WTF are the Russians thinking?

Telegraph article

Don't they realize that much of this tech could end up in the hands of Chechen/Islamo-fascists and be used target Moscow?

Jezzzz.....

Don't get me started on the Russians.

Moscow Arms Assad with a Top-Flight Surface Missile

Russian “military advisers” land in the Gaza Strip – DEBKAfile reports exclusively. Jerusalem was not informed of this latest violation of the military protocols Egypt signed.

It's for good reason my family left.

I really don't know what Putin could be up to. It's like he wants to re-start the cold war.

Warmongers. All of them.

But well. Putin have to think of his own people. THis tech earns mucho $$$$.

Im afraid that the very cold view of the future entails "us" (the ohhh so rich western states) bribing "them" to keep peace.

The other alternative is to invade and secure. And after all; id rather send cash than friends over the border...

What do you all think?

To line your pockets while arming your enemies with weapons to kill your own people is not only stupid, but treasonous.

I wouldn't take this article at its face value. The Telegraph is a very right wing Conservative rag (the best part of it is its crossword) and has a long history of disinformation and exaggeration designed to foment reactions such as yours'. Over the past few years, it has had a dichotomous, almost schizophrenic, reaction to the facts that a) Blair's party is far too far over to the left (when, in reality, it is centre-right) and b) his support for Bush's extremist positions being, in their light, justified.

[Dr Mordrid]

I'd think the same as Brian if it weren't for the same info being published by very liberal media in the US with independent sourcing. Such claims actually go back to the mid '90's when the Clinton Administration (not exactly flaming conservatives) documented such activities to Congress in their annual reports.

Not a good sign IMO.
