No doubt about it. In comparison to Washington’s other weapons trafficking exploits, like Operation Fast & Furious, this one is even more reckless, dangerous, totally unethical – and completely illegal.
Back in 2011, President Obama green-lighted one of the CIA’s worst ever operations – one which resulted in a five year-long flood of weapons, ammunition – right into the hands of ‘moderate’ terrorist fighters running wild in Syria.
In total, hundreds of millions in US taxpayer funds have been spent on arming terrorists in Syria. This is no accident.
The twisted logic and naive optimism of Washington elites was such that they were convinced that these terrorists would eventually bring Syria to its knees and topple the government in Damascus – enabling the US-led ‘coalition’ to divide up Syria and rules over a protracted period of chaos in the region, not caring about the ‘collateral damage’ they have caused along the way.
Somehow, we are meant be believe that the current US President really cares about gun control, and yet here he is – running point one of the largest illegal weapons-tracking operationsin history, and not a crocodile tear is shed for any of the hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrian lives that have been lost because of this criminal US policy.
