All the offensive materiel is coming from the USA, but don’t you dare call it a proxy war.
No F-15s? I guess Joe needs those for the war at home.
“All the offensive materiel is coming from the USA, but don’t you dare call it a proxy war.”
Not all. Tons of former Soviet equipment is being dusted off and sent from Poland, et al. Just doesn’t make the news here.
Of course when it will be us on the receiving side, it’ll be all different.
Then we’ll talk about unlawful combatants or terrorists. We’ll be outraged at how someone would dare arm our enemies. We’ll question the idiology behind them and claim that no sane person would arm, train or feed Intel to such a crazy group or organization.
It’s always different when it’s us. But when it is us, then arming Saddam, Noriega, Azov or training AQ is OK. Our reasons are always good reasons even if we’re all over the map inconsistent.
