’t start the war.
Enjoy celebrating death.

Believe me i am happy days
WASHINGTON – The first U.S. 155mm howitzers from the latest $800 million military aid package for Ukraine have arrived in Europe as American troops there begin training Ukrainian forces on the artillery, a senior U.S. defense official said Wednesday. Some – but not all – of the 18 howitzers and 40,000 artillery rounds that the U.S. is sending Ukraine as part of the aid authorized April 13 by President Joe Biden have arrived in Europe as the U.S. delivered another four flights of military aid during the past 24 hours, said the official who spoke on condition of anonymity....
Yeah I can see some of those surface to air manpads getting into terrorist hands…no doubt…soon to bring down commercial airliners…
I suppose that makes you happy.
Oh, please - so that gives Vlad the green light to conduct a massive invasion, destroying cities, seizing territory and killing thousands? Hope your check from Moscow covers your expenses.
You really think that terrorists need resupply after the Afghanistan debacle?
Yes Russians dying and putin apolgists being frustrated. Yes these are a few of my favorite things. I like it when the forces of darkness can’t help but step all over themselves
That’s that Russian shill Lancaster - oh joy! Hope he wasn’t standing too close to that Russian tank target.
