The guy on the left was a US Marine Lt. Colonel who was arrested and convicted for selling missiles to Iran.

@pcambra @draken There it is.

[barbramon1@mas.to]

@draken The criminal bastard got away with it, and he has the brass to try to lecture us now.

[renardboy@mastodon.social]

@draken well that's why they shouldn't have missiles, so he can sell them at a higher cost duh

[drangnon@hachyderm.io]

@draken treasonous sonofabitch I hate that guy

[csolisr@hub.azkware.net]

Dealer gets scammed, snitches on the scammer, a story as old as war

[lcruggeri@mastodon.uno]

@draken its the same as Netanyahu financing Hamas for years, only to get them against time after. Like, create your menace

@earwigplanet @pcambra
Oversimplified, but it gets the basics.

@draken strong bill hicks "we looked at the receipt" vibes...

[tezoatlipoca@mas.to]

@purrperl @draken If I recall, the missiles to Iran were part of a shell game to hide money funneled to the contras in Nicaragua =s part of a CIA regime change no?
So he did the thing at the behest of the Reagan admin really..

[tezoatlipoca@mas.to]

@purrperl @draken I'm hazy, I was 12 at the time.

[uep@timeloop.cafe]

@draken well, sure, see if Iran didn't have missiles now, they might come to him to buy more.

[axiomatically@mastodon.social]

@draken don’t forget about the cocaine trafficking into the United States to supply the Nicaraguan Contras.

[axiomatically@mastodon.social]

@tezoatlipoca @purrperl @draken correct

[draken@masto.nyc]

@Axiomatically
DARE to keep the CIA off drugs

[kamellatate@mastodon.social]

@uncleslacky @thomas_klopf @draken
lordy did not know that

[kwyxz@mastodon.social]

@draken cannot blame them for not finding an expert on the topic for once

[draken@masto.nyc]

@kwyxz
Except they never look for the experts.
