How do you know a country isn't run by corrupt people all the way through? They exhibit transparency, when a mistake is made, they can admit it, talk about the details and even try to address the problem.

Better audit than DoD at least.
I'm still going to shoot you a youtube video about how western media is structured (i don't really watch youtube but sending ppl online books is a bit much) don't worry but in the meantime TBT
remember the CNN documentary they pulled interviewing that guy saying 30%+ of the weapons go missing
then later he got drunk in an interview and started talking abt them torturing people and shit lmao
The article mentions that all the crew died in the crash, and is there any evidence that the shipment was secretly headed to Ukraine instead of Jordan?
As far as interview and torture, I'm not sure which party are you talking about, since the crew is dead.
My bad I'm like referring to 3 events
So first of all Jordan is an international arms trading hub and this plane was carrying arms that were from Ukraine, so presumably they were going to sell some. This is how we get the [article about how Stingers and Javelins end up all across the globe tktktk]
The CNN documentary features a mercenary who said the country was a black hole of arms trading, I will link it one sec, and then later that same guy was talking about them committing war crimes, using civilian vehicles, not treating POWs properly etc
At $40m I wonder if this makes them the most unsuccessful of the people currently stealing that money.
They always do this prior to launching an attack on civilian infrastructure in Russia.
