I will agree that selling arms may be a necessary part of international affairs, but the rhetoric from Harper is disingenuous if he is not going to take affirmative action to reduce the threat of violent extremists.

It's basically identical to the Reagan or Bush foreign policy. The arms dealers sell to everybody. And when there's a war, they rake it in.

He is reducing the threat of violent extremists. He's helping them kill each other.

Cynical? You bet. Don't mean it ain't true.

anyway, these are LAVIII's...not rifles or heat seeking moisture missiles.
Swap out the tires for something useful in Canada and I'll take 6 as a prison delivery system for the swamp ones. (i assume what's inside stays inside once the locks is snapped shut and some old 9/11 software so it can be remoted to and fro.

Still sounds hypocritical.

He should either tone down the rhetoric or impose sanctions.


But this is Harper and we know he is all talk.
