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

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.

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.

An arms dealer for a basketball player who knowingly brought weed/hash into a country where it was illegal. I think we know who won this trade…
