Enjoyed your video on Bout, but the facts were not quite straight. He was shipping armaments to the Taliban who were siding with the CIA at the time. He also was shipping arms to Colombian guerilla’s (FARC). I could find no basis for U.S. involved with Iran since 1978 when the Shah was over thrown.
My law partner's brother is chief of the guards at Marion Federal Corrections in Illinois. He directly oversaw Viktor's detention on a daily basis. Said the guy would complain about something constantly. Said he was segregated most of the time and spent his time drawing and writing, but never really had a problem with the guy. He was the one who led Viktor out of the prison handing him over to the Feds for deportation. if those drawings were done there, he had to authorize their release along with Viktor.
The Putin dictator regime banned her. I fear for her safety now. Putin is the predetermined winner. Decent Russians shouldn't vote at all! By participating in the farce in any way they give legitimacy to Putin.
Ivan, you did what the gallery owner did. You used the guy to get views/ make money. Nothing more important than money eh? That guy is an indirect killer. He supplied ogranizations on the terrorist list with weapons so they could kill people. He should not have been given a platform and people of good concience should have boycotted and picketed his show. You talk about wanting people to get along and live in peace. This guy would sell weapons to people who would kill you and Evelina and not think twice. But hey, this is what passes for normal in Putin's Russia.
@@user-ep1hz5uk9m Ivan didn't have anything to do with Ukrainians getting killed, but the whole society bears responsibility, and each individual some. The problem is, millions would have to stick their necks out at the same time, and currently, Putin has things under enough control that that cannot happen.
@@annad3425 They don't know all that is going on, Putin has passed laws controlling protest, and if they do, they face harsh jail terms. Russia is not a democracy, which is very evident. If I lived there, I wouldn't protest because the downside is very bad, and the upside is unlikely. Maslow's hierarchy of needs predicts human behavior and people will do anything for personal stability/comfort before they will act for a political aspiration.
ivan is a soviet psyOP like the trollfactories of new delhi and st.petersburg. And vasya in the hay. Conveyers of false narratives and constructed stories about charity or some ivan we can connect to. Norway here, this isnt the first time NewSoviet tried to change the image of themselves thru actors like ivan or vasya.
This was so interesting Ivan! It was like a documentary on the history Channel. Well done! When I saw you literally just a few feet away from Viktor Bout...my first thought was Holy Macaroni! 😂 Enjoyed watching...very interesting for sure! ❤❤❤😊
@@craiggallup5706 taking donation money and giving it to a well known terrorist is crazy for a singed picture. This guy is a fraud has money and pretends to be broke to grift off Western society. People who donate should be held accountable by their government.
This is not your thing man! This is a bad guy, talking about political issues like Ukraine war which is disgraceful ful for Russia. You are a good guy, not getting into politics and we like you. My advise, stay clear of this sort of issues.
Maybe good for clicks. Could be the growth plan for the channel is attracting pro Putin westerners. The kind that is against helping Ukraine, pro white nationalist, wants a trump dictatorship, hates gays, etc.
Ivan my friend, I know you have appreciated some of my comments in the past which makes me very happy. This time I wanted to ask you for your advice. I know you are forced to work on a budget and I wanted to ask what kind of camera you would recommend for someone who is just starting out?
Wow , great video !!! Amazing really, the merchant of death walking around the art gallery, looking like an average dad , crazy!!! That's how these people look, not like James Bond or something like that, that's for movies!!!!
Good blog Ivan. Anything that is relevant to todays situation is always very interesting and of course anything historical. Thanks for continuing to entertain and inform your followers. Peace
Merch!!! Yah!!! Wow! Who would have thought that a vlogger would have found Mr. Bout, let alone OUR vlogger, Sanctioned Ivan. Hey! I see you went over 21.5 thousand subscribers, that is awesome. I can't wait to buy some of that merch. Как всегда, большое вам спасибо за потрясающее видео. (As always, thank you very much for the awesome video).
TERRIFIC HISTORY LESSON, GREAT VLOG IVAN!! Merchant of Death has WAY BETTER art than Hunter Biden. // Sorry to hear of Evalina's illness, and I know she not well earlier in the year also. We must all drink to Evalina's good health in 2024 at New Year's!!!
Some of you may be young on here, but the 1st Ayatollah of Iran, the third Ayatollah in power now and all three have different names after Ayatollah, the 1st took U.S. hostages in 1978. Search the movie ARGO, it tells the truth even though U.S. gov wanted to take complete credit credit for their release in which they barely made it out. A movie producer and director with a team of people from other countries in the movies here was allowed in Iran to make a movie even though hostages from U.S. was held. Very interesting movie on the truth of how the CIA really got them out of Iran. Iran has hated our cleverness since and all other enemy countries. I sat in government class my last year of high school watching DVD's our teacher made us watch DVD's he made of the news on the subject after days of recording and this was in 1980 and 1981. So Ivan knows some of his history since he researches. Yes lots of international bullshit happens between countries and they don't announce it all to the media til way after the fact. Brittany deal was a big deal.
crazy encounter, someone can argue that getting killed by a automatic weapon less terrible than hachet and machete. His reputation mostly worked out by CIA I think. They do similar or even worst lol
If you gave up the daily vlog for mu stuff like this. I think you'd have better content. This is a really interesting perspective to see and what a wild person to be able to meet. Nice video.
I can imagine you traveling around the world meeting and interviewing notorious people from all walks of life. Go meet Charlie Bronson. Is that Beast of a Greek wrestler from Russia still alive go meet him??
Ivan we in the USA also have our own "Merchant of Death". But in this country we are not allowed to say her name or we could be placed on her list just for talking about it. On January 1 2024, by law, a previously secret list of visitors to "Lolita Island" will be published. Many expect that morticians will be busy as the names are published. Many believe that our own female "Merchant of Death" will be back in action.
Most Americans including a former President know her name. This may be one reason for the former POTUS to claim three goals in the 2020 Presidential election: 1) lock HER up! 2) Drain the Swamp and 3 ) Build the wall. If you want to continue enjoying life , one can NEVER say HER name. Why? It is Always "All about HER". i0.wp.com/i.redd.it/m7euhoc1wu8z.jpg?w=696&ssl=1
