    lol that arms dealer guy Viktor Bout is actually pretty cool. Wikipedia says he helped the MPLA a bit, and was caught trying to sell weapons to FARC. I love learning about these guys who had jobs in the Soviet Union still doing their thing. I wonder if the US is getting anything else secretly.

      Viktor Bout

      Yeah I think somebody needs to make some of his life stories into an awesome movie about a KGB officer who made communist revolution his personal mission after the USSR folded.

        Lord of War with Nicholas Cage is allegedly loosely based on him, but probably total anti-communist lib shit. Haven’t seen it in a very long time so I don’t recall
