they attack Russia while expediting shipments to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, and the rest of the Gulf dictators busy butchering the day away.

I may be wearing out this phrase, but the sanctimonious hypocrisy is just astounding.

aka "if you live in a glasshouse - don't throw stones"

True hypocrites... The US - the world's largest arms exporter - supplies weapons to every continent, countries of just about every political and "human rights" orientation. It seems the problem is that Russia has the gall to obstruct US plans for reshaping the region.

Just because US does shit does not make that shit OK.

Just an observation. Russia and US export far too many arms globally.

An interesting factoid I've read is that the US has been a major firearms exporter since the early 1800s, we were the first country to industrialize firearms manufacturing a huge scale.
