I find it extremely hypocritical that the British and Americans trot out this "no negotiating with terrorists" line after arming the c**ts in the first place. As for them using the money, you do realise it wouldn't be much use to them if the 5 countries I named would swallow their greed and obey the arms treaties they signed, don't you?Markt85 said:aguero93:20 said:Just wasn't on the thread. You keep listening to your soundbites while your country sells weapons to every buyer in the middle east.
I'll worry about our soldiers and medics in the peace corps that go in and clean up the mess created by it.
Sorry where was I in agreement that we should sell weapons to every buyer in the Middle East ?
I just stated the case that ISIS are not for negotiating , they are jihadists and in there view fighting a holy war. You want us to just casually give this group of fanatics millions of dollars every time they shove a knife to an American head, correct ?
A very good point, which is often missed. If the trade of weapons was restricted and properly enforced then there would be less available weaponry to Warlord led organisations like IS. The trouble is that even if official trade is restricted they still use unofficial means- with black market gun runners acting as privateers for countries that need the flow of weapons to carry out their foreign policy objectives.
