So he's breaching international sanctions to provide material assistance to Russia? Can the state not sanction the absolute waste of skin?
Well Socom Tactical won't ever be getting my money again!

Sanctions started in 2022 when the war started, his alleged sale to Russia was 2019

With the war ongoing since 2014 and the direct involvement of Russian SF units throughout, in hindsight it isn't great. But the full scale invasion in 2022 was the turning point mainly for peoples attention span - I remember reading an article in 2020 or 2021 that questioned whether it was right for British companies to supply the Ukrainian side after a British-manufactured rifle was spotted in a video recorded in a Ukrainian position. Think we soon got our answer on that one, but most people were turning such a blind eye to the morality of the ongoing conflict to allow it to escalate in the first place.
Ironically the KMCS suits now show up on Ukrainian forces. The Stalker suits are still using the same Russian (SOKL manufacture) design and from my understanding these continue to be made in Russia despite several Russian military clothing brands moving their production to China. SOKL's 'Olja' design is marketed by Stalker as 'Alder'. The 'Taiga' name stays the same between the two although Stalker's version is no longer based on the Finnish M05 camo, not sure about if its SOKL counterpart made the same change.

Plenty of people myself included were buying from the likes of grey shop in the post 2014 era.
We ofc were also the ones blindsided by the invasion as you say many people were.
So this particular point i'll give to km, doesnt look good in hindsight but contextually its not as bad if i grant him the same ignorance as most of the population.
