If you’re spending billions on weapons I doubt you didn’t make sure they go to the right person.

Even with a perfect screening process for the initial deliveries it's really easy for weapons to end up in unintended hands just as positions/territory are taken and lost by the various sides.
> really easy

meaning more than 50% of weapons?

If the chosen groups are crushed or loses a lot of territory yeah pretty easily.
at that point, they should have stopped sending anything (or probably much earlier)
