Rudaw: Lavrov: Russia sending arms to KRG via Baghdad
UNITED NATIONS - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday his country has been coordinating with the Kurdish forces battling Islamic State militants in Iraq and has been sending arms to them through the central government in Baghdad.
Lavrov said a joint information center has been set up in Baghdad for cooperation between regional countries taking part in the war against ISIS, as the Islamic State is known.
“Military representatives from Iraq, Iran, Syria and Russia and the Kurdish government are with this information center which we established in Baghdad,” Lavrov told Rudaw at a press conference at the United Nations.
WNU Editor: The Kurds have been waiting forever to receive weapons and arms from the U.S. .... but with Russia now becoming involved the old rules and policies that the U.S. has been operating under have just been thrown out the window. This also explains why the Iraqi Kurdish leader is now strongly urging Russia and the U.S. to coordinate their anti-IS fight .... Iraqi Kurdish leader urges Russia, U.S. to coordinate in anti-IS fight (Reuters) .... because of this military assistance he now sees Russia as an ally.

Well that's it. American policy in the area is now dead. It's Russia's and Putin's ball game now. What the future holds for them time will tell, but the policy of this US Administration is now publicly held up for all to see for the pretense.....it always was.
I am glad the Kurds are getting help.
Putin is not feckless like Obama.
A Russian passport it appears will be more valued than an American one.
A Russian passport was always a very handy thing to have. Well, maybe not so much in the 90s, but now, it's definitely one of the benefits of being a citizen of an assertive country (and there better be some).
