Comments on: Empty Gestures https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/05/15/empty-gestures/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Tue, 16 May 2006 21:55:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/05/15/empty-gestures/comment-page-1/#comment-6030 Tue, 16 May 2006 21:55:13 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/05/15/empty-gestures/#comment-6030 The US say Venezuela can’t do it because of the agreement they signed when they bought the planes, but Venezuela responded that the US voided the agreement when they refused to sell them parts for the planes.

The same garbage the US did to Iran. The equipment Iran originally bought for their nuclear program would have resulted in a program that would very difficult to convert to a military program for weapon’s grade uranium. The US blocked the delivery of the equipment to build reactors designed to generate electricity and nothing else, so Iran bought their system from Russia and Pakistan and they are eminently suited for military use.

Unintended consequences.

I can’t swear to it in court, but I’m pretty sure I saw a trailer on CNN while eating lunch that said Venezuela was looking into the possibility (or at least claimed to be) of selling its U.S.-made fighters to Iran or some other country after the Shrubbery banned further sales to Caracas.
