ISIS Being Re-Supplied From Outside

Reports are emerging that ISIS is getting air drops of weapons and ammunition from unknown sources. Among the suspects are Saudis and the Qataris (of course) but also the US. IMO, it's likely that whoever's doing it is not a "state actor" in any official sense.

It may be one of the seeming millions of seemingly infinitely rich oil sheiks doing it out of a desire to wipe the Shia off the face of the earth but it also could be being done for purely mercenary interests. The latter possibility leaves open the possibility that some MIC type person from anywhere could be behind this.

ISIS has lots of money, both from the sale of oil on the black market and from anonymous benefactors in the Middle East so they can buy what they need. All that's needed is someone willing and able to sell it to them.

A seemingly insoluble mess just got a hell of a lot messier.
