Impeachable.
Biden decided to trade one of the world’s most dangerous arms dealers for a woke WNBA player to pander to what he thought was his base. There were plenty of warnings that this corrupt move would endanger Americans.
I warned that, “Biden undermined national security, freeing the ‘Merchant of Death’, an arms dealer with reported ties to Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, who had been busted trying to sell surface-to-air missiles to Marxist narcoterrorists who tried to sell 30,000 AK-47s to kill Americans.”
Now you’ll never guess what Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer freed by Biden, is up to now.
Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death,” walked out of a U.S. jail almost two years ago in a trade with Moscow for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner. Now he is back in business, trying to broker the sale of small arms to Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militants.
For now it’s supposedly just small arms, but what the Houthis really need are missiles. Like the ones being fired at US Navy ships and at Israel.
Reuters reported this week that Iran is engaging in secret talks to help the Houthis obtain advanced Yakhont missiles, known as P-800 Oniks, from Moscow. These would help the terrorist group more precisely target commercial ships in the Red Sea, complementing the large ballistic and cruise-missile inventory the group has fielded from Iran.
How long until Biden’s corrupt decision to free the ‘Merchant of Death’ costs American lives?

No evil deed is without evil consequences. And what does griner do for American citizens?
The fool broke laws, whined a lot, her cohort in whatever cried a lot, and biden, not willing to look at reality, but looking to be re-selected (which didn’t work out anyway, hyena selected instead) and what now….a terrorist doing business as a terrorist and terrorist supporter.
American citizens got the shaft.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
If you recall, there were two American hostages that the Russians had and they offered one for Viktor Bout. One was Griner, and another was an American security official for an automotive parts company Paul Whelan. The administration picked Griner, and in its aftermath, RT joked that instead of preferring a patriotic American, the Bidens preferred Griner b’cos Whelan had 3 unforgivable attributes: he was White, Straight and male. Whelan and a few others did ultimately get released a few weeks ago in exchange for a number of Russians
somehistory says
You are right of course, Infidel. It was all for show because griner clicked all of the popular buttons. Being White is just so out of style. and being male, and straight is just so boring. Nobody who is anybody clicks on those buttons.
biden went with what would get him the most attention in the crowd of perverts.

Here’s a video of that discussion

Taffy says
And did the Biden administration expect anything else? If Viktor Bout were going to be traded for anybody, it should have been a CIA spy or similar government operative. The Griner situation should have been handled through the ordinary low level diplomatic protest and it should never have been given the attention of the Secretary of State or the President. If the ordinary diplomatic protest failed, stupid Griner should have served her sentence in a Russian prison to teach her not to bring drugs into Russia or any country where they enforce those laws. Woman’s basketball would have done just fine without her.

Whelan for Bout would have been a fair exchange. Griner for Bout was ridiculous!

Asked a couple of days ago what j kerry said about ‘changing the Constitution.’ Glenn Beck plays a clip near the end of a recent discussion on how harris, clinton, walz and kerry intend to limit free speech.
walz says the Constitution bans “hate speech”….
kerry said “our first Amendment stands as a major block in order to hammer it out of existence.’ He said people ” self select what they listen to”..
.so .listen if you choose. They want to silence everyone except themselves.

It’s always amazing how leftist communists think is a fair trade. We get this POS in exchange for someone of value to those that hate us. Obama did the same thing with bo bergdahl. Disgusting.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Point is that to the Left, Griner was the person of value: basketball player, yeah, but more than that, someone who was on the intersection of Black, woman, homosexual! As the RT CEO noted in that video, she had 3 major advantages over Whelan, who was White, man & straight! The fact that she was addicted to vaping hashish was the icing on that DEI cake, as opposed to Whelan, who the Russians thought was a patriotic American
If anything, I’m surprised that they got Whelan out at all! I suspect it was more of a Russian initiative than a US one, since they expect Trump to have tougher negotiators
Ben says
Senile Joe was an idiot for releasing him in exchange for that America hating WNBA player.

Russian Arms Dealer Freed by Biden Regime Selling Weapons to Jihad Terrorists
…………………………………………
Why does this not surprise?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Iran’s oil facilities, particularly Kharg island, needs to be destroyed. Viktor Bout is not selling weapons to the Houthis b’cos he’s an anti-Semite (although he may well be): his motives are purely mercenary. The Houthis don’t have a dime to pay for anything, so they’re not the ones paying for this: Iran is! So Iran needs to be bankrupted again, and then I doubt Bout will be as enthusiastic to ship the Houthis those weapons. He might be better off selling it to Israel instead
I recall when he was exchanged for Britney Griner, that the journalists at RT who were discussing this mocked the Biden administration for prioritizing Griner over Paul Whelan, just b’cos the latter was White and Straight! This government has been beyond embarrassing

weed diplomacy fun and games until China starts taking a piece of your big russian federation ass
WPM says
Thanks to the Biden administration policies China and the Russians are closer then they have ever been as allies in 70 years like in the Koran war ,Russia has lots of oil and minerals it would gladly trade with China .China will gladly make inroads in Middle East ,Africa and South America now that are an economic power house thanks to Bill Clinton’s trade agreements of the 1990s . I am sure the Chinese will be gladly to have Viktor Bout sell arms (from China) to destabilize the west position in the Middle East .Biden and Harris project weakness and confusion all but invite our enemies’ to undermine our positions and interest world wide. Yes we must get our female basketball player back at all cost ,never mind she was stupid enough to bring a THC vape pen with her when she went to Russia to play B Ball!

One thing that all our foreign policy geniuses in the State Department and Center for Foreign Relations overlook is that ever since President Nixon took advantage of the Sino-Soviet split, for the rest of the Cold War, the US never took on a coalition of Beijing & Moscow. Even during President Bush 43, it wasn’t an immediate danger, since China was run by Jiang Zemin and Hu JIntao, neither of who were as belligerent as President Xi, so the US didn’t really have a rival then
But during President Xi, US just made it a point to aggravate Moscow by expanding NATO eastwards, until the conversation arrived at Russia’s doorstep – in Ukraine. This was a clear violation of the verbal guarantee that President Bush 41’s Secretary of State James Baker gave to Mikhail Gorbachev – that NATO would not expand beyond Germany. The mistake Gorbachev made was to trust Baker’s oral commitment, instead of insisting on a treaty on paper. Had Russia sensed that the Cold War had indeed ended and the West no longer had any animus against it, they probably wouldn’t even have bothered to repossess Crimea, let alone Donbas, Mariupol, Kherson or Zaporizhzhia
Or better yet, if NATO was too valuable to disband, then Bush 43 could have overridden Condoleeza Rice and admited Russia into NATO. Then Russia could have been a part of the Western alliance against the Chicoms
Of course, it’s a harder proposition to make when the West itself is morphing into what the Soviet Union was during the time of Lenin
