If Trump goes along this bullshit he's completely betraying the people who voted for him. This is completely unacceptable.
>While the bill providescertain restrictionsfor transferringthe controversial weapons, known as MANPADS or Man Portable Air Defense Systems, it represents a significant shift from prior iterations of the legislation. The missile-related language, firstreportedby Al-Monitor, also contradictsinternational guidelineschampioned by the United States that imply a de facto ban on transferring the shoulder-fired weapons to nonstate actors.
>It is unclear who in the House or Senate pushed for the MANPADS provision in the bill. The chairman of the SenateArmed Services Committee, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), has long called for delivery of the weapons to help the beleaguered rebelstrying to stave off air attacks by both the Syrian government, and more recently, the Russian air force.
>Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), who voted against the bill, said in an emailed statement that he was“disappointed that the House of Representatives’ explicit prohibition on the transfer of these dangerous weapons into Syria was reversed — behind closed doors — by the conference committee.”
