This is the guy that is going to liberate Greenland. Baloney. Junior is probably hoping to take up residence next to Assad.

On May 24, (click here) Donald Trump Jr. was celebrating in the Bahamas, as scantily clad dancers in stilettos and sailor caps performed for him and his guests. It was the last night of his wedding, a lavish, three-day party held across a pair of ultra-exclusive private islands. A five-tier funfetti cake had been airlifted in from Florida, and helicopters and seaplanes descended on the islands before guests settled into their oceanfront villas. That night on the beach, Trump Jr. lifted his bride into the air while fireworks launched from a barge over the sea.
“It was everything we dreamed of and more,” his wife later wrote on Instagram.
That dream was heavily funded by a secret benefactor: Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin....
Kremlev is not his original name. He took the name to sound Russian. Kremlev has been groomed by the Kremlin.
It is all corruption. He is a Putin oligarch. He got that way because of the Kremlin. He was made president of the Russian boxing organization and from there went on to the International Boxing Association. The reason the IOC decertified the IBA is because Kremlev has Gasprom as sponsor.
It is all an attempt to legitimize a Russian at an international level to corrupt the sport and give favor to Russian athletes.
Not only that buy Kremlev controls the gambling establishment in Russia.
...The IOC decertified the IBA (click here) and took control of the boxing competition from the IBA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, just as it had done at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The IOC stated that the IBA had failed to address concerns regarding governance, finance, and corruption.
Since then, Kremlev has emerged as one of the key purveyors of Russian disinformation in international sports.. Kremlev has stirred controversy by claiming, falsely and without evidence, that the female boxer Imane Khelif failed her gender test after she defeated a Russian boxer, and has allegedly referred to IOC president Thomas Bach as a "chief sodomite"...

...At the same time, (click here) boxing has traditionally been associated with the underworld – many Russian mob leaders of the 80-90s came out of this sport. For example, boxing was practiced by Vladimir Kumarin, the leader of the St. Petersburg mafia, associated with Putin and his entourage. Before Murov, the Russian Boxing Federation (FBR) had already been headed by two men with criminal backgrounds – first, the Krasnoyarsk authority Anatoly Bykov, nicknamed “Tolya the Bull,” and Eduard Khusainov, nicknamed “Khusain,” who came from the Balashikha gang. These two worlds – Putin’s guards and bandits – were bound to cross paths sooner or later....
...In 2016, there was a “shift change” in Russian boxing – Murov and Ivanyuzhenkov handed over control of the federation to another pair of guard and hardcore criminal – Alexei Rubezhnoi and Umar Kremlev. Rubezhnoi became head of the supervisory board, the federation’s charter was amended to cancel the vote, and Rubezhnoi simply appointed Kremlev, who was little known in the boxing world at the time, as the new president....
...According to an acquaintance of Kremlev’s, Rubezhnoi at least once organized a private audience with Putin for his twice-convicted friend. Putin gave Kremlev a medal of the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, 2nd degree. But the main reward Kremlev got was somethig else.
...This was not the first generous gift Kremlev received from the state. Since 2014, in Russia, only the state, i.e. the Ministry of Sport or the Ministry of Finance, can act as a lottery organizer. However, ticket sales and winnings distribution are handled by private firms – lottery organizers who have billions of rubles of lottery money going through them. In 2019, the government appointed one of Kremlev’s companies
Kremlev as the operator of National Lottery. It was this lottery that soon became the new “strategic partner” of the boxing federation.
Proekt has established that Kremlev, through his proxies, has also become the beneficiary of three of Russia’s leading betting companies. The brands in question are Fonbet, Pari and Liga Stavok, which the Kremlev’s men took over in 2022-2023....
“Thanks to one person, today there are actually unlimited opportunities to both make money and strive. This person is, of course, our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin,“ Kremlev said in one of his recent interviews.
Putin has indeed given Kremlev and his guard Rubezhnoi almost unlimited opportunities to make money....
It is not private money. Most of the oligarchs in Russia started with state owned business. Kremlev is no different. The companies he claims his wealth from were nationalized and then transferred to him. In other words, Russia took ownership away from the original owner and then reassigned the company to a man Putin trusts, in this case Kremlev. And, why not? Kremlev is a boxing tycoon. Russia loves him.

Juniors wedding was paid for by very, very corrupt Russian money. Why is this an issue? Because Trump's family has security clearance in the USA.
