Now, last time I checked, the only people who are threatening the Assad regime with aircraft are the Israelis who claim they&#8217;re only striking chemical weapons installations. The Israelis have threatened to strike the anti-aircraft batteries if Russia goes ahead with it&#8217;s plan.<\/p>\n<p>Russia claims that it&#8217;s only bringing stability to the region with the arms shipments. Yeah, that makes complete sense. And Russia has brought so peace to the world with it&#8217;s arms shipments in the past &#8211; you know like giving everyone with a pulse an AK47. So to counter the Russian arms sales, the European Union let it&#8217;s own ban on weapons sales to the Syrian rebels expire.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At the State Department, Mr. Ventrell told reporters that the EU development was positive in that it \u201cgive the flexibility to specific EU member states to assist the opposition in the way that each sees fit under their own national decision making.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So this administration is perfectly willing to let the world supply weapons to both sides, while hostilities are expanding outside of the country to Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. With Iran and Russia supplying weapons to Hezbollah in support of the government and the EU giving weapons to al Qaeda-linked rebels.<\/p>\n<p>While on it&#8217;s face, it looks pleasing that all of these perpetually outraged neanderthals are killing each other effectively and massively, when the fighting finally ends in Syria, those weapons won&#8217;t remain in Syria. We&#8217;ve all heard the Left complain that Reagan supplied Hussein and bin Laden with weapons that they used against us (it&#8217;s not true, but they think it makes them sound smart), but this one has a real possibility of blowing up in our faces, literally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Washington Times, Russia is continuing to sell arms to the Assad regime in &hellip; <a title=\"Syria, the tarbaby\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35871\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Syria, the tarbaby<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35871\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
