Well, he did it.

Joe Biden has decided that it would be a great deal to give Russia back a political prisoner, Viktor Bout, AKA The Merchant of Death, so that we could get back an America-hating WNBA player who got busted for carrying drugs in Russia.

From CBS News:

Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who was held for months in Russian prisons on drug charges, was released Thursday in a one-for-one prisoner swap for international arms dealer Viktor Bout, CBS News learned early Thursday from a U.S. official. The one-for-one exchange agreement negotiated with Moscow in recent weeks was given final approval by President Biden within just the last week, according to sources familiar with the deal. The swap, first reported by CBS News, took place on Thursday in the United Arab Emirates.

Five former U.S. officials told CBS News the agreement had been reached as of last Thursday.

This deal has been in the making for months. We shared this story in August about how evil and murderous this Merchant of Death is and how ridiculous it would be to give this guy back to Russia.

He is one of the most vicious men and prized prisoners in US history, and we're giving him up so that we can bring an American-hating WNBA player back to the states.

What are we doing here?

At a time when we're funding a war against Russia we are also giving them their most dangerous arms dealer back so we can bring a basketball-playing pothead back to our country.

What a joke.
