During WW2 the Remington company was selling ammunition to the U.S. and also the German Nazis.

The Remington family has generational wealth today from selling bullets to kill U.S. soldiers. The Bush family, who had 2 people as presidents, are also married into the Remington family.

I honestly find it unconscionable that any company would do trade with Russia or it proxies. "Oh yeah, it's bad that Russia is killing all those civillians with our components, but you can't expect us to drop our trade "partners", can you?"

I mean it isn't like some guy shows up and says their Russian and looking to buy missile parts. They do it through intermediaries. While it's possible to trace parts back through the supply chain it's not super simple when a micro chip can be used for many different applications.

Such a clear example of how in the "eyes of the powers that be" Ukraine was never supposed to win this war.
