What is the name of the site, and I wonder how I can get them back in the USA?

It remains unclear whether the weapons are being sold by Ukrainians or by Russians who have collected them over the course of the war.

Who could have possibly predicted this?

Huh.

Who could have seen this coming?

Now we’ll get blackmailed again to keep the airlines flying.

How long before a US airliner is shot down over Germany by an Afghan refugee with an American MANPAD purchased from a corrupt Ukrainian corporal?

These are just the party favors.

The real deals are being done with bioweapon materials and research.
(And $40 Billion Aid kickbacks...)
(And dirt on politicians.)

Not at all surprising! Both Ukraine AND Russia score high (or low, depending on your perspective) on Transparency International's '2021 CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX'.

How long ago did we give the mujahedeen stingers to shoot down Russian warplanes? Forty years ago And I heard the same arguments against giving them as well.

How many airliners shot down by terrorists using stringers?

Zero!

Just pretend you're Hunter Biden, and the rest is easy. No hassles by the FBI.

These does not appear to be any register of central accounting for all the weapons and dollars flowing into Ukraine from multiple sources. There is no chain of custody. There is no control. At least none of which I have read and I read everything I can find of this Ukrainian war.

Being an old artillery battalion S-4 back in the early fifties in a foreign land, that gives me the heebie-geebies!!

Right now they are only taking debt cards. I gave them my number and am waiting to hear back.

Stingers weren't laying all over Europe.

“Being sold on via encrypted message app.”

Question is... How would they know this? Obviously encryption is not what it is supposed to be then...

So- it’s going to be a “corrupt Ukrainian corporal”? Not the hundreds of Russians who have posted images all over of captured Western weapons?

By the headline and by a quick reading of a few comments, it appears that the selling is by the Ukraine government; as any good Orc propaganda piece aimed at inflaming US public opinion against Ukraine would do.

Even though the story cannot identify the actual sellers, who may be Russian or Ukraine mafia thugs, the actual culprits are unidentified.

Further, even though the story makes clear that only one or two types of weapons are of American manufacture, drive-bys make it all about American weapons.

It could just as easily be one or the other.

Ukrainians are no more virtuous than Russians. There's really no difference between the two. They are brothers, raised with the same set of beliefs and values. Corruption is just as endemic in Ukraine as it is in Russia.

"Saintly" Ukrainians and evil Russian "orcs" is largely a creation of Western media.
