>a silly way of broadly describing the conflict Admittedly, the comment you responded to is sparse on details but in addition to other goals--some of them noble--money laundering and other adjacent activities by those close to the center of power is often a side effect characteristic of these sorts of adventures. It's reasonable to posit that both noble actions and lots of neferious activities can co-exist. And since the commenter specifically mentions the plea deal in relation to Hunter's past dealings with Ukraine, it should be reasonable to assume he was referring to that aspect of the war. I tried reading the comment in good faith so I thought the commenter was alluding to Hunter's alleged entaglements with Ukraine, being on a board or advisor to some ukranian company or whatnot when he had no qualifications for being there. A reasonable devil's advocate position would suggest that the pardon would prevent Hunter from being forced to expose other incriminating details in exchange for leniency, if there was such a possibility.
