Attacks On Israel Raise Concerns Weapons Sent To Ukraine, Afghanistan, Fell Ino Terrorists Hands

Those of us who have observed the progress of conflict in Ukraine with the benefit of good peripheral vision which enables us to see the big picture and work out how that local war was playing into other geopolitical 'situations'. We reported this in the hope of promting sensible discussions about how the world was polarising and we were in danger of drifting into a wider, more general and infinitely more deadly conflict because of the intransigence of certain parties not directly involved in the war.

Once issue we Boggart Bloggers and many other alt_news commentators tried to highlight was the folly of the west;s supplying high tech weapons to the crooks and thugs who run that corrupt nation, (its had to single out one nation for the title of Most Corrupt Shithole In The World but Ukraine, both pre and post 2014 is certainly a contender so it was inevitable some if not most of those weapons supllied to Kiev would end up in the hands of whoever could afford the asking price. Our fears were not really prescient, it is exactly what happened when the USA's Biden administration prsided over the panicked and shambolic withdrawal from Afghanistan as the resurgent Taliban advanced on Kabul.

Our warnings were not heeded of course and now our predictions are being proved true (no wonder they call us 'conspiracy theorists', from the Kennedy assassination to the COVID hoax all our conspiracy theories have in the end plated out more or less as predicted.

And now, following the terror attacks on Israel by Hamas, a high-ranking Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commander has told Newsweek that Israel believes the Hamas terrorists were emboldened by the availability of weapons provided by the United States and other Western nations to Ukraine ending up in the hands of Israel’s foes in the Middle East, including Iran.

With other military experts echoing these worries, and adding that some of the $7billion worth of military hardware abandoned to the Taliban as the US military shat themselves made an orderly withdrawal from Kabul have found their way into the hands of Hamas and other terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, ISIS and Al Qaeda the situation could become the lastest chapter in a long legacy of U.S. arms shipments being mislaid and empowering adversaries of both Israel and the U.S.A. in one of the many conflict zones that have resulted from U.S. / NATO meddling in local politics. While the focus of Western governments has been dominated by the volatile conflict playing out in Eastern Europe, some highly dangerous situations have been brewing in other unstable regions.

The Israeli commander mentioned above said the diversion of weapons, such as the Javelin shoulder-fired anti-tank missile system, was being monitored from paramilitary forces operating on both sides of the Russia-Ukrainewarand that pro-Russian formations were motivated to transfer captured U.S.-supplied weapons due to the close defense relationship between Moscow and Tehran, while pro-Ukrainian criminal elements were largely motivated by money to smuggle arms to anyone who can pay. The commander said the primary route was via the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, and argued that the situation was “very dangerous”

Military equipment the US transferred to the Afghan government over the course of 16 years, left behind in Afghanistan after the US completed it’s withdrawal from the country and the Afghn national army disintegrated and ran for the hills, according to a congressionally mandated report from the US Department of Defense included: 

A total of 9,524 air-to-ground munitions, valued at $6.54 million….

Over 40,000 of the total 96,000 military vehicles the US gave to Afghan forces including 12,000 military Humvees…

More than 300,000 of the total 427,300 weapons the US gave to Afghan forces….

Less than 1,537,000 of the “specialty munitions” and “common small arms ammunition,” valued at a total of $48 million….

“Nearly all” of the communications equipment that the US gave to Afghan forces, including base-station, mobile, man-portable and hand-held commercial and military radio systems, and associated transmitters and encryption devices also remained..
“Nearly all” night vision, surveillance, “biometric and positioning equipment” totalling nearly 42,000 pieces of equipment…..

And “nearly all,” of the explosive ordinance disposal and de-mining equipment, including 17,500 “pieces of explosive detection, electronic countermeasure, disposal and personal protective equipment” also remained in Afghanistan, according to the report.

And now the terrorists are giving it back.

Saudi Arabia’s powerful, and controversial, 32-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as we warned earlier in the year when he was elevated to his currrent status, has in a few months has made more local (and foreign) enemies than most of his predecessors accumulated over a lifetime, appears to have decided he does not need to wait any longer for the final war that will cement the global supremacy of his particularly unpleasant brand of Islamic extremism.

UK Government Accused Of Covering Up Saudi Arabia Funding Of TerrorismA new report commissioned by David Cameron before he resigned as Prime minister has highlighted links between recent terror attacks in the UK and the funding of UK mosques by the extremist Wahhabi regime in Saudi Arabia, which "is heavily involved in exporting an illiberal, bigoted fundamentalist ideology."

White House Says It Will Fake "Chemical Weapon Attack" In Syria

In a rare outbreak of common sense, a bill barring the US Federal Government from giving money and weapons to child murdering terrorists like the head amputators, slave dealers and human organ noshers of ISIS and Al Nusra (Barack Obama's beloved 'moderate rebels',) garnered hardly any support from either the Democratic Perpetual War Party, or the Republican War Is Good Business Party.

She showed herself to be a hypocrite by posting a whinge about people reacting with anger and 'hate' to this latest atrocity; "I'm all about compassion, I will not stand by and see Muslims victimised because of this." Oh yeah? And what about the dead and injured victimised by a muslim extremist? *

Europe Rejects Obama Doctrine - US Exceptionalism Is Not Acceptable
With a backlash against his efforts to bully Britons into voting to remain in the EU pushing the leave campaign into a narrow lead in opinion polls Obama's vistit to Europe last week could hardly be described as a success.

To Join Obama's Proxy War Against Russia In Syria Would Be Cameron's Greatest Folly
A look at our prospects should tway - boy Cameron succeed in obtaining parliament's approval for his wish to join Obama's coalition ofg dodgy political opportunists in their attempt to overthrow Syria's President Assad. Given that Putin has said many times, Assad stays, our outdated war planes don't stand an ice cube in hell's chance against Russian S34s and Growler Surface to Air missiules (SAMs). And that's without factoring in China's pledge to support it's allies Putin and Assad.

The U.S. government has dropped hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs on Iraq alone in the last dozen years – and even hailed the start of the bombing campaign in 2003 as “shock and awe” – but now has coyly and repeatedly decried the Syrian government’s supposed use of crude “barrel bombs.”
