Should U.S. Swap ‘Merchant of Death’ for Brittney Griner?

Russia needs Victor for the war in Ukraine.

She will now become even more of a Social Justice Warrior.

So much “white supremacy” to combat.

Biden will probably sell him some weapons.

But Bout’s history in the arms trade extended much further afield. He has been accused of assembling a fleet of cargo planes to traffic military-grade weapons to conflict zones around the world since the 1990s, fueling bloody conflicts from Liberia to Sierra Leone and Afghanistan. Allegations of trafficking activities in Liberia prompted US authorities to freeze his American assets in 2004 and blocked any US transactions.

They just described him as competition!

I would not be surprised if the Russian Warlord ended up with U.S. weapons that are used on the Ukranians.

Here's a quote from BG: “I’m going to protest regardless,” she said. “I'm not going to be out there for the national anthem. If the league continues to want to play it, that's fine. It will be all season long, I'll not be out there. I feel like more are going to probably do the same thing. I can only speak for myself.”

Brittney Griner: National anthem has no place in WNBA, sports

This is the fine upstanding individual the US just traded for an arms dealer. Sounds like a fair trade to me.

We got the government we deserve.

Griner is shown signing papers on November 29 - it's unclear if she knew at this point that she was going home

'Merchant of Death' arms dealer Viktor Bout is shown being greeted by his mother after arriving back in Moscow tonight

What are you talking about? Nobody here is saying any of this

You keep saying American law.

American law has no jurisdiction in Russia

 

[lawgator1]

Not only is that objectively not what his family says, your constant posts to this end run at odds with Paul Whelan’s feelings.

If your only option is trading the “most dangerous man in the world” for an ungrateful WNBA player, you don’t make the trade.

Your reading comprehension is awful. Demand a refund of that $83 from the University of Tennessee because they let you down.

This is the most interest in a WNBA trade in history.

I didn't say "American law" that I know of, but I'll believe you if you post it. Whatever the case may be, you're not understanding the point (which is about justice, not law)

What? Guess its time to stock up on rubbers.

I've got a hook up if you need some.

Finally, a funny post in this thread.

I'm just wondering what comes first:

Orange Defense's diesel famine

Happy-go-vol's head exploding when Griner is back in action

 

[CagleMtnVol]

It wasn't either/or. In fact Whelan's family says so.

Do you not think they are being told what to say right now?

Your brethren says that's not what they said at all. You auto-bash Biden guys need to get your stories straight.

Hmm yeah I can agree with this. They are the Candace Owens and Charlies Kirks of the other side. Equally disgusting to me.

I wouldn't compare Candace Owens to either of those clowns on the left. Clearly Candace is a lightening rod. She used to be a democrat. She grew up around democrats in her family. She learned to break the chains of the democrat party - the lies, the harm it does not just for the black community but to America. Today you still lose friends being a black conservative. It takes bravery to be a black conservative. Most or all are well spoken and thoughtful. It doesn't take guts to be a democrat. Brainwashed, conditioned...decade after decade of high crime, bad schools, a system that promotes fatherless homes, and promotes blaming others instead of empowering. Yes, the democrat party sucks azz. I know these feelings all too well.

So before you compare Candace to whites, males, etc consider that Candace is in a category that is the most loyal democrat voter block.

 

[Freiwillige]

Biden never should have traded Bout for Griner.

It is another sad day for America.

 

[StarRaider]

I just watched the Damian Lewis Spy Wars S1E7 on bout (really good on Smithsonian Channel)... he never said a word when he was on trial. Mafiaesque.

 

[82_VOL_83]

We got people more worried about optics and "winning" than justice.

Yep, completely. You and everyone else that applauds this BS.

lol there is nothing that Candace Owens does that is brave. GTFO

And I would suggest nothing you do is brave. Your comparisons are terrible. Thought I'd let you know.
