Is it possible that US weapons end up in Russian control?

[Antiwar]

Uncle Sam has sent a lot of weapons to Ukraine. Is anything preventing Russia from using those weapons, if they obtain them?

You posted this in the wrong forum. Here, let me point you in the right direction:

Conspiracy Theories

Secret plots, UFO's, area 51, alternative histories, media paranoia, 911 truthers, assassinations and X-Files.

No. Why would anything stop them?

The issue is that they wouldn’t have the training to use them or the replacement parts for them.

I am more concerned with the 80 billion dollars worth of US weapons Dementia Joe gifted to the Taliban in that hasty pull out.

The Russian military isn't competent enough for this to be a significant worry.

High end weapons & electronics have secret codes required to use them.

It was the Afghan military’s equipment. The majority of it simple trucks and small arms. The stuff like helicopters are going to be grounded due to lack of maintenance and spare parts.

Not any of the stuff we’ve sent Ukraine. It doesn’t take a special code to operate a Javelin or a HIMARs.

I would like to appreciate your mental-gymnastics with how do you view the fact that the Republican and Democrat parties both have third-party federal organizations trafficking drugs into the US and they blame it on Mehicans?

Head in sand? Good, good, I guess Biden isn't Mexican Drug Cartel's best friend.

Well, they are certainly profiting from his refusal to enforce our southern borders.

Between arms captured during military conflicts and the illegal arms dealers it is almost a given that a portion of the arms supplied by the US and other NATO countries will fall into others hands.
But then the same can be said for Russian arms.

More likely that the Saudi's on a path to manufacture some of our most technically advanced military hardware in country thanks to Fat Donnie and the gang will use that IP to play more hooch-coochie-coo with the Russians. Sen Blumenthal of Connecticut who I have not thought much of till lately is trying to put the breaks on with a pause of at least one year to allow the Saudi's to reconsider the STUUPIDITY of cutting oil production at this time.

Frankly, I would prefer to take the hit for the Saudi oil production stupidity and crush their plans to manufacture our military hardware in country. Should have kept the Saudi's under our thumbs instead of letting them think they know something more than how to drive a camel.

"Riyadh’s plan to manufacture significant parts of these sensitive systems domestically using transferred U.S. technology should be deeply concerning."

And I am not the only one that thinks so.

Yes, I can detect your worry, it is palpable.

Most of it would have been sabotaged if it was something important.

Jingoism.

Do you have any verifiable reporting that this ^ has happened?

No. You aren't. And it was Trump that decided initially to pull out.

You’ve been consuming too much right wing propaganda.

The United States spent a grand total of $88B over the last two decades in Afghanistan, making it literally impossible for your claim to be anywhere near accurate.

Not really. He is wrong but it isn't jingoism.

None of it was really important.

It is, in my opinion, belligerent nationalism, ie, jingoistic.
Especially in the context that it is being expressed by a Trumpist/Qanon.

Why? Do you think the Taliban were lacking for trucks and small arms before?
