Good thing.....The Romanians could not even put the front sight on a AK straight.

Are they really paying for them? They are a desperately poor country.

If properly bore-scoped and zeroed by the book, putting 120mm depleted uranium super sabot rounds on target at 4,000 meters for first round hits is far easier with the Abram fire control system, than an AK at 200 meters. This is a good move for Romania.

As long as the neocon's PACs stay fat I'm sure some of that "portable" Omnibus money can be moved around.

You would get the shock of your life if you visited. They sailed by america as it spiralled downwards some time ago .

Am back there again in early summer and therefore talk with considerable first hand experience.
Medicine , food and drink -- superb , with property dirt cheap in comparison . Very savvy people .

Constanta on the Black sea coast is a good start point , then inland to Bucharest .

We're unloading surplus; most of the cost has already been eaten by U.S. taxpayers, and it is highly doubtful they're going to be charged anywhere near their value, so we will pay again via absorbing the big discounts.

All of this armchair chatter seems to suggest that America is still making plans for Europe to fight a conventional war against Russia.

We can practically say that the Ukraine and it army have been destroyed and a peace deal to come will be of no importance.

And so the only problem with those plans are in the fact that totally different rules will apply when the artillery rounds begin to fall within Russia's traditional borders.

Fact: Neither Russia or America can allow the other side to win the war to come.

Russia's reasons are obvious and have been explained. China is a part of the equation.

America's reason is because this war will be the final matchup that will spell out America's future as the lone undisputed world superpower.

Make sure to tell the Russian conscripts

Yes, and the reason is they've been marched over by foreign armies and plundered how many times in the last few thousand years?

I hope it is not like "selling" shit to Israel.

We agree to let the Israel butt pirates buy 100 F-16s or whatever. In the contract is a stipulation to the defense company that if Israel defaults then the US will pick up the tab.

Then a few months later some obscure bill is passed and in it is a section that says the US will assume the Israeli debt.

It has happen numerous time before.
