By sending a vast amount of arms to Ukraine, the United States is employing a strategy that could backfire, an article on the Moon of Alabama website warned today.
The publication pointed out that amid the conflict with Russia, Washington and its proxies in Europe are moving arsenals to Ukrainian territory, “but no one has any idea where these weapons will end up,” and some will inevitably reach those who are supplying them now.

He recalled that the government of Barack Obama-Joe Biden (2009-2017) in its war in Syria strengthened terrorist networks in its efforts to overthrow President Bashar Al Assad.
The United States imported a vast amount of weapons into Syria that ended up not in the hands of the “moderate rebels” who glorified Washington’s propaganda, but in the hands of jihadists who limited supplies.
Barely a month after the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, The New York Times reported that “hardline Islamic jihadists,” including groups “linked to or connected to al-Qaeda,” “have most of the weapons have received sent to the Syrian opposition”.
In a repeat of this “strategy,” the United States is sending huge numbers of guns and mercenaries to Ukraine, Alabama’s Moon has warned.
Of more long-term concern is the large number of small arms shipped that “fit in the trunk of a car and can easily be smuggled across borders,” he warned.
