US to forbid Russia from selling S-400 air defense systems to other countries
[ALMASDARNEWS] A caucus of American politicians led by one Senator Bob Menendez have sent an official request to the US Department of State recommending sanction measures against Russia for any future sale of high-end S-400 air defense systems to other countries.The policy initiative has pointed to a technicality in the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (2017) arguing that the sale of strategic game-changing weapons (such as the S-400) by countries like Russia to other nations can be met with sanction action as a form of punishment. The development comes as the armed forces of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... and Qatar  ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...(hiterto exclusive buyers of Western military equipment) are in talks with Russia for the purchase of S-400 systems. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar aside, the sale of S-400s to traditional buyers of Russian military hardware like China and India also now serves to provoke US concerns and the need by certain authorities in Washington to want to impose some kind of punishment.
