[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 days ago (3 children) A C-17 Globemaster is a huge transport aircraft, you don't use that to simply transport a single person. This was used to move something to or from Russia. Looking at the current situation in Russia, I would not be surprised to learn that it was used to move some of Putin's assets abroad for safekeeping. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] testaccount372920@piefed.zip 16 points 4 days ago (1 child) You are technically correct, they did transport more than one person. They brought their own convoy of armored cars and whatever else they need to feel safe. From the plane's cargo measurements on Wikipedia I would estimate that it can carry ~10 cars if you want to be able to just drive in and out of it. Even though they probably would have had some spare space to move additional things, it doesn't make sense to me to be super suspicious of the size of the plane. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago Ah, that would indeed explain it! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mihies@programming.dev 6 points 4 days ago Epstein files on Orange permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 child) or moving all those election machines to russia and then back to some states with it, which tulsi was in some states. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago No no, they moved the proposed changes to the epstein files for putin to rubberstamp and keep safe. permalink fedilink source parent
