Ryan Wesley Routh

Ryan Wesley Routh is a North Carolina-born conspiracy theorist and pro-war registered Democrat who allegedly attempted to assassinate president Trump on September 15, 2024 in Florida. This was the second assassination attempt on Trump, two months after the attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. His son confirmed to the British press that "his father hates Trump as 'every reasonable person does.'"

Ryan Routh is a warmonger and Russia hoaxer. It appears also that he has been very involved in multiple CIA-backed "democracy" operations in Belarus, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Ukraine, and is very Anti-Zionist (denying history). At the time of the assassination attempt, he was a resident of Hawaii and traveled to Florida for the assassination of President Trump.

Ukraine collusion

In early 2022 Routh flew to Kyiv to illegally recruit foreign mercenaries to fight for the Zelensky regime at $1,200 per month. Routh had started something called the International Volunteer Center, which purported to help foreigners seeking to assist Ukraine’s war effort.

Max Blumenthal reported Routh published a 291 page book, “Unwinnable War,” about his time in Ukraine’s International Legion. Routh said he'd like to see President Putin of Russia assassinated and seems to hope for President Trump's assassination as well, and calls for the United States to "instigate" a nuclear war with Russia. Routh clearly articulated mindset toward Russia that mirrors the deep state beltway swamp. Routh offered gushing admiration for Juan Guaido, the Free Syrian Army, Myanmar rebels, and other CIA backed forces, while hinting at "a friendship with MSNBC natsec hack and fellow International Brigade member Malcolm Nance.

Routh appeared in a May 2022 propaganda video glorifying the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion.
