Ukrainian Military Selling ‘Up to Half’ of US Arms It Receives, With CIA Profiting off It, Tucker Carlson Claims

Tucker Carlson said he knows for a fact the Ukrainian military is selling upwards of half of the armaments it receives from the United States.

Carlson made several big claims during an episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show,” including that the CIA is profiting off the sale of arms that are meant to go to Ukraine.

Carlson was speaking with Lt. Col. Daniel Davis, a retired United States Army officer who was awarded a Bronze Star, his second, during the war in Afghanistan. About halfway through their conversation, Carlson stated that Ukraine has been selling U.S. weapons to Mexican cartels.

The host said it was a “fact,” not a “guess,” that the “Ukrainian military is selling a huge percentage, up to half, of the arms” the United States sends it. . .

“They’re selling it, and a lot of it winds up with the drug cartels on our border,” Carlson went on. “So this is a crime, what’s happening. Our intel agencies are fully aware of this. You tell me they’re not profiting from this? Of course, you think [the] CIA is not profiting from this? Yes, they are. I can’t prove that, but I believe that. What, they don’t know this? I know this, but they don’t know this? They know this. And no one is saying it.”
