Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old man who was arrested on Sunday in connection with what the F.B.I. described as an attempted assassination on former President Donald J. Trump, had expressed the desire to fight and die in Ukraine.
Mr. Routh’s posts on the social media site X revealed a penchant for violent rhetoric in the weeks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. “I AM WILLING TO FLY TO KRAKOW AND GO TO THE BORDER OF UKRAINE TO VOLUNTEER AND FIGHT AND DIE,” he wrote.
On the messaging application Signal, Mr. Routh wrote that “Civilians must change this war and prevent future wars” as part of his profile bio. On WhatsApp, his bio read, “Each one of us must do our part daily in the smallest steps help support human rights, freedom and democracy; we each must help the chinese.”
Mr. Routh, a former roofing contractor from Greensboro, N.C., was interviewed by The New York Times in 2023 for an article about Americans volunteering to aid the war effort in Ukraine. Mr. Routh, who had no military experience, said he had traveled to the country after Russia’s invasion and wanted to recruit Afghan soldiers to fight there.
There is serious speculation that this guy is CIA.

Well if he was CIA that would explain why he was not already serving time for some of the crap he has pulled.
2002 unlicensed carry of a concealed weapon, hit and run and resisting arrest. Police stand off for three hours he had a fully automatic machine gun just to name a few things about the idiot. Felony for stolen goods etc

How do many criminals in the USA get guns?
As far as I can tell its not very hard to do.
I've never hidden the fact that I don't like Trump - I don't like Biden or Harris as well but that's a different subject - but how on earth is it that just so quickly after one attempt on his life happened another potential assassin could get so close to killing him?
There obviously could be some sort of conspiratorial angle here.....but there's without a doubt some competency questions that need asking.

Just a guess.
He was another deranged leftist.

I'll never understand why such a lose canon wasn't on the terrorist watch list. I want a refund of my tax dollars from ALL of the government security brances that continually fail to do their job at keeping people safe.
It's not like this nutter hid from these agencies on the dark web.
