The head of the legislature in Russia's Chechnya region says that Russia will provide arms to Mexico if Washington supplies weapons to Ukraine.
Chechen Parliament Speaker Dukvakha Abdurakhmanov said the arms would be aimed at reigniting U.S.-Mexican disputes over “territories annexed by the United States in the American states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and part of Wyoming.”
“We will perceive arms shipments to Ukraine as a signal to respond in kind,” Abdurakhmanov said in a March 24 statement posted on the Chechen parliament’s website.
Abdurakhmanov is a close associate of Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed strongman who rules Chechnya.
Prominent U.S. lawmakers have called on U.S. President Barack Obama to supply Ukraine with weapons they say will allow Kyiv to protect its territory against Russian-backed separatists.
The Obama administration has resisted the calls, saying the move could result in greater bloodshed between Ukrainian forces and the separatists in a conflict that has killed more than 6,000 people since April 2014.
Zimmermann telegram redux.
Your too quick for me. I could’t type fast enough to say the same thing. Holder should be traded to the Russians for some Vodka.

They would have had a valid threat if they had threatened to arm AMERICANS.
Sounds like both Napoleon and also Germany in WWI (Zimmerman telegram).
Not recently.
Ok, then . . . not relevant.
Eric Holder helped armed the Mexicans...
Yep, so why not think it’s fine for the Russians to do the same, right?
Some of us are not thinking clearly. It’s early in the morning, I suppose.
Actually, we did. We invaded Mexico in a two year war between 1846-8, occupied the capital of Mexico City, and dictated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to the vanquished Mexican government. By its terms, we "bought" California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Colorado for a total price of $18,250,000. That's the way of the world, but at least we paid. Unfortunately, recent US administrations have been giving much of those territories back to Mexico through unchecked immigration.
Those states are already being resettled. Threaten us with something new next time.
Ok, so now compare your comment to the situation in Ukraine, if you can.
This would be comical were the little islamist not in power.
Silly man. The DoJ, esp. the BATFE, are already arming Mexico.
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Major powers defend their border regions at all costs, and their smaller neighbors get trampled whenever they align themselves with their larger neighbors' enemies. It isn't pretty, but that's how it is. Russia is doing exactly what we have done and would do if Moscow or Beijing installed a puppet ally in Ottawa or Mexico City and pursued a military treaty alliance with it. These events are so predictable that Ray Charles could have seen them coming.
LOL ! And then what ? Pathetic islamic clown.
Too bad the shirtless punk is likely to arm North Korea and pay them to carry out some stunt in Asia and that can be really dangerous.
I knew this would have already been posted ;-)
My thoughts, exactly. They’re too late...Eric the Holder already “walked” it over.
