Another major foreign policy failure by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Nothing ever seems to go right for this ridiculous, tyrannical administration.
The infamous “Merchant of Death” Viktor Bout, who Joe Biden traded for WNBA pot-smoking star Brittney Griner, is allegedly back in business. Bout reportedly was caught selling $10 million in arms to Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to The Wall Street Journal.
WNBA star Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug smuggling with criminal intent in a Russian court in August 2022.
The 6’9″ basketball star was accused of possession of vape cartridges containing cannabis oil at a Moscow airport in February, during the lead-up to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine later that month. Griner’s defense team said she was prescribed marijuana by a doctor for pain treatment.
Russia released Brittney Griner in exchange for international arms dealer Viktor Bout, the notorious “Merchant of Death.”
Vikor Bout is a former Soviet military officer, who was serving a 25-year prison sentence in the United States on charges of conspiring to kill Americans, acquire and export anti-aircraft missiles, and provide material support to a terrorist organization. Bout has maintained he is innocent – via CNN.
Bout armed terrorist groups in some of the most violent conflicts in the world.
Bout was arrested back in 2008 in Thailand and extradited back to the United States. His arrest was linked at the time to FARC rebels in Colombia.
