Viktor Bout, the convicted arms dealer the US swapped with Russia for WNBA star Brittney Griner, revealed what he said to her while exchanging them on the airport tarmac in Abu Dhabi.

"I wished her luck. She even sort of reached out her hand to me," Bout told the Russian state broadcaster RT in his first interview on Saturday, according to Reuters.

"Again, it's our tradition. You should wish everyone good fortune and happiness," he said, adding that he believed Griner "was positively inclined" towards him.

A video published this week showed the moment in which the pair were swapped on the tarmac. Bout and Griner can be seen walking toward each other, each accompanied by people.

The groups stop to speak briefly, and some of the people accompanying Griner shake hands with Bout before they go their separate ways.

For his interview on Saturday, Bout sat down with Maria Butina, who was previously imprisoned in the US for 14 months for acting as an unregistered Russian agent and is now a lawmaker and TV presenter.

They also spoke about the war in Ukraine, which Bout said he supported and wished that Moscow had been able to do sooner.

"If I had the chance and the required skills, I'd join up as a volunteer," he said.

He also revealed that he had a portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin in his prison cell.

"Yes, always. Why not? I'm proud that I'm Russian and that our president is Putin," he said, according to CNN.

Bout was a prominent international arms dealer arrested in 2008 in a sting operation.

So touching and heart warming. An Oprah moment.

Biden Spox Kirby Defends Releasing Russian Arms Dealer Viktor Bout: "He Was Gonna Get Out In 2029"​

 

[livingston]

Is this the reason Biden brought WNBA's Brittney Griner home?​

 

[Saltwater60]

Actually Bout sold arms to Colombian rebels. If he sold arms to terrorists, he would be given a job with U.S. government.

It seems like he sold arms to many people. Africa is confirmed and many Muslim terrorists operate there. The arms also made their way over to Afghanistan and into the hands of the Taliban.

Viktor Bout, Arms Dealer in Prisoner Swap, Remembered as ‘Monster’

“Bout, an international weapons trafficker since the 1990s, has carried out a massive weapons-trafficking business by assembling a fleet of cargo airplanes capable of transporting weapons and military equipment to various parts of the world, including Africa, South America, and the Middle East. The arms that Bout has sold or brokered have fueled conflicts and supported regimes in Afghanistan, Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Sudan.”

Paul Wehlen’s sister is happy Griner is home, maybe too happy IMO unless she doesn’t want Paul coming home? She seems a bit too happy and too close to the Biden admin.

Are you fucking insane not to see a hypocrisy here. This is exactly what U.S. does openly. He served 14 years and no one in this country served one day in prison for doing the same thing and worse. This is why they let him go. It was embracing to keep him in jail, while arming and fueling conflicts throughout the world. How can people be so arrogant to ignore double standards which are staring in their face. FUCK YOUR SUPREMACY MENTALITY.

Viktor Bout (2010) | 60 Minutes Archive​

From 2010, Armen Keteyian's report on how DEA agents captured Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms dealer nicknamed the "Merchant of Death." CNN reported that the U.S. could release Bout to secure the freedom of Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan, both currently imprisoned in Russia.

How many people all over the world were killed by U.S. supplied weapons?

 

[Mosinitis]

U.S. is arming NAZIS fucking NAZIS and he was arming rebels. Just because 60 minutes and U.S. propaganda labels any government, doesn't mean it's bad. United States of America has much worse record of supporting bad actors around the world.

Operation paper clip.
Operation Gladio.
Operation Cyclone.
Contras
Chechnya
Chile
KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army)
Ukraine
Libya
Syria
There are many others.

U.S. government sided with Colonial European powers every time people in Africa and Asia were fighting for independence.

That Griner has a man voice im not sure whats going on maybe the Russians couldnt figure out wether to put her in a mens or womans facility and took the deal so they didnt have to figure it out

Wrongful detention? Didn't he/she have drugs and break their law?

How many people around the globe are killed every day by U.S. supplied weaponry?
How many Americans spent one fucking day in jail for it?

How many tens of thousands of black folks were killed because of his business model .... He was a white supremacist of the worst kind.... Where is the BLM movement when one needs them. ?

Not insane at all. I have pointed out the government’s hypocrisy here many times. I agree what the government does is wrong and I have no background on what this guy did in particular. I will admit the USA has made many similar mistakes but I’m sure this guy sold to whoever the highest bidder was regardless of who they would use the arms against.
Again yes I get the hypocrisy and I was purely pointing out the facts of who he sold weapons to. I’m not sure how you got off on this tangent and me supporting the government here??

Probably a few Russians just today.

Do you want another list of lies told by U.S. propaganda?
70 billion to Ukrainian Nazis alone, this compares to Bout how?

You are speculating, you have no information other then partisan drivel.

Even our NATO ally blamed us for terrorist attacks on their country. Our policy of fueling conflict in Ukraine with arms shipments kills more Ukrainians than Russians.

 

[holdover]

Has n

Has nothing at all to do with race. All it has to do with is that it wasn’t worth returning an international arms dealer that sold arms to terrorists that’s all, plain and simple. She adds nothing to the county other than she can put a ball into a hoop and this guy we have back to them furthers their agenda and kills Americans. The only way this deal would be worth it is if Griner saved more lives than this guy takes in the end and that surely won’t happen. It’s a bad deal.

I was refering to the woman in the video that called whites, saltine settlers . and thought it was a good trade based on skin color.

You demand truth but Your to busy to look into it, You doubt the validity of it , but provide no proof yourself

You used words like brainwashed bandwagon hive mind, circle jerk, to describe the people posting , and You dont have the time to actually demonstrate Your point .

Maybe you didnt intend to be insulting, but it sure came off that way.

Now Im no expert in photo or video imaging, and maybe your correct, But if you want to make a point , at least back it up with original pics or something to show why.

Fair enough. I was possibly trolling some of you. I wasn't in the best frame of mind at the time.


I honestly do not have access to photo editing software at home.


I just don't like everyone being nasty and ganging up someone, even a woke celebrity.


Now I did to some research into her background. It does look like there are legit pics of her as a little girl that are deff feminine looking. She was also coy in a 2015 interview about her testosterone levels when asked about the Olympic testing. Meaning it's possible she takes PEDs (which would give her more masculine features, especially if she started them young.) I think this may be a viable answer. Taking peds would reduce breast tissue and give more masculine traits all around. Look at female body builders, they have no boobs unless they get implants. Their voice changes, their jaws become more masculine, etc.


Honestly the truth is probably only known by her and her parents. It's even possible she's a genetic anolmy, like XXY or XXX.

I also looked in Mr. Whelens background. I was not impressed. Looks like the marine corps found him guilty of "attempted larceny, three specifications of dereliction of duty, making a false official statement, wrongfully using another’s social security number, and ten specifications of making and uttering checks without having sufficient funds in his account for payment." He also lied about his real law enforcement experience on a fee jobs.

He was discharged under bad conduct. I wouldn't say an American hero.


Then holding dual citizenship and speaking many languages...and traveling a lot. Maybe the espionage charge isn't so nuts.


That being said, I don't think either of them should be held in Russian hands.

 

[Grimscale]

That being said, I don't think either of them should be held in Russian hands.

I also don't think we should be trading known arms dealers for them.

But is he bigger than bidong, 81 bill. and nothing to show in return Afghanistan, 81 bill. to Ukraine nothing to show in return and counting.
