Are you allergic to 'links'?


Viktor Bout: Russian arms dealer known as the 'Merchant of Death' swapped for Brittney Griner

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...death-swapped-for-brittney-griner/ar-AA153qL3


So...the man whom the excellent film, 'Lord of War', was supposedly, largely based on?
The man known as 'The Merchant Of Death'?
https://www.amazon.com/Merchant-Dea...8990&sprefix=merchant+of+death,aps,121&sr=8-1

Was traded for a whining, STUPID (bringing illegal drugs into Russia is STUPID), semi-famous, basketball player?


This was obviously done for PR reasons by Biden.
And it is obviously, a HORRIFIC trade - for America.

And if you disagree?
You are ignorant and/or lying and/or flat out stupid.


Once again, I DESPISE, both parties.

Paul Whelan was kicked out of the Marines with a bad conduct discharge, but he deserved a dishonorable discharge. For you to defend his stealing from Marines in combat is a sign of what you think of real military personnel.

Trevor Reed had an HONORABLE DISCHARGE from the US Marines. He drank to much, and acted a bit odd on a street, but was basically a good guy.

Were you covered in liberal tears over Bradley Manning? Let me guess,...........Never mind.

Again, where are you getting these claims? Are they claims the Kremlin prosecutors made?

Griner should only have been assessed a fine, instead of getting nine years in Siberia.

You obviously know little about Russian, drug laws.
They are INCREDIBLY harsh.
The judge was (apparently) within his legal rights to sentence her as he did.

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.

Whelan is a Canadian thief who was dishonorably discharged for theft.

Stop getting your info from Fox News.

He was trying to BUY Russian military secrets. He had 80K on him to buy the Russian secrets. I suspect he was in fact spying for the US.

Griner had 4 cartridges of Hashish oil. That is significantly more than 1 milliliter.

Okay, you didn't want to tell me where you got this information, but I figured it out on my own.
.
Your claim that Whelan was carrying 80k cash to buy Russian military secrets is what the FSB claims.

You are using Russian state security for your source of info on an American citizen.

Do you really expect me to believe the FSB's version of events?

Manning seemed fair. He (or she) got her sentence commuted down to 7 years, and got a dishonorable discharge. She will have a felony record for life, and once again, served 7 years of hard time. No one is

Whelan did not even get 60 days in jail, but rather 60 days of restrictions. He got away with a bad conduct discharge. I would have thought we could have all agreed that was not enough, but I guess I was wrong.

Brittney and the arms dealer are high profile people, Whelan is not?!! The deal was for one for one and take it or live it?!! Whelan family said the Biden administration made the right decision too?!! The Biden administration will continue working on the release of Whelan and other Americans held abroad too?!!

In reality neither Whelan or Griner are worth releasing a guy the supplies terrorist and is plotting to kill Americans

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.
