  1. Sending weaponry to conflicts was the norm through the coldwar. This difference is the amount of publicity in this conflict.

  2. @SplurbBat Nothing innocent about Saddam's regime. I was referring to post invasion, but there was a time when it was getting support from the US and the Soviets.

  3. @SplurbBat He gassed his own people and invaded his neighbours, he was beyond the even a normal dictator. The validity of the invasion is a different question to being innocent.

  4. Arming is indirect.

  5. If the worry is Russia, sending weapons to fight Russia is ensuring our defence.

  8.  @Smithy779  Your right constant improvement is standard practise. Brimstone has already gone through a few iterations, the next being the basis for SPEAR III. Russia would gain from examples but it's not going to be crucial. Honestly the biggest issue Russia has is not it ability to develop kit but being able to get in into service in numbers.
