The Pentagon has already spent $411 million with Rosoboronexport since May of 2011, so this will bring the total in excess of $1 billion of taxpayer funds that have been spent with the Russian supplier.

Thank heaven the sequester kicked in. Imagine how that money would have been wasted in the U. S. if it hadn’t.

hey, if the Russians want to sell helicopters to the Afghan government, I say fine, and let Karzai find some other patron to pay for them.

Makes perfect sense. Much easier to supply spare parts once Russia marches in to fill the void left by the American withdrawl on ObaMao's deadline.
Just as he destroyed NASA to give Russia the space monopoly they craved for more than a generation, he will give them the Afghanistan they couldn't conquer as the Soviet Union.

25 years ago we were transferring SAMs to the Mujaheddin to shoot down Russian helicopters
I guess Obama is being blackmailed to make payback

Putting aside all the other insane policies in Afghanistan for a moment ...
We've trained and equipped a military and police force that will cost several times the entire GDP of the country to maintain. Talk about setting a country up for failure.
The Afghans have successfully been defeating empires for a millennium using antique weapons and guerrilla tactics. Assuming there is a functioning government to deliver the helicopters to they'll be full of holes and/or rotting on the weed infested tarmac in 12 months from delivery.

Obama cannot SPEND one damned dime. All he has to spend is what the REPUBLICANS in the House give him. If this happens, BLAME THE REPUBLICANS in the House of Representatives that vote FOR the expenditure.

It will be a billion before it gets there. Amazing how our fearless leader is willing to send billions of our hard-earned money to regimes that hate us.
