Not to say that they wouldn't do that. Just saying there's no recent history of that happening that I can remember at least.

She was allegedly caught with drugs just as the USA was pleding support to the Ukrainian army support. Timing seems on point.
Too be clear Britt grinder is trash as she beat up her wife previously but her arrest was right after the USA gave weapons.
