U.S. buys Russian helicopters for Afghanistan

Well, there must be a perfectly, reasonable explanation.......

Let me see if I have this straight. Congress gets wind of this purchase of these helicopters from Russia, but that is not the issue. No, rather it is the “human rights” aspect that Russia is supplying Syria with armaments. No where in the post does anyone question why we would do this. But them it turns out that much of our stimulus money went overseas to create jobs. so why would I think it might be good for the U.S. to supply the helicopters and create jobs here. Best of all, they will contain the latest technology. Just wait until after Obama’s re-election when he will can “be more flexible” as he famously said to them before. Why not let everyone have our latest technology. It fits in nicely with Obama’s point of view. Yes, we are in a bind. Here we go.

  1. You think that's bad? This same crap has been going on since at least 2009. Many times the full "no bid" contract price is paid and then the birds are not delivered.
