The Merchant of Death

It's called the spy game, genius. Bout is finished in the arms dealer game, but NOT an intelligence agent, so his early release (he was scheduled for 25 years) is no biggie in the grand scheme of things. Whatever cloak & dagger shit Whelan was into will warrant an exchange of a Russian spy.

Hell, the chick who was rubbing up against jokers in Trump's circle was practically sent home without so much as a week in the local pokey. Go figure.
He still has contacts and the internet and can hire people to represent him outside of Russia and of course he is a favored person by Putin.
 
Has been swapped for a basketball player.

Brittney Griner released from Russian prison in swap for convicted arms dealer


Breaking news.

====================================


Should we have traded for the ex marine Paul Whelan instead?


They needed a nice heartstrings tugger to go with Congress passing the homosexual marriage bill.

I doubt the ex-marine is a homosexual.
 
Lefties hate military personnel and love asshats that hate this country unless of course they want back in.

Whelan dishonored his military service when he was court-martialed for larceny, lying and several other infractions.

I think when you cons say "(any liberal) hates America" it's the fallback position when you can't defend your own guy's actions.
 
Bitching, moi? I'm pointing out that just because Whelan was a Marine, it doesn't mean he was a good one, as the record shows.

Why are you disregarding his crimes and character flaws?
:laugh: Why are you lying? I said he was dishonorably discharged and I said neither him or Griner were worth trading a man that supplies terrorist and that was trying to kill American citizens. That will likely lead to American deaths.
 
Should have?

Do u write Russian laws? A country is free to impose its own law...if u don't like it don't go there....she should have stayed in America u know the country that oppressed her

I am sure Iran does not like the fact that we don't stone or hang gays...should we just because they don't agree with us

If you are gay and go to Iran get caught it's on you, should have stayed here

Way to stand up for human rights, volsweenie.
 
Whelan is a former marine who has been in prison longer and has served his country. I'm glad Griner is coming home but Paul Whelan should be coming home first. It is sad that the price was Viktor Bout that was caught try to sell 30,000 AK 47s and 800 surface to air missiles and trying to bring down an American helicopter.

Will Putin just jail another American to eventually swap.

Indeed.

Another of Biden's foreign policy blunders.

One remembers Obama's Berghdahl blunder, swapping 5 terrorists for a traitor.

Why did Y O U make a 180-degree turn after writing these posts? You must have googled Whelan's record and thought "oh, shit." :rofl2:

" I'm glad Griner is coming home but Paul Whelan should be coming home first."

"
I'd be more OK than an America hater pampered athlete."

"
Whalen has been in jail longer. Or maybe YOU think a lesbian pampered athlete takes precedence over an ex marine."

And, Bradley Manning?

I never said they SHOULD trade either Griner or Whelan for Bout. I said they shouldn't. But Whelan should have been brought home first BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN IN JAIL LONGER. Griner has been there 10 months and Whelan has been there 4 years.

A deal should be made but the "BOUT" price should not have been the price paid.



Your reading comprehension is very bad

Understood that for you character doesn't count and it's all about time served. :rolleyes:
 
Character does count.

The perverted, America hating, drug abusing basketball player has no character.

And Bradley Manning is a hero?

That sounds fairly homophobic. There is nothing perverted about homosexuality.

And do you have evidence that she abuses drugs - or hates America?

She was arrested for illegal drugs and admitted it.

She refused to stand for the National Anthem.

Yes, homosexuality is perversion, an abomination per God...and me.

Bout has not been back in Russia for 15 years. He has no organization. The threat is imaginary and right-wing bullshit. He was a high-value prisoner in 2006. He is nothing now. Everyone he knew and worked with is long gone.

She refused to be present when the national anthem was played. She broke other countries' laws so she can satisfy her drug habit. That drug habit got a man freed that supplied terrorists with the means to murder others and plotted to kill American soldiers.
