Because the US sells weapons to other countries, militias, whatever.. either they became IS or IS captured them

These guys are obamas secret army.

That's sort of what happens when the USA is among the top arms dealers in the world and when old soviet surplus is no longer buy 1 get 2 free

Maybe they raided a US base and stole it. Maybe the company sold weapons to them.

Becuase the US supports ISIS

because guns traffic is a good biz

Gun manufacturers sell to everybody, it's a win win for them. Also, how could you have some good ol' fashioned warfare if the enemy isn't armed. It'd be over too quick and few would die.

cause they're either brits or even americans !

Going back a way, there was a punk band in England called the Angelic Upstarts. They had a song called "Last night, another soldier", which had a spoken intro. This included the lines "It was a foreigner's hand that held the gun, but the bullet that killed him was an English one".

Arms dealers have no scruples; that's why they're arms dealers.

this , the US is the worlds largest weapons exporter. Weapons are probably one of the few US manufactured products people still want.

because DAESH was created by, is funded by, and continues to be supplied by the US.

>quads but you're wrong?

Ask where they (ISIS) get their other equipment from, they steal it (mostly).

It's that cut and dry.

Oh my sweet summer child . . .

>trips now

You care to explain?

Because very early on, before the Syrian civil war started, ISIS operated in Iraq. they attacked and captured many Iraqi munitions depots which were armed by the US with a wide array of weapons, including several types of APCs, Humvees, TOW missiles, M2 Browning, M249, M240,Mk 14,M4.

This was where the bulk of high-grade military munitions came from when ISIS started.

You believe that they come about these weapons from stealing. You probably can't imagine that your government would fund and supply "the enemy". Your naivete is touching. Sweet and innocent like a child's.

>believing the official US government lies

>dubs. are you rigging this?

You do know that Iraq operates a lot of US made hardware, right?

Even if what you say is true, why does ISIS use Soviet stuff? This makes no sense.

Pretty sure nato issues M4A1s and not M16A2s (or AR15A2s), which is what OP shows them armed with.

We sold them tons in the 70's to repel the Russians.

From what I've read, ISIS captured both M4 and M16 from those depots.

>why does ISIS use Soviet stuff
Guns make whitey less dead if they come from the old bloc?

They either took them from Iraq or we sent it to them while they were fighting someone we didn't like.

what did he mean by this?

Maybe. I'll admit that I'm not sure. Every photo I have seen of US forces in the middle east in the last decade has been with troops equipped with M4s only, which is not to say the US still has plenty of M16s still in reserve or for sharpshooters

Also doesn't take away that we sell plenty of weapons, especially anything long past bleeding edge, like AR rifles.

captured in Mosul

Because isis could buy a full crate of AK74s for the price of a single M16?

M16s are relatively widespread and easy to use.

More importantly, why do they have Russian T 72s and are able to operate them perfectly? Why so many modern Soviet/Yugo weapons like RBG-6s?

That trigger discipline. Some soldiers they are.

1 and 1? Count with fingers ...

I thought your narrative was that they were being aided?

"Lord of war" was a decent movie, OP.
Try watching it sometime.

Why do they have meticulously trimmed beards?

Not to mention why do they look like they're the usual euro/asian/middle eastern:
"Hey, 5'4" is totally average, we're not short, SHUT UP!!!"
height...?

because the only thing that they ever produced were poppies

I'm sure they are. Conflict = $$$ so maintaining conflict is business. And of course it's certain that much is stolen since that's just the way war works with large armies being shit at keeping their arsenal from undesirable hands.

been having them. Obama.

because the USA didn't want to give them AK's, it's a brand thing

It was actually pretty bad. Spoiler alert Nicholas cage gets aids.

M16A2 there, made between 1982 and stopped being common military issue by the end of the cold war. They might have well been Iraqi military stock predating the Iraq War of 1991 and looted after Saddam fell. Turkey is a NATO member and would have access to these (don't know if they use them or something built domestically) and they buy oil from ISIS and sell them arms. Israel still issues the A2 and they supposedly supported ISIS early on. A US weapons drop to the FSA or the YPG was intercepted by ISIS years ago, could be from there. That they're using M16s doesn't prove that the US supplies them anymore than the AK in every sandniggers hands proves that Russia is supplying them.

Where is this from? Documentary?

>the AK in every sandniggers hands proves that Russia is supplying them

Lot of other countries other than Russian who produce(d) AK pattern rifles. In fact most of the AKs you see in the hands of sandniggers might actually be norinco type 56 rifles from China and not izhmash or tula rifles from Russia

They do. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
