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

@thomas_klopf @draken I just looked up Fawn Hall to see what happened to her - turns out she married Ollie last year! https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/09/politics/oliver-north-fawn-hall-iran-contra-marry

@draken This asshole used the earnings made with the Iran deal to fund the Contras in Nicaragua.

[elronxenu@mastodon.cloud]

@draken Can't sell Iran missiles if they already have them amirite?

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@draken This traitor has been a hero to Republicans everywhere for almost as long as I was remotely aware of the world. Got to watch it happen on live TV.

Same sad puppy dog eyes, I see.

@softspeak @draken They were pretty fucking nuts. Had a president liked to joke around that he'd launched the nukes. Constantly starting shit with Libia and trying to with USSR.

I used to dream all the time that I was dying in nuclear fire with the adults around me sayng shit like, "Oh well, guess it's time to kiss our asses goodbye," and then starting to do so as the world went orange and heated up.

We've all seen the American Dad clip, and I've seen the Ollie North Coloring Book.

@uncleslacky @thomas_klopf

We all saw the American Dad clip, and I saw the Ollie North Coloring Book back in grade school.

@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

[draken@masto.nyc]

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

[patrick_h_lauke@mastodon.social]

@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..
