We got Ukraine selling US arms on the black market as soon as they get their grubby hands on it, right? That's a pretty big problem.
Wouldn't it be nice to have one of the most seasoned black market arms merchants on your side to use his experience and contacts to trace and track all the munitions so you can snub them when they try to trade hands?
Yeah, that makes sense to me.
I think Putin wanted Viktor Bout back in action so he can help be like Frank William Abagnale, Jr. (Catch Me If You Can), after he straightens up, and get to work to take these guns off the market before stinger missiles end up in the hands of some ISIS zealots, Somalian pirates, or MS13 dirtbags.
Meanwhile Saudi Arabia decides that a stable Middle East is the best bet, so they brokered the deal. Biden was all shit on by the two, and now looks like an ass. His freak show is so out of the loop of sanity that they probably didn't even realize who they were trading for Big Dick Griner.
Anyways, that's a theory, I guess.
Sound theory and just to add an extra dose of “while I’m at it I’ll show the world how fucked up the US govt is by offering the whacked trans America hating POS and one of their Marines and watch who they choose…”
Well, at least your theory makes sense, that the point was to get this guy making deals and Griner is a distraction. Bc the whole Griner story is just so dumb.
Griner is a cross-dressing guy peeping at the women in the dressing room.
...compelling observation....
Im just glad we got our pot smoking tranny giraffe back. sarcasm off
There are sooooo many arms to deal… they need all hand on deck. LOL. If we didn’t live in such a F ed up world I wouldn’t believe it.
A good theory.
My thought exactly..maybe that's what's going on. Utilize someone w/ that special skill and put him to good use.
Kind of reminds one of the choice between Jesus Christ and Barabbas.
You didn't expect Pedo Joe to take Jesus did you?
I'm guessing the Ukrainians were not paying their 10%,for trafficking arms,so he replaced them with this guy.
All us munitions go to the merchant of death and the Ukrainians now have to pay like everyone else.
