To be honest about this guy...just in 2014, he was reported ‘dead’ on five occasions, and none of the occasions were true.
In 2015, there were three reports of him dead. None were true. TASS even reported him captured by US special forces toward the end of the year....that was also not true.
In 2016, there are a minimum of three reports of him dead. None of them were true. Toward the end of 2016, President Obama reported him dead. That was not true.
In 2018, the Turks did say that they had captured his wife and was charging her up with crimes.
The odds of the Ukrainians actually having the guy? If it were him, he’d have a ton of intelligence to be gained, and the US ought to be working up a deal to get their hands on the guy.
See post #2. He is Obama’s guy. Hillary’s foot soldier doing regime change. Not only in Africa and Arabia. The same guys doing the same stuff in Europe proper.
Note - The guy is a former Georgian military himself and trained in Pankisi by USMC in earlier 2000s.
What the US should do is tear down the system that sends USMC trainers to countries full of terrorist scum who once trained are chomping at the bit to murder Christians and their "fellow" Muzlames that are members of a different sect.
As it works now, the last thing anyone in the system wants is the US getting "their hands on the guy". They'd prefer to have him back in the field where they want him killing people and creating anarchy. Failing that, they want him dead.
