Democrat President Joe Biden has reportedly offered to exchange notorious Russian weapons trafficker Viktor Bout in exchange for the release of WBNA player Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan.
CNN reported that several sources inside the administration said that the proposal received Biden’s “backing” after he was briefed on the matter.
“We communicated a substantial offer that we believe could be successful based on a history of conversations with the Russians,” a senior administration official told CNN. “We communicated that a number of weeks ago, in June.”
Bout, who is often referred to as the “Merchant of Death,” is a notorious arms trafficker who inspired the 2005 Nicolas Cage movie “Lord of War.”
Bout was convicted on terrorism charges back in 2011 for trying to sell tens of millions of dollars worth of missiles to shoot down U.S. Military helicopters.
“Today, one of the world’s most prolific arms dealers is being held accountable for his sordid past,” said then-Attorney General Eric Holder back in November 2011. “Viktor Bout’s arms trafficking activity and support of armed conflicts have been a source of concern around the globe for decades. Today, he faces the prospect of life in prison for his efforts to sell millions of dollars worth of weapons to terrorists for use in killing Americans.”
“As the evidence at trial showed, Viktor Bout was ready to sell a weapons arsenal that would be the envy of some small countries,” said then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara. “He aimed to sell those weapons to terrorists for the purpose of killing Americans. With today’s swift verdict, justice has been done and a very dangerous man will be behind bars. I would like to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents who investigated this case on three different continents and helped to bring Viktor Bout to justice.”

Putin is the worst guy ever - absolute tyrannical fiend and evil dictator - yet here is the soiler in chief negotiating sending him back a spy in exchance for some America hating ball player.
I'm sure the lib shills here have the excuses/deflection tactics on standby (or will just avoid this thread completely). I'm sure GroomerPat at least has something.

Kinda got mixed fillings on this tbh.
We partnered with this dude multiple times over the years.
He’s just an opportunist, and a proper dirty capitalist.
Surprised we haven’t already worked something out previously with another trade.Intelligent individuals learn from every thing and every one; average people, from their experiences. The stupid already have all the answers.

Idk what Russia would want with this guy, but his arms running career is over. Hopefully if they give him back we get more than one hostage given his crimes.
Somewhat mixed feelings but probably lean towards getting back Americans than spending taxes to jail this guy to death.EX IGNORANTIA AD SAPIENTIAM

This dude was basically our former eastern block, parts of Africa, and southwest Asia air cargo service for over a decade. Even UN “peacekeeping” personal and convoys.
Someone was gonna deal all the former Soviet arms one way or the other - at least we had monitoring, tracking, and contact - and no worries of WMD’s.
Id be surprised if him and Putin had a good relationship.Intelligent individuals learn from every thing and every one; average people, from their experiences. The stupid already have all the answers.

Viktor Bout:
“As the evidence at trial showed, Viktor Bout was ready to sell a weapons arsenal that would be the envy of some small countries."
In exchange for...
Mannish woman who dribbles a ball in a sport that gets less attention than the collegiate male equivalent who was caught with vape cartridges.
"Hey, I'll give you my whole Nintendo 64 collection for your Go-Gurt!"
Okay, joking aside, they are at least also trying to free Marine veteran Paul N. Whelan, who was sentenced for 20 years over """espionage."""
Still a win for Russia because of Bout's knowledge on the US and any possible connections. Basically trading one of the most prolific arms dealers who even has a bloody Hollywood move about him (that's a great flick, no less) starring the Legend Nicolas Cage in exchange for a charge of "Play Stupid Games...", and highly dubious """espionage""" charges.
It appears to be a possibility:
One former U.S. official familiar with Mr. Bout’s situation said the Russian government’s interest in his freedom appeared to be personal and that he has ties to powerful people close to President Vladimir V. Putin.I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine
