What sale was registered?? How is that done Christmas?

What was registered was that there was some bloke who thought that he might have a chance of selling something that required an export licence, he applied for and was granted that licence, the fact that he was granted and issued with that licence was the thing that was registered, not the sale associated with it. - Find it rather hard to work out just how you seem to be having such trouble grasping that - it is after all rather plainly stated in all these articles you keep wittering on about.

As for "The British Government sold weapons to Assad" - That is a lie - they didn't.

On Ukraine? Does this sound a bit "deja vu-ish":

1938:
"Immediately after the Anschluss of Austria into the Third Reich in March 1938, Hitler made himself the advocate of ethnic Germans living in Czechoslovakia, triggering the "Sudeten Crisis". The following month, Sudeten Nazis, led by Konrad Henlein, agitated for autonomy."

2014:
"Immediately after the annexation of Crimea into the Russian Federation in March 2014, Putin made himself the advocate of ethnic Russian living in Ukraine, triggering the current crisis in Eastern Ukraine. The following month, pro-Russian and anti-government groups agitated for autonomy."

The current ceasefire is only temporary, the continued fighting at Debaltseve after the agreed ceasefire deadline was, as Putin himself admitted, quite predictable - They needed to capture that city as it is an extremely important transport hub linking the two eastern provinces of Ukraine that Putin has his eyes on. Now having taken that important city the movement and attention shifts to the South and the city of Mariupol, where the Russian Army, sorry Pro-Russian East-Ukrainian Freedom Fighters, are next tasked with fighting their way South-West along the Northern shore of the Sea of Azov so that they can link up with the Crimea - Simples

Once they have liberated that territory they would then continue round the coast to press the rights of Russian speakers in Moldova to sign away their country's independence.
