Failed Donald Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh bombarded Ukrainian army staff for months with 'insane' plans to send Middle Eastern soldiers to fight Russia.

Routh's 'crazy crusade' only stopped earlier this year, months before he allegedly set out to shoot dead Trump as he played golf in West Palm Beach.
