      I remember reading a story about how a Danish shipping company helped the communist DDR export weapons (perhaps including West European weapons) to Apartheid South Africa and bypass international sanctions, likely with the foreknowledge of the CIA given the Brits and French were likely also doing it.

      Ridiculously complex, but for all the rhetoric and bullshit, whether it’s communists, capitalists, democrats, or theocrats, islamists, christian nationalists… but as you say they all worship that dollar.

      Some sources:

    So it sounds like they finished purchase orders that were already pending then found a middleman supplier for what they needed after that.

      This is what I was thinking. It’s a few mill, for a megacorp. I’m not saying they are innocent, and I’m no shill for them, but I could conceivably see them offloading eqpt. That was already ear marked for Russia after the deadline.

      As another commentator points out tho, this is likely the tip of the iceberg

      Customs records being what they are, the real number is probably 100x to 10000x
