    > Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, nicknamed the “Merchant of Death,” has made a comeback to the arms trading business and is seeking to broker sales of small arms to Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militants, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

    > Bout, 57, was freed in a December 2022 prisoner swap with U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner.

    Come on Mossad, do your thing. This guy is selling weapons to terrorists.

    But they said it was safe to trade him for Brittney Griner becuz he wouldn’t go back to dealing death.

    We gave him away for washed up athlete. What an awesome trade.

    All the smooth brains in here thinking that him going back to arms dealing isn’t precisely an act by putin to make the US look foolish. Like there’s something special about his arms dealing that isn’t being done by hundreds of other Victor Bout wannabes. I bet most of the people in here think the IRS takes gift cards.

    Bout, 57, was freed in a December 2022 prisoner swap with U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner.

  7. It’s still incredibly frustrating and embarrassing that a notorious arms dealer who is responsible for countless deaths was exchanged for a fucking basketball player.

    I wonder if Griner even gives a second thought to the thousands of likely deaths her freedom will cost, or if she’s just going to continue talking shit about how bad America is.

    Wow guys, I’m so surprised! How could this be?! How did people not see this coming??? /s

  11. We traded a terrorist who hates America for a basketball player who hates America.

    The Biden Administration is a bunch of jackasses.

  12. Well look at his resume, what was he going to do teach kindergarten?

  13. Psssshht. Arms trading…

    Yo Vic, can I order one 7.62×39 bullet please? To be delivered in your head.

  17. Russia kidnaps innocents to trade for convicted criminals. That’s their game and they sadly do it well. Time the US and NATO starts doing it too. Just declare all Russian citizens spies and lock them up. Oh, wait, we respect human rights.
