and in response to a post by all4one, the the russians sure are doing a great job of hiding their military expenditures given the size of the russian economy - and in relation to the ak47  , fakes are made all over the world - and just a cheap, but nasty and effective rifle ...

it seems that the americans have some legislation - let watso find a link..

By approving the contract, the Indian government has defied the US Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, also known as CAATSA on Russia.

mmmm maybe the russians and chinese need to have similar legislation - which obviously would target the USA... so if USA sell weapons to suadi arabia, then russia or china would impose sanctions on saudi arabia ... the problem of course is that saudi arabia does not deal in roubles through russian banks


mmmm from memory, saudi arabia has expressed an interest in buying the s400

In rebuttal to Trump, bin Salman says Saudi won't pay US for ...

PRESSTV-5 Oct. 2018
The 33-year-old crown prince went on to say that Saudi Arabia had ... with Saudi Arabia to finalize the agreement to sell the S-400 Triumf, the ...

mmmm very interesting - with a bit of luck the saudis will finalize the purchase of the s400  and see what happens!!!!

lucky that iran is the evil country - as well as that guy assaad (ok he is not a country)  in syria blah blah.. nevertheless democracy is alive and well in saudi arabia - they seem to have elections all the time blah blah blah - by contrast both syria and iran are total dictatorships with totalitarian rule .

ok watso talks a lot of rubbish ... but who controls iran?? they seem to have elections (ie democracy) - but it seems that there is an overriding control mechanism , to decide the overall direction of the country - and elections are fought within those constraints ...

mmmm not too much different to america .. the deep state and the military industrial complex actually run the show (just like the mullahs in iran)  and the elected government just fiddle around a bit

watso is keeping his fingers crossed that trump will be different .. there was link (on hc) somewhere which was hopeful - but also a  dream time scenario .. maybe later on sometime, watso will find the link
