Ben Swann, a self-described independent journalist who promotes conspiracy theories, owns a company that’s been paid millions of dollars in recent years by Russian state media.

Among those who promoted the series was Donald Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest son.

“Curious about the billions of dollars and weapons Congress sent Ukraine?” Trump Jr. posted on X, Truth Social and Threads. “You need to watch the first episode of the explosive 12-part series.”

    I feel like a conspiracy theorist since I believe Donald is a Russian asset. And yet, here’s this.

      The conspiracy part is that he’s owned by Russia.

      But while i believe in this specific conspiracy, if we put all speculation aside, trump has said repeatedly that he loves talking to Putin and Kim. We don’t need a conspiracy to conclude hes on Russia’s side, just to determine the power balance there.

      My take is that conspiracies happen, but I’m not smart enough to pick them out. If there’s legit evidence (the real trouble is deciding what that means), though, I can believe it.
