Obama Gives $680 Million to Military Firm Owned by… Russia






The level of corruption that exists in the government is difficult for people of integrity to even comprehend. Almost every action taken by politicians is about power brokering. It’s about keeping power in the family — in the establishment.

That’s why John McCain is attacking Rand Paul and defending Obama. He’s part of the system, and people who challenge the system are the enemy, no matter what party they’re in.

For an example of how corrupt things are, just look at what Obama just did. He sent $680,000,000 to a Russian-government owned military company. Why? To buy helicopters. Who would use the helicopters? Afghanistan. That’s right, this foreign aid is even worse than the aid being given to Egypt, because at least Egypt was buying US hardware.




Keeping Track of the Score

Here are some more examples of what went wrong with this “deal”:
■It gave money to Russia. Honestly, if this being a problem needs to be explained, we’re further gone than I thought. We shouldn’t be spending our money to give to the governments of other countries — especially not Russia.
■It gave hardware to Afghanistan. The government of Afghanistan can’t be bailed out by US taxpayers forever. It’s time they take their own security as their own responsibility.
■It gave money to a corrupt firm. The firm that received the millions – It gave money to a corrupt firm (Rosoboronexport) has helped send military hardware to other tyrannical regimes, like the Syrian government. We’re essentially financing a corporation that’s helping murder people.
■It was a no bid contract. US arms makers couldn’t even bid on the contract. This wasn’t just about arms — this was political. This was power-brokering. Obama is trying to make friends with powerful people — and he’s using our money.
■It bypassed congress. Congress explicitly has made it difficult to buy anything from Rosoboronexport. Obama bypassed them. People from both parties have condemned our deals with Rosoboronexport in the past, and apparently, the administration couldn’t care less.

In the end, like almost all of our foreign policy, this was about power. It’s not about liberty, or security, or the economy. It’s about power brokering. We simply can’t afford this any longer. Please help us spread the word on Facebook and Twitter — people need to know that there’s bipartisan anger over Obama taxing us to give to the Russians.

Speak Out While It's Still Legal:
 
“The Department of Defense has notified Congress of its intent to contract with Rosoboronexport for 30 additional Mi-17 rotary-wing aircraft to support the Afghanistan National Security Forces Special Mission Wing,” Pentagon spokesman James Gregory said. In a statement to Russia’s told RIA Novosti news agency, Gregory said the
U.S. purchase would continue despite an amendment to the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act. The amendment bans contracts between Washington and Rosoboronexport amid Russia’s massive military help to the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The congressional amendment gives Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel the right to waive the ban if he determined that the contracts serve U.S. national security. The helicopter contract for Afghanistan was reported at $690 million.

“Given current timelines, the department has determined that Rosoboronexport is the only viable means of meeting ANSF requirements,”
Gregory said..

Sounds like a good idea.

It was the Pentagon who made this decision to buy from Russia because the Russian helicopters are easier to maintain and it took two years off the training period for Afghan forces.

They were also hundreds of miles away instead of thousands.


Aside from that, one word: Halliburton
 
i'm really amazed at the slavish devotion and loyalty still bestowed upon Obama, despite the fact that he really hasn't shown himself to be much different than Bush2.

Worse! Obama has absolutely zero leadership skills and comes off as a tinpot dictator. And all of the useful idiots are slobbering Obama's knob for whatever reason beats the hell out of me.

What I Believe

Almost all human problems are now related to bad worldview. We have enough technology to make most of the people on the planet have almost everything they could want, but bad philosophy and bad character stop us from even getting close. People are the authors of most of their own problems.

I’m a Christian who believes in studying natural order in order to understand true philosophy. If I had to label my philosophical views, I’d say it’d be an odd mix between Lewis, Rand, and Seneca… a rational study of nature in order to learn more about God.

“The Department of Defense (DOD) has notified Congress of its intent to contract with Rosoboronexport for 30 additional Mi-17 rotary-wing aircraft to support the Afghanistan National Security Forces (ANSF) Special Mission Wing,” Pentagon spokesman James Gregory told RIA Novosti in emailed comments.

The 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, approved by Congress last year, includes an amendment that prohibits financial contracts between the United States and Rosoboronexport, except when the Secretary of Defense determines that such arrangements are in the interest of national security.

Given current timelines, the department has determined that Rosoboronexport is the only viable means of meeting ANSF requirements” for the helicopters, Gregory said.

The contract totals $690 million, most of which would go to the Russian arms maker, he added.

In February, US President Barack Obama announced plans to reduce the number of US troops in Afghanistan from 66,000 to 34,000 over the next year, leaving Afghan forces with an increased role in their nation’s security.

Many of the Afghan forces have already been trained to operate the Russian aircraft. Switching to a new platform would delay the readiness of their rotary wing division by at least three years while crews get training and experience on a new system, Gregory said.
