No other explanation makes sense.

There's a hilarious documentary about 3 guys who schemed to get a Russian sub and sell it to a S. America druglord.
Seriously funny tale of mental midgets with a get rich dream.I
Got it on Netflix streaming couple years ago.

Thanks for the heads up

Great line from that trailer:

Playboy: I distinctly remember arriving in Moscow and thinking .. Everything is for Sale!


No wonder Trump became a favorite of the Russians.

who sell the Pentagon 100,000,000 AK cartridges.

Jonah Hill plays the mastermind of the operation.

Called War Dogs. Not saying it's brilliant, but worth a watch if you're lookin' for something. If nothing else, interesting for the historical value.
