The Ukrainian military has been reselling a huge number of weapons given to them by the US to Mexican drug cartels. These weapons are then used against the United States and threaten American security, according to journalist Tucker Carlson.
Last week, journalist and broadcaster Tucker Carlson met with retired colonel and foreign policy analyst Daniel Davis to discuss the problem of US-supplied weapons being sold on the black market to Kiev and ending up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels – and what Washington can do to stop it.
– Fact is Ukrainian military is selling a huge percentage, up to half of the arms that we send them. Half. I’m not guessing about this. I know that for a fact, not speculation. They’re selling it. A lot of it is winding up with the drug cartels on our border, Carlson explains.
– This is a crime, what’s happening. Our intel agencies are fully aware of this… We’re sending these arms to Ukraine, hundreds of billions of dollars, and it’s being stolen and sold to our actual enemies, he continues, suggesting that the CIA also makes money from the illegal arms trade.
Daniel Davis also points out that Zelensky has strongly denied that weapons have been systematically misappropriated – and that Western journalists have been content with his word, instead of investigating the matter further.
Tucker Carlson EXPOSES a major scandal:
He claims the Ukrainian military is selling up to half of the weapons funded by U.S. taxpayers to Mexican drug cartels at the U.S. border.
He also reveals that U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, are fully aware of this… pic.twitter.com/GcOBFbswk7

Russian warnings
Nor is this the first time Ukraine has been accused of selling donated weapons to organized crime. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has made similar accusations – and he too argued that Western leaders were most likely fully aware of this.
The Speaker of the Russian Parliament has also warned that arms supplied to Ukraine from the West are being sold on to Middle Eastern conflict zones – and that the West thus bears a great deal of responsibility for the war in Palestine, as Palestinian militant groups are allegedly armed with Western weapons.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has also warned of the risks of supplying NATO weapons to Kiev – pointing out that these will be distributed to criminal networks around the world.
“Killed more than every terrorist organization”
The drug cartels’ reign of terror has long been a major problem for Mexico, but also for the United States. And it’s not just about the flow of drugs across borders – the criminal networks are also involved in kidnappings, human trafficking and systematic killings.
Since the turn of the millennium, hundreds of thousands of people are estimated to have been murdered by the cartels – and tens of thousands more have disappeared without a trace.
When Donald Trump took office, he declared a national emergency on the border with Mexico, promised to terrorize the cartels and deploy the military to fight them.
– These cartels are animals and that’s why President Trump is going to take them off the face of the Earth, announced Trump’s border chief Tom Homan in November, noting that the heavily armed criminal gangs “have killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world“.
