Yeah I can see some of those surface to air manpads getting into terrorist hands…no doubt…soon to bring down commercial airliners…
Sort of like the Russian Buk antiaircraft system the shot that Dutch airliner down with, killing 298 innocent people?
You OK with that?

After Russia’s failed Afghanistan venture, there was incredible terrorism concern about the 300 stingers that we donated to the Taliban and were simply lost.
Now we are sending thousands of manpads, antitank weapons, mines, portable drones, small arms, heavy machineguns, artillery, etc to Ukraine.
Meanwhile Ukraine is turning prisoners out and forcibly conscripting them to fight. Essentially we are putting thousands of extremely dangerous & unaccountable weapons into the hands of Ukrainian mafia members. What could go wrong????
I wonder what the going price for a case of javelins or stingers is in Kyiv these days? And how sketchy would a customer have to be for the Ukrainian mob to turn them away?
