Default Russia and Ukraine may sell arms

Russia and Ukraine may sell arms that could fall into the hands of the terrorists.

The failed summit between Bush and Putin can haunt the world for years to come, India Daily, Mar 1

"Putin has drawn a line on the sand. He responded to American actions in Georgia, Ukraine and other areas of Russian strategic interest by deciding to arm America’s enemies – China, Iran and Syria. Russians have a huge arms industry. After oil, that industry can fetch them hard-money from countries like China and Iran who are also rich because of housing American Manufacturing base and oil (for Iran).

The Sino-Russian relations is booming. Russian strategy is to play the worst kind of cold-war politics with the Americans by distributing the sophisticated Arm for cash deal to countries that oppose America. The approach is almost close to blackmailing Bush. America at this stage needs to decide either to continue to weaken Russian regime and live with Russia’s immediate actions in arming China, Iran, Syria, Venezuela and so on. The other alternative is to include Russia in the mainstream components of the world."

Ukraine in need of cash plans to sell sophisticated Soviet era Arms to China, India and Iran – the impact on the new world order, India Daily, Mar 1

"For quite some time, Ukraine was complaining about shortage of resources and cash. Long on U.S. political support but short on cash after the Orange Revolution, the Ukrainian government has decided to pursue an official program of selling weapons to bolster the economy. Kiev will begin by selling dual-use weaponry, but chief among its potential customers are states such as Iran, China and India."

I don't believe it, I actually found something that I agree with Mycromouse.
It may be true that former Eastern block countries have sold weapons to countries that we do not like but as Mouse states our own allies Germany, UK, France, etc sell maybe more than the two countries 'Ben-Franklin" mentions. Just for the record I am not a fan of Russia nor was I a fan of the filthy Russian-Soviets.

Default Indian editorials are NOT proof of arms sales

Your only backup for alleging that the new Ukrainian (Yushchenko) government is selling banned arms is some Indian editorial. Come on that is even beyond reaching.
