I hear Gropin' Joe also threw in a box of chocolate pudding to sweeten the deal. His favorite.

Depraved explaining. If the merchant of death sold hammers maybe she would have cared more.

The movie with Nicholas Cage is pretty nice I recommend catching it. It would be funny if they added an epilogue with Cage being exchanged for Griner.

Now that he’s out , and fancy free again, put a contract on him. No more jail time. Just end it. Can’t be that difficult. We have many assets . Plus , Biden believes in plausible deniability . Here’s a great opportunity to practice what he preaches. Trump would , in a hearbeat.

Yesterday, the WH said it was Griner or no one. My response would have been: No one, we’re keeping Bout

Sounds like they freed the creature from the pits of hell in Revelation.

Griner is going to have to live with a lot of negative press. And I personally would not want to be her 6 months from now if Russia is suddenly winning on the war path.

This swap really was no swap at all. Plus SA helped? The cost of that help was the dropping of a lawsuit here? I know ...no one is connecting those dots just yet, the coincidence is right there. Plus SA is working with Russia these days and had dropped the petrodollar a few months ago.

This whole swap/deal stinks to high heaven. What weapons are being reverse engineered by Russia and China that we have given to SA. And now the Merchant of Death is loosed upon the world?

I really do not need all the finer details to make these connections. This has got to be the worst deal in human history. Griner will commit suicide inside of a year from the guilt and stress at what has been done.

We have had many wonders in the sky lately and now will this exchange give us the smoke from the abyss?

Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss. 2 The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. 3And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.…

Pretty weak hand if Bout was “the only leverage Biden had.”

Karine Jean-Pierre said during the press conference that Bout didn’t have much more time to serve. He got a mandatory 25 years.

ALL that matters to the radical leftists, Godless Democrats is to advocate for/assist/help/further/promote/force on people perversion and sexual immorality. NOTHING else matters to them, not even our lives.

In September 1992 transport planes built in the Soviet Union and carrying arms had begun to transit the Sudan on their way to the airport at Maribor, Slovenia. The shipments from Khartoum were moved by planes under the control of Viktor Anatoliyevich Bout (AKA, Boutov, Butt, Bouta, etc.,) Born at Dushanbe, Tashkent in 1967, Bout attended the Moscow Military Institute of Foreign Languages and was shortly thereafter active in the Soviet airforce in Angola. Decomissioned in 1991, he and his men formed Transavia Export Cargo. In the following year he began to move arms to Afghanistan where he reportedly was involved with the various Islamist warlords at war with one another. Possessing myriad passports and Soviet-built planes, his various air cargo lines used airports from Geneva through central Africa. At what point Bout began operating with Bin Laden in the Balkans is unknown, but Bout was already involved with the Abu Sayyaf movement in the Philippines.
As the Bosniak jihad expanded Bout’s planes were often seen in Bulgarian airports where he had contacts with local arms merchants. In March 1995 he founded the Trans Aviation Network Group in Ostende, Belgium, a site that was later discovered useful to traffickers who funneled arms to the Balkans. Bout was also an associate of money launderers and diamond traders who worked for Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, and by the close of the nineteen nineties he had the reputation of the world’s most important arms trafficker.

Mark Fogel, a Buffalo, NY teacher, was sentenced to a 14-year prison term in Russia in April for drug smuggling after he was caught entering the country with medical marijuana, he says was prescribed to him after back surgery. He’s still there. Apparently, white privilege doesn’t work when it comes to hostage exchanges
