American and Gulf States Weapon Smuggling Network Uncovered

[Orgasmo]

Apparently Murica and Saudi Arabia both uses the same airline to transport weapons to armed groups. The intermediary is Azerbaijan, which is an ally of Turkey. Eastern European weapons would be purchased and laundered to add deniability when these countries get accused of aiding and abetting jihadists. American purchased weapons from Bulgaria were found to be mostly shipped to Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda's Syrian branch. The purchase was made by US Special Operations Command.

Bad Murica!

An investigative report by a Bulgarian journalist says Saudi Arabia and the UAE have supplied Eastern-European-made weapons to armed groups in Syria and Iraq using different intermediaries and diplomatic cover to mask their points of origin and final destinations.

The report, authored by Dilyana Gaytandzhiev, claims Saudi Arabia, UAE, the US military and several countries have used Azerbaijani state-owned airlines Silk Way Airlines to transport large quantities of weapons that ended up in the hands of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group, Kurdish fighters in the Middle East and armed groups in Africa.

"At least 350 diplomatic Silk Way Airlines flights transported weapons for war conflicts across the world over the last 3 years," says the report, published in Trud, Bulgaria's largest circulated newspaper.

The US news outlet Buzzfeed published an investigation in 2016 detailing how obscure and small American defence contractors were awarded big contacts by the US military to arm and equip Syrian opposition fighters using eastern European weapons.

Sounds like the Iran-Contra affair of 1985. I'll bet the CIA is also involved. America never learns the mistakes of its history.

"The Iran–Contra affair was a political scandal in the United States that occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo. They hoped, thereby, to fund the Contras in Nicaragua while at the same time negotiating the release of several U.S. hostages. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.
