LOL! So you are proposing that those weapons were given to them by the US and not taken/captured from Iraqi forces that were armed by the US? Is that kinda like when the Taliban used Russian weapons (AK-47's) against Soviet forces? Of course, the Soviets didn't give them those weapons. They were captured. Same with your photo. It happens when nations start meddling in other nations affairs. Face it, everything you can accuse the USA of, Russia has done it too. We are both pots calling the kettles black.
The market for AK-47s is awash with these guns in the 3rd World (especially after China started making they for a fraction of the price of those that come from Mikhail Kalashnikovs gun making enterprise). What the Afgani's were taking from Soviet troops was the modernized AK-74s that were manufactured in the 1970s. These guns have IR night vision scopes and have other advanced features just like guns used by NATO and the USA.
Among those of the same religion, and a few others. No surprise, they have been doing this for 1400 years straight. As the west withdraws from religion these guys become more zealous. Then they export it here
Russia has had enough with the lies of the United States.
Russia has extended her hand of military cooperation in Syria
to the United States but the United States has refused cooperation.
If an accident happens or not, Russia will not be held responsible for any
future lies propagated in the American media.
Russia regards it as unfortunate but unchangeable that the citizens of
the United States cannot control their government and media.
If this ultimatley leads to a situation that Russia must protect itself, then
regrettably, America will be destroyed. Yes, dear American posters, you really
could die horribly if your government and media are not stopped from provoking
Russia and seeking to end her sovereignty.

Russia invaded Afghanistan too. How well did that turn out?
Actually, the Russians were kicking serious ass in Afghanistan up until the Americans sold stinger missiles to the Mujahidin. Great idea, that.
The one thing that the Russians have over NATO in dealing with fanatical nutjobbers such as ISIS is that Putin only cares about winning and not about how Russia may look to the rest of the world. America and its allies won't engage in certain types of warfare that may make them look bad and/or bring about worldwide condemnation for their actions. Russia couldn't care less what anyone thinks as long as their military campaign is successful.
That is the fundamental difference between a country run by a democratically elected leader who care about his image and legacy, and one run by a maniacal ex-KGB thug who cares about nothing but power.

America would be at loathe to pick a fight with Iran at this point in time. Do you honestly think that they would be foolish enough to start a war with a real threat like Russia?

You have been lied to. America and Israel both have used banned weapons and substances.
That is a fact, separate from the fact that you are wrong.
You are sadly mistaken.
Russia can wipe out the entire American Navy in less than a half hour.
It has Tesla technology and superweapons, not to mention earthquake
and tsunami tech and more nuclear warheads than the United States.
There is no legitimate reason to believe that the United States would "win"
a war against Russia.
If you are an American who supports this ridiculous lie, you should realize
that it is a lie that you, personally, will not survive making.

So, when can we expect this "obliteration" you speak of to begin?
