Strange coincidence that the "new Russian sanctions" are being leveled to coincide with The Twit Offensive (Bloomberg-funded hit pieces), especially considering the dearth of tough-talk about the non-gun-related Ukraine affair.
So for now, Izhmash is now persona non grata. As is SIG, but from the opposite perspective (our government being shady). The ban on the Ruskies is indefinite.
Things to remember in 2016; "Will you reopen trade with Russia/China as far as sporting arms?"
Congrats, Saiganeers, you now own valuable Norinco's... Anybody know if Baikal is effected?
