Tucker Carlson has raised serious concerns about the integrity of U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine, warning that up to 50 percent of the weapons sent to aid the country’s defense are being resold on the black market. His findings ,which challenges the oversight of U.S. military aid, highlights fears that American-made weapons could end up in the wrong hands, further complicating an already volatile situation. Carlson’s revelation has sparked debate over the effectiveness and accountability of U.S. support for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
During a recent episode on the Tucker Carlson show with retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel and Iraq and Afghanistan veteran Daniel Davis, the former Fox News host warned that U.S. weapons that Washington, D.C. has provided to Kiev as military aid in its conflict with Russia could end up in the hands of America’s “actual enemies,” such as terrorists and Mexican drug cartels on the U.S. border.
Carlson pointed out that not only does this situation waste billions in U.S. tax dollars, it puts the United States’ national security at risk.
“This is a crime, what’s happening. Our intel agencies are fully aware of this,” Carlson said, claiming that the United State’s intel agencies and the CIA are profiting off the situation.
Moscow has echoed Tucker Carlson’s concerns, asserting that the unchecked flow of Western weapons to Ukraine has resulted in a significant number of these weapons ending up in the hands of organized criminal groups and extremists around the globe.
