Back in I believe mid 2010's John McCain was doing weapons dumping with pictures of him and Linsey Graham and known Isis (Daesh is local name) contacts. The pictures were released on 4chan by I believe their security detail Blackrock.

Remember those "hospitals" that Russia bombed in Syria? Well they also had the C[I]A in them (same as how Hamas operated directly below a I believe a UN building) and the United States couldn't technically bomb their own people. Whoopie, look what Russia did.
