The United States has warned Iraq, among a number of other countries, of the consequences of extending military cooperation with Russia, and striking deals to purchase advanced weaponry, particularly the S-400 surface-to-air missile defense systems. US State Department spokeswoman Heather Neuert said on Thursday that Washington has contacted many countries, including Iraq, to explain the significance of the Countering Americas Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), and possible consequences that would arise in the wake of defense agreements with Moscow. On August 2, 2017, US President Donald Trump signed into law the CAATSA that imposed sanctions on Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Neuert said she did not know whether Iraq and Russia have finalized an accord on the S-400 missile systems. The remarks came only a few days after Saudi Arabias Arabic-language al-Watan newspaper reported that Baghdad is planning to buy Russian-made S-400 surface-to-air missile system from Moscow. There are also reports that Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has tasked a team of advisers from the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and National Security Council to negotiate the purchase of the missile systems with Russian officials. Earlier this month, Chairman of the Defense Committee of the Russian Federation Council, Colonel General Viktor Bondarev, named Syria, Iraq, Sudan and Egypt as the potential buyers of the defense systems. Last week, Chief Executive Officer of Rostec, Russias state-owned corporation for promoting the development, production and export of high-tech industrial products, stated that Moscow is ready to sell its air defense systems to any country with security concerns. Poster Comment: Marc... The S-400 is a defensive system for protecting a country from attack. It has no aggressive capacity. I wonder why the US is so upset about Iraq wanting to defend itself with the S400, especially when it's self defense capacity was completely destroyed by George, Hillary, and Tony Blair's wars which led to half of Iraq being destroyed by foreign EU and US based ISIS Terrorists Stephen Sadd>... EVERY person that believes in Freedom, Peace, Multipolar World, should seriously boycott ALL, and I mean ALL, US products and Services, ALL Israeli fake jews, products and services! These two countries along with their Allies, Australia included have murdered, MURDERED, hundreds of thousands of innocent people, its about time the Eastern Countries get real, STOP buying ANY products from the West, and Sanction them ALL! Aussie GC... Very predictable, slowly the USA is losing its grip and losing its influence as the nations that have suffered under US hegemony see that the Empire is increasingly a paper tiger who is able to destroy their nations but unable to do anything else and is a nation that cannot be trusted anymore. The US has made democracy a dirty word in many parts of the World as many nations now associate this with invasion, destruction, death, financial fraud and rape of resources. The fact that Zionists run the US agenda and foreign policy just makes the USA more hated than ever and is probably just part of the plan by the people who run Washington. Actor... Quite interesting the the USA wants Iraq remain vulnerable to Israel's abuse of power in the Middle East. This is the Stupid international political Bullying no one has ever seen. Iraq will have to define its destination after being abused and cheated over the toppling of Saddam. BUY THESE USEFUL MISSILES AND BE SAFE FROM ISRAEL. Rawson... I was told by someone working in the British arms industry that any weapons sold to Muslim countries have built-in false in it. Remember the First Zionist wars against Jordan the canon bombs fired by the Arab military exploded sand when fired. [Shahram Saran] This shows that Zionist still want a defenseless Iraq until could attack any time that they decide. Iraq is an independent country and could decide what is necessary for security of the country. If a criminal murderer evil attack again Iraq must be able to defense the country and Iraqi people. America must out of Iraq and Syria they were there to help terrorists now terrorists are defeated and they do not need American help Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
