Russian illegal arms dealer Victor Bout is back in business working with Houthi militants. He was swapped by Biden administration for basketball player Brittney Griner... Bout is considered to be part of russian illegal operations in war business.
Lions Led By Donkeys podcast did a great review of Bout's activity before his arrest by US authorities:
I don’t understand why ppl are upset that Bout’s and Griner’s crimes are so uneven. Like, should Griner have been selling deadly weapons for the trade to have been fair?
Yes, and President Biden just did this, because #BrittanyGriner is an American, and this sort of thing is part of his job.
#Biden isn’t expecting a lifetime of endless services, favors and obeisance in return…and I’ll bet #VictorBout wishes to hell he could say the same about #Putin.
