Or that one time they sold a fully armed Mig-23 to a couple US business men, who flew it into the US, not realizing they were breaking God knows how many laws...

True, but being fully armed did raise the ire of (then) the Treasury Department (ATF)...If they got fighter jet money, then the laws probably don't apply to them. There is a red air company in Quincy, Illinois that flew Migs and SU-37's and some other jets.

True story: took the family to the Air Force Museum at Wright Pat a number of years ago. My wife’s cousin was a Captain serving with what is now NASIC at the time. After we spent a couple of days touring the museum he took us on a driving tour of the base. We were cruising down the tarmac in his family mini van, we turn a corner and run straight to a MIG 29, with another one in pieces-parts spread all over the pavement. “Oh... Yeah... we bought 12 of those from a Russian General looking to make a quick buck...” Me, eyes as big as saucers: “Can we stop and take a look...?” That was a big no... something about pavement, face down, and M16s...
The going rate c. 1990 in East Berlin was: 1 Fully-operational T-80 Tank was worth a new S-Class Mercedes. A Makarov was, at one point, a pair of Levi's. With everything in between. It got to the point where they couldn't give tanks away.... USSR stopped sending supplies and food at one point. Only way some Sov. commanders (who were still sitting with their troops awaiting 'movement home' orders) could feed their troops was bartering and selling off anything not nailed down.
That's because this was pre-9/11, and .gov didn't want the public to know about the serious gaps in our homeland security. Things have change radically since then...
Misinformation and misdirection are powerful tools...Gotta be careful when Russia Today is the source.

I shall be the photographer's assistant.
That must be why Sweden is having all the grenade attacks in Malmo. Old Eastern Block shit.
Well, they were right on the iron curtain weren't they? The old "Non Sufficient Funds" line ("NSF": Norway, Sweden, Finland), with Finland heavily compromised by Soviet agents and informants...
Most of that stuff is middle-eastern (egyptian and Iranian and Former Iraq) and coming in through Turkey with tens of thousands of refugees.
