U.S. Gives Russia Free Military Equipment Used By Army, Marines

“It is difficult to imagine a worse time to provide military-grade technology employed by the U.S. Marine Corps, Army, and Special Operations Forces to Russia than when it has illegally invaded Ukraine Crimea (Illegally invaded or invited by the citizens after the US backed the overthrow of the previous legally elected administration of the Ukraine?)

*****************************

Behind closed doors the U.S. government is giving Russia free military equipment—also used to train American troops—even after President Obama announced punitive sanctions against Moscow and, more importantly, a suspension in military engagement over the invasion and occupation of Ukraine.

The secret operation was exposed this week by members of Congress that discovered it in the process of reviewing the Fiscal Year 2014 budget and the proposed Fiscal Year 2015 budget request.

 It turns out that the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has been providing the Russian Federation with the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES), the federal legislators say. The U.S. military uses MILES for tactical force-on-force training because it has a system of lasers and dummy ammunition to simulate ground combat.

  4. MILES turned 43 last year. And like I've been saying Brock. The only thing this "Russian crisis" was EVER about was a guns and ammo ban. This is the same kind of BS used by Bush I to ban NORINCO imports in the 90's. Too many people are going back to the AK platform, and the Feds WANT everyone to buy AR's --Ever wonder WHY the US Government has waged the most extensive long term(minimum 25 years) PSYOP in history? One with the sole objective of promoting the sale and popularity of the AR and demonizing the AK? (and pretty much any other competing system)----Ray

  5. I have the perfect Ukraine solution for Big O (from his point of view).
    He should station CVN 77 (USS George H. W. Bush) in the Sea of Marmara
    just south of Istanbul along with the full carrier battle group. That would put Putin
    on notice not to mess with the Ukraine and block Russia's fleet's access to their warm water port. The genius of that plan for Obama is that if
    it goes bad he can BLAME IT ON BUSH!
