I don't expect bimbos like blood to comprehend such issues.Russia freezes Iran missile sale following Israeli pressure
Following protests by Israel, Russia freezes controversial sale of heavy anti-air missiles to Iran.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has frozen missiles bound for Iran amid Israeli protest of the sale, the Kuwaiti paper Al-Jarida reports.
According to the report, an order of S-300 heavy surface-to-air missiles purchased by Iran has been put on hold by the Russian leader following talks with Israeli officials.
Israel criticized the sale, claiming that at least some of the S-300 missiles would likely fall into the hands of the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon. The presence of long-range anti-aircraft missiles along Israel’s border would threaten both military and civilian flights inside Israel.
According to Al-Jarida, Russia halted the shipment of the missiles after Israel provided evidence that other surface-to-air missiles sold by Russia to Iran had ended up in Hezbollah’s hands.
Russian pilots operating in the area confirmed Israel’s claims, positively identifying SA-22 missile batteries in Hezbollah-controlled territory in Lebanon.
Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, military ties between Russia, Syria, and Iran have tightened, with increased sales of advanced weapons and even direct intervention by Russian forces in the area.
With the release of billions of dollars in frozen assets and the end of economic sanctions, Iran has placed large orders for Russian-made heavy weaponry, including missiles, warplanes, submarines, and tanks.
However, Israel's own ties with Moscow have similarly strengthened, with Russia granting the Israel Air Force freedom to operate over Syria against threats to the Jewish state, while Israel has, among other things, granted Russian aircraft permission to use Israeli air space in their battle against Islamist rebels.

let me not digress,Russia is just after $$$ and they will upgrade the SNA capability to liquadate the terrorist child killers russia knows and suffered terrorism so at the end it is not only russia we can do bussiness with the whole world is open to us through our recognized government and we can do bussiness with anybody.

This was when he called garguurte to meet him in addis
The US govt had then some agenda of establishing the military institution of somalia modeled after Egypt as they got disapponted by the central govt/SFG and the federal regions
So they said let us establish an independent military institution that should provide order and security across somalia until the govt gets stronger
I think they had some list of generals one of them was gen hamud who got removed from the defence ministry to the police due to his the foreign contacts including Saudi Arabia who invited him!
Dj r afraid of the army and think this may effect their future role like the MB in egypt and see this as kind of "ashaado ladirir"!
But I think is this about Russia and the horn in general, the missing US world leadership under obama has led even its allies like Egypt, Afghanistan and iraq to seek rassia!
So imagin Russia having egypt, Syria, Iran and iraq in the middleeast and somalia and ethiopia in the horn of Africa?
That's whats about these contacts for russia

Ethiopia is like Israel. The Government always pleas to the Christian world that it is a Christian "island" in a sea of Muslim states. Israel is the same.
So when both see something that could threaten their own state------they put pressure on the powerful state not to arm its rivals.
Israel recently protested against Russia selling its missiles to Iran and Ethiopia too doesn't want Russian arms for Somalia.
Russia will however give Somalia lip services so they don't alienate them and seek US support instead.

This is a completely false notion. It is in fact the Somali Peninsula that is an Island of Islam, in a ocean of Christianity, Animism and Syncretism.AwRastaale wrote: The [Ethiopian] Government always pleas to the Christian world that it is a Christian "island" in a sea of Muslim states.
The European colonials brought Evangelism. Even in Ethiopia it's challenging the Othordox.Only nine million Christians were in Africa in 1900, but by the year 2000, there were an estimated 380 million Christians there. Much of the recent Christian growth in Africa has been due to African evangelism rather than European missionaries.
Then how do you explain the success of CIA- trained Alpha group commando unit, which is the best and the most experienced special force unit in the eastern Africa ? Are you saying the Russians can train better special force units than Alpha group in somalia ?gurey25 wrote:Too bad because Russian training is well suited to developing countries, and very effective .
The performance of troops all over the world trained by the US and their mercenary groups, in Georgia, Afghanistan and Iraq were abysmal.
infact units trained by the US and Isreal in gerogia performed far worse than the units that did not receive any foreign training,
The US has no clue on how to train local troops to an adequate level,
infact they themselves do not train to realistic levels,
so imagine if the US faces a real war in the future.
no GPS, no smart bombs will work, massive jamming on radios, on radar.
your logistics is fucked, not enough fuel, not enough ammo.
the common US tactic of blowing everything to hell if surprised or suckerpunched will not work if your supply has been messed with , and you need to conserve ammo.
Somalia needs realistic training, we need Russian training.
In a few months the Russians secretly trained the people of donbass and created an armed force far superior to anything in kiev.
ofcourse they had good raw material, they had educated people and allot of veterans.
but if they could do it in a few months, with them, imagine what they could do with somalis or Iraqis in a few years.
They have already revamped and re-trained the Syrian Arab army to a level far higher than they were in just 3 to 6 months.
The Iraqis are begging for the same, but their US masters said, no...
flat out no..
The Iraqis could become independent if their army learns how to fight.
