A 48-year-old employee of the Ministry of Defense from Arnhem has been arrested on suspicion of circumventing sanctions against Russia. He is suspected of sending aircraft parts to Russia through an intermediary. This has been prohibited since sanctions were imposed on Russia following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last February. The man was arrested on Aug. 30, the financial crimes inspectorate, FIOD, reported in a press release.

      Here we had this thing called “Muilutus” where we took commies and had them delivered to the border with the USSR, telling them to go enjoy the fruits of communism. Shame the process looked down upon now.

          Huh? Right-winged fascists have never been interested in free speech. Neither have left-winged fascists, that’s why it’s so fun when they duke it out amongst each other.

            So the right wing fascist (redundant, because all fascists are right wing) admits to being a fascist

    People in the airplane industry were already wondering where Russia gets all of the replacement parts from.
