Are you speaking in terms of the Russians helping Iraq move stuff to Syria?

Iraq spent lots of money on Russian tech. The cash poor Russians are willing to sell them anything. I think much of the equipment being used was Russian and that in the light of sanctions against Iraq the Russians could not afford the international and diplomatic black eye of the Iraqis getting caught with it.

In looking at the oil for food program where money earmarked for humanitarian purposes was spent on French and Russian munitions, I don't find it my scenario hard to believe at all.

Much easier to believe than the US government orchestrating 9/11.
