      Mexican police went to America to be trained by their military. When police were sent back, they abandoned the government and became one of the most vicious and capable cartels on the planet.

      I’m aware. And I think that’s a US cultural thing not neoliberal. Most of Europe wouldn’t contribute to the weapon issue if they were next to Mexico.

      But on the main topic, sure there is some crazy footage but he still is using a padded stick.

        All NATO weapons sent to Ukraine are 100% accounted for and would never end up in the hands of criminals (the fascist Ukrainian state excluded). Nope, nothing to see here. Just peaceful Europe.

          Big yikes. Russia is a facist, terror state and no amount of finger pointing and projection will change that.

          You have literally 0 evidence for that claim. And to send weapons to Europe then back to Mexico would be a lot of work.

          Much more likely its regular old US military corruption or weapon manufacturer corruption along with smuggling on the border.

            I didn’t say anything about Russia. Don’t change the subject.

            A report released in January by the Pentagon Inspector General’s office found that the Defense Department failed to conduct proper end-use oversight on more than $1 billion worth of military equipment — nearly forty thousand weapons — sent to Ukraine.

            It may be the USA sending the weapons, but its with the backing of Ukraine’s EU neighbors, part of NATO, who completely support them.
