An earlier post I suggested that the trade of Viktor Bout for Brittney Griner was about values - we value athletes over gun runners.
Correct me if I'm wrong... but didn't Viktor Bout the arms merchant get his start by basically looting the weapons stocks of some of the (then) newly independent Soviet states?
Maybe he knows where all the Russian (Soviet) winter gear went to. Maybe the Russians want to have a few *words* with the man.
Bout made a lot of enemies on the way. He was probably safer in the Super Max where he was held then in whatever apartment Putin's going to park him in.
Watch out for the windows, Viktor!
