Very interesting documentary on the conference, where state actors buy the largest bulks of weapons and the latest hardware. |

Indeed. KRG have been doing this for years. Lately, they have given indication that they are doing so with helicopters. You can get a lot of hardware that way, but not all the different kinds needed to defend the border and airspace (and even get a good ADI system and zone). If KRG really wants to get its hands on weapons needed to do that, independence from Iraq is the only way. What KRG can do at the moment (before independence) is to modernize its infantry to match the best of the best (which they can do legally). The KRG have been modernizing the Peshmerga, but in a less-than impressive phase. The reason for the slow phase is the lack of money for purchasing equipment. Peshmerga is and have been way to large for way to long. The cost of keeping such a large force operational is immense and a huge burden on the Peshmerga budget. Even with the cheap equipment and low salary the average Peshmerga soldier gets, the sheer number of Peshmerga makes the cost of keeping them part of the army eat up close to 85% of the defense budget. There is a slow reduction in size of Peshmerga, but party interests have slowed down the progress. When the unification is complete, the number of Peshmerga fighters will have been reduced from 200 000 to 160 000. This should have been done from 2006, not 2012. Once again the rivalry of the Kurdish parties have slowed down the effectiveness of the defense forces. Quality is what a small region like KRG needs to focus on, not quantity. |

1 million? u sure? Anyway, what does 1 million mean. 950,000 shizz in their pants and surrender when they hear a gunshot, just like last time when few hundred of them surrendered to Peshmerga in Kirkuk and it was literally few hundred milki boys who surrendered to a small Peshmerga patrol They're weak, have you seen the Yemen gunfight on LiveLeak? 4 Yemeni Arabs are waiting to kill 1 Arab guy, they fail miserably. His house is surrounded by the 'killers', but he just runs out of the front door in his skirt like the husther he is and literally pwns the 4 other Arab noobs. One of them runs away in his ugly skirt, the other one falls on his ass, the other one starts the car to drive away and only 1 takes cover to fight, but is wounded because the husther they waited for fires back. Funniest thing about all of it; the husther runs away with his back against the 4 other husthers and the friggin noobs don't even shoot at him. one 15 year old Kurd with zero combat experience and a revolver from 1880 would have been enough to kill all 5 of them. They are a bunch of amateur, scared losers. No wonder YPG has killed 4,000 of them in 3 months and Assad ''only'' +/- 45,000 in 3 years time despite his enormous military power; Assadis are Arabs just like the jihadists, so they all fight the same despite their different believes LOL. Without Saladin, everyone in Middle-East would have been Christian by now, Saladin why did you fight for ARABS WHY WHY WHY |

The attitude I get from Vice News is that somehow weapons are immoral because they kill people. I don't understand this as weapons are just tools and have no morality of their own. Its the people that use them for immoral purposes that are accountable. In my opinion the only reason to fight a war is to defend your home and family anything else is unconscionable and depraved. To put it another way its like blaming the vehicle for the murderous intent of the driver bent on killing a group of people at a bus stop. JMO |
