Victor Bout is the poster boy for a new generation of post Cold War international arms dealers who play a critical role in areas where the weapons trade has been embargoed by the United Nations....

Joe Biden happily trades this murderer for a woman who hates America.
I put the wrong title up. Should be:
The Embargo Buster: Fueling Bloody Civil Wars
I feel bad for Paul Whelan. Imagine what that guy must be thinking when a U.S. Marine has to see a notorious arms dealer exchanged for an America hating dyke who out of arrogance or ignorance took contraband into another country with zero regard for their laws.
My take is how the utter hacks in the media PRETEND to care that “black lives matter”....and then a guy who has killed thousands of blacks is set free, they couldn’t care less.
I agree that Whelan should have been a higher priority and Griner was stupid to go to Russia in the first place, but she was still a hostage. Russia is not Singapore. Their drug laws are rather relaxed. 10 years for $20 worth of weed is not anywhere near the standard practice there.
They gave her this extraordinary sentence because they wanted an American hostage. She was perfect for the role because Russians wanted this hostage to be ugly and unlikable.
Biden is stupid because paying for hostages encourages more hostage taking.
It’s par for the course for the media, and BLM as well.

Bout armed Al quesadilla and the Taliban.
He is responsible for American service peoples deaths. He will supply those who will kill more.
Slo Joe frees an international arms dealer.
Slo Joe wants to take your guns.
Let that sink in.
There you go. The media applauds.
Joe also left billions in arms and equipment for the Taliban and is supplying the world arms bazars with a never-ending stream of weapons funneled through Ukraine.
On 15 May 1995 Sudan sent a wire to Carney informing the Ambassador that his government was allowing Osama Bin Laden to depart the Sudan. The Saudi and his family left Khartoum on 18 May in a chartered plane flown by a Russian pilot.
It landed at Sharjah (from where the notorious Victor Bout operated a fleet of planes), and the next day Bin Laden continued on to Jalalabad. In Afghanistan, Bin Laden was the honored guest of Yunis Khalis, the Hizb-i-Islami leader, and a mujahideen commander whom he knew quite well. Khalis, the Pakistan ISI’s man in Afghanistan, was reported to have been in Khartoum earlier in the year and offered Bin Laden asylum in Afghanistan, if such he wanted. By then there was no decent alternative for Bin Laden.
The Left and their media (especially ESPN) is in the midst of orgasmic glee over Griner’s release and could not care less about the horrible man who is now free to resume murdering people in Africa and around the world.
