Doing some research, and everything says that Victor Bout made his fortune stealing $32 billion in arms from Ukraine. And he is being released at the same time the exact same country has been flooded with billions of dollars worth of western arms and ammunition.
Seems to me like this deal might be even more sinister than it appears on the surface. Figured I’d share as we know the weapons aren’t all going where they are supposed to, we know international support is being laundered, and the FTX scandal showed the money being laundered back to support the very US politicians who voted to send the aide.
This blew my mind a bit. It makes so much more sense. Seems like part of the movie, really. If Joe Biden and the democrats can be tied to this lord of War guy, it's a massive red pill for a lot of the normies who haven't yet realized that our government is corrupt as fuck. The got back woke basketball girl and released the guy they need to help them move weapons around the world for all of their proxy wars. Win-win.
