The article doesn’t have anything to back up the claim. It is nothing more than click bait.

Working as designed. The US government can now just go after groups with those weapons and use the justification of “look, they’re armed and dangerous!!!” to do it. And the cycle of invading and destroying countries for profit continues.

Upcycling!
