What countries weapons have killed the most American soldiers,

Marines and Airman? Answer, Russian. The republicans good buddies. And trumps boyfriend.
AK-47 rifles, B-40 rockets, Hand grenades, machine guns, mortars, artillery, jet fighters and bombers, you name it Russia has provided it to kill American fighting men since Vietnam.
Killing our fighting men and helping republicans divide our country.
I know who my friends are and it's not either of them.

the AK-47 even before the Korean War.

So the design is Soviet... but China actually made them... and probably still does.

Believe the AK-47 was accepted for service in the Soviet Army until 1949. What the Chinese Army and the North Korean Army were equipped with was the PPSh-41 (aka the burp gun). The Soviets made millions of them and gave plenty to the Chinese. The Chinese also began manufacturing the PPSh. These weapons would have been considered obsolete by the Soviets once the adopted the AK-47.

and Americans are clearly not as worried about that as Europe and their other neighbors.

Russian involvement in the Middle East is more than having a warm water port, they want to advertise and sell their weapons to whoever is buying.

Otherwise how can their navy operate in a warm-water port?

but still have to go through Turkey to access the Mediterranean. Tartus in Syria doesn't have that problem.

A better question: what country’s weapons have killed more Americans since Vietnam?

We’re a much bigger threat to ourselves than Russia ever has been or ever will be.

Trump and the pukes will never convince me, no matter how hard they try to make it look normal or O K to be Putins Pal.
