NEWSMAX @newsmax · 15h Retired U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North said President Joe Biden's decision to trade notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout for WNBA star Brittney Griner benefits Russian President Vladimir Putin more than it does the U.S. https://Clickbait/3W6E33f "Putin's wanted Bout back for a long time. In fact, he offered to exchange Bout for [Paul] Whelan way back over a year ago," North said Saturday during an appearance on Newsmax's "Saturday Report." "Bout has been in jail for some time. He's convicted in the United States, sentenced to life in prison. It was shortened to 20-some-odd years. He is a man who acquires weapons. What does Putin need most right now? Weapons." https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/griner-wnba-whelan/2022/12/17/id/1100915/
