I know that Britain and the United States and others ship arms in the Middle East, 10 or maybe 100 times more than the Russian does.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Russians can give you arms but only the United States can give you a solution.
The U.S. is by far the biggest exporter of arms in the world. It was true during the Clinton administration, and it's true during the Bush administration. It's bipartisan.
Britain is one of the biggest arms dealers in the world, after the States. There's a lot of money in weapons deals. We sell weapons, and our responsibility ends as soon as they leave the country; they're unpacked, and then before you know it, they're spread around the world.
Allied supplies of arms to Russia, and the manpower reserves of Russia have been sufficient to bring continuous counter-attacks against our Eastern Front.
We still need to be conscious of the fact that Russia has intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Russia, their number one client in the Middle East is Syria; that is their foothold in the Middle East. They want to have influence there.
The fact is that Americans were sent to Russia that have not been returned.
Since the Gulf War, since the new World Order, America is now the number one arms dealer in the world.
I can honestly say I've never sold any arms to a repressive foreign regime while reassuring everyone at home that the weapons will be used for nice things.
If we speak calmly, in a businesslike fashion, let me draw your attention to the fact that Russia supplies arms to the legitimate government of Syria in full compliance with the norms of international law. We are not breaching any rules and norms.
