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.
Sorry, Eric Holder & Obama already had the ATF take care of this.
Too late. We’re already arming the Mexicans.
Like they couldn’t get them know if they really wanted them.
Texas is better armed this time, trust me. Bring it!
The US also sells weapons to Mexico. I assume the vassal of the Russian oligarchs was trying to make some sort of point.
Yes, but did we invade an annex a portion of Mexico?
an = and
Beat me TO it.
The Mexican government? The drug lords? LOL. In the case of the drug lords, they don’t need no stinking help from Chechnya, thank you. They can buy just about anything they want. Besides, the USA government has been friendly enough to the drug lords in this regard.
According to the “Reconquista” crowd, we absolutely did.
Not what I’m talking about . . . although your point would hold in the 1800s.
Holder & Obama's "Fast and Furious" gun running op has already armed the Mexican Reconquista by drug cartels.
“Beat me TO it.”

LOL — Under the Obama regime, the jokes almost write themselves.
True. not only has Obama and Holder armed Mexicans, but we also provide for their food and housing, college educations.
Please, please PHLEEZZEEE arm those greasers to the south!@!!!
PLEEEEEZZZEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Then we can finally do something about that (bleeping) BORDER!
The Chechen idiot may as well give weapons to Canada. As if Mexico or Canada would go to war with the US.
“give weapons to Canada”
I like!
Yes, they may fear another US invasion like occurred during the war of 1812.
I always thought we should just extend our northern boundary up to the St. Lawrence anyway. It’d make the map look nicer.
Since those Quebec dudes want to secede anyway, maybe we could get their cooperation.
We could also use a strip of BC so we can have a straight ride to Alaska w/o dealing w/Canadian customs. They’re a pain about guns. I’m sure Seattle would like to annex Vancouver for increased tax revenue.
I am, of course, kidding if you haven’t figured that out.
I knew you were kidding, but you sounded like a Russian/Chechnyan for a second or two.
