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. This deal is the gift that keeps on giving.
The 57-year-old, whose life reportedly inspired the 2005 Hollywood movie, “Lord of War,” starring Nicolas Cage, spent decades selling Soviet-made weapons in Africa, South America, and the Middle East before being arrested in 2008 in a U.S. law enforcement sting operation. Maybe they will have a sequel.
Ten years ago, Barack Obama offered up five terrorists to get an Army deserter back. Bowe Bergdahl was returned to great fanfare like he was some sort of damn hero. His parents were at the Rose Garden as Obama announced Bergdahl’s return, what a joke that was. Those five were back in the business of Taliban terror within a few years. THE ART OF THE DEAL DEMOCRAT PARTY STYLE.
Of course, I understand that the resident lefties here will claim those were great deals and we may even get one member to say both sides make stupid deals, but this kind of thing to me is flat-out treasonous.
