But I don't see the issue with that or the topic at hand.

You're right that it's not on the original topic but it was brought up and I felt like responding.
As far as him giving all his allies weapons there is a big difference. The build up necessary to equip and train them was considerably more than what was given to his other allies. There was clear intent that they would be used to take over the South and the Chinese were built up similarly in case the US decided to enter the fray. There is no doubt now of intention on any of the sides only serious flaws in consideration of defense/offense in the initial attack and defense plans.
