Watch: International Arms Dealer Gives First Interview Since His Release from US Prison

Victor Bout gave his first interview on Saturday since his release from prison in the US.

On Friday, Joe Biden traded the “Merchant of Death” for pot-smoking America-hating WNBA star Brittney Griner.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug smuggling with criminal intent in a Russian court back in August. Russian prosecutors pushed for a sentence of 9.5 years in a penal colony.

Russia released Brittney in exchange for international arms dealer Viktor Bout.

Vikor Bout, known as the “merchant of death,” 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.

On Saturday Viktor Bout sat down with Maria Butina from Russia Today in his first interview since his release from US prison.

Viktor Bout told RT: “They’re losing their Christian values. They’re losing their families. They’re losing literally their country. It is not anymore the same country we knew America used to be, the model for the entire world and lead and be an example. Like they say, you know, a sparkling town on a hill.”

    This guy may or may not have been an arms dealer but as far as what he said In this interview he couldn’t be more correct. Propaganda against Russia has been feed to the American people since the end of WWII, most Americans don’t have a problem with Russia at all, it’s like he said “it’s the elite’s” the warmongering pentagon and the communist regime that’s currently destroying our once great country. Our real enemy is China and has been since the ccp invaded the country with communism. They have corrupted American politicians, corporations and universities to get everything they want and it’s all but completely eliminated manufacturing jobs in the United States. They are responsible for millions upon millions of jobs in America being sent to China, this fentanyl problem isn’t new, China has been a supplier of illicit drugs in the US for decades, they are the enemy.
    The only reason we’re considered enemies with Russia is again, just like he said the corrupt elite traitors who are destroying our country with China.

    “FOLLOW THE MONEY”~ think about it, anytime you have anyone exposing the government for what it really is, they are deemed as a terrorist / an accident of convivence happens to that individual who is exposing that truth.

    Having a president treat America like a business you get success & “NOT” failures & severe increases in the basic staples to survive.

    America will thrive & grow being treated in a business-like way…

    Companies profit from a war economy in at least three ways: logistics and reconstruction, private security contracting, and supplying weapons.

Do not agree with his profession in any sense, but this is a very real statement about the conditions in this country.
