We saw it in the 90s and in that point of time it didn't make the region any safer. You could buy any soviet weapon everywhere. I think one of the reasons that US, UK and France were happy that Ukraine gave back their nuclear arsenal to Russia was exactly to avoid it being sold in the black market to some third country in the middle east.
