oh, he can be sent on to the field immediately as a volunteer… LMAO
@Clutch Nixon ha ha ok goober
@Clutch Nixon They had to loosen their standards to recruit as many soldiers as possible. They called in hundreds of thousands of conscripts and has pardoned criminals under the condition that they join the “special military operation”
@Clutch Nixon lol. What! All those people are volunteers! Civilians that wanted to defend their country! Not forced to the meat grinder!
@An Acc They just activated 300k soldiers from their army reserve. Their army reserve had the same fitness requirements. I doubt Viktor Bout would pass
@Follower of Jesus Christ let’s not do a bible quiz buddy, your holy book:
Condones slavery: “Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse.” (1 Peter 2:18)
Including sexual slavery: “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again.” Exodus 21: 7-8
Is pro-cannibalism: “And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son….” (II Kings 6:28-29)
Your god promotes screwing your dead brother’s wife after killing him, not doing so puts you on Jahweh’s kill list: “And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.” (Genesis 38:7-10)
A Russian complaining about the food in American jails, Russians in a Russian prison be like, they gave you chicken!
The basketball guy ,who been freed ,he didn’t complained about Russian food in prison. I bet wasn’t that bad :))))))
@Follower of Jesus Christ do you keep the commandments?
Heck regular citizens in Russia would enjoy our prison food more than what they receive. Lol Stand in line for hours just to receive bread and toilet paper, unless you’re a government goon.
@Jeremy Benoit
V.Puti obviously lured two time gold medal athlete to Russia enable to steal her technique and hold her hostage in trade for old arms dealer who gave all up he had to give up on V.Puti’s criminal, global, vice operations.
Republicans who want to hold an arms dealer responsible for the people killed by weapons he sold are making a Very Interesting argument
He suffered in prison, they didn’t give him foods he wanted, like strawberries.
No potato
@Zaza Tv HA Ha
The Russians tortured the american woman, did not let her smoke hashish. 1:1!
He was given lines to say.
I don’t think he gave no lines he knows how important he is to Russia🙄🙄😬🤨☠☠is what he mean for Russia
@Charles Blount facts the Merchent of Death Means what he says and says what he Means He is his Own Man He Gives Lines not the Other way around
@Sleep in <<--- Joined Oct 14, 2022. #TrollsSuk
probably, but I doubt he had to be pushed particularly hard to say them. He strikes me as a man who will do anything if it gets him something.
Bout is a smart person, unlike the American basketball player. He doesn’t need to read other people’s thoughts.
I guarantee that 95% of people that know of Brittney Griner now, had never heard of her before her capture. “Well known sports person”? lol
Give me a break.
@Sheepdog9 last time I checked they don’t allow men in the WNBA any more than they let women in the NBA.
Same for DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED WHELAN. Thief, liar, and spy. Give me a break 🖕🏾
@Mk79djwj9294 I care and you don’t speak for everyone. Sit down fragile one.
@jamie hovis If the white man doesn’t know they think no one knows 😂
@E Boyd lol. Men of all races are not sitting down to watch womens sports. This aint about race no matter how hard you try to make it so.
I dont agree with this person’s comments. Id be fine with the basketball player staying in Russian prison rather than having this arms dealer free.
He seems very well feed for being in an American jail.
5:34 “America wanted her back” ……not at this cost.
Great put him on the front lines. Then he will get real justice.
I heard what she said he said, and I am confused about why his comments are described as “bizarre.” He said what I might have expected him to say. As to why Brittany is still processing her arrival, and that dude was on TV right away, they know we did not hurt him. We know they hurt her. She needs assessment, treatment, and time.
@Diakon Hexxen They’re both home regardless of our opinions so let’s move on.
@David Nicholson , lol Oh, goodness. You *are* one for mirroring, aren’t you. Good luck with that. 🤣
Viktor Bout from 14 years under arrest in the USA, spent 15 months completely in a closed cell with no windows and there was only artificial lighting, with a concrete bed and a table. He has repeatedly complained to Russian diplomats that he is not receiving proper medical care. He has earned a lot of chronic diseases.
Classic American cynical lies! Your desire to lie is probably at the genetic level (if you remember who America was created from 300 years ago)!
Does Booth think the Americans didn’t hurt him? Hahaha. There is no harm, except for 14 years stolen from his life. Deprived of sleep, food, walks in the fresh air. Vile American liars!
The expert is the one that looks bizarre
Alien?
@Alexander Pepkin probably
Ah! Poor boot! But we must console ourselves that despite the ”bad” food, he doesn’t appear undernourished, at all.
@tuberaider should show that to those Russians on the front line. Like what?! He had food?
Guys lucky he wasn’t fed nutriloaf daily
Mind you if he had njtriloaf he probably would have felt right at home
He does compared to his arrest
I cannot speak for the entire US of A but the one time I was there, there was no way around the impression that the food was pretty terrible. I totally understand there are so many obese folks over there.
He was lucky enough to get chicken and potatoes 🥔 by the way he didn’t have to share it with an other prisoner it was the reverse for BG. He only needs one week to get ready to be in the frontline and I think Ukraine will be very happy to see him
The Russian army destroys 200-300 Ukrainian fascists every day, but Western TV is silent about it
There is nothing Bizzare there. What are you expecting him to say? He would rather remain in US prison than for him to say the war is bad. Let’s face the fact
Lmaoo Russia got a W with this one they wouldn’t give back anyone who’s an actual threat to Russia and kept a pothead who’s 0 threat to Russia just to get back an arms dealer 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
He seems to “know” a lot about our culture for a guy who spent a decade in a maximum security prison. I wasn’t aware that he’d gotten so many furloughs to get out and experience our nation firsthand.
“To know a nation and its values, enter that nations prisons.”
He knows FAR more about the real America than you ever will.
And you should be utterly terrified of that brutal fact.
He’s been in America 10 years wow. He knows a lot
Actually it was a médium security facility.
He was in a federal prison. It was a cake Walk compared to a state prison.
The cia wanted dirt on Putin ,but Viktor didn’t give any.
Should we be surprised? When are we going to stop expecting insane, evil people to suddenly act normal?
Who? Biden? 🤡
@El Terrificohe must be talking about Biden
@El Terrifico When you hate a man to the level that you have, the only enemy that is destroying you… is YOURSELF.
Viktor doesn’t look like he hated the food
Something for sure, he certainly didn’t starve
You mean the video they showed from 14 years ago when he was arrested in Thailand? They probably have better food there than American prisons.
@Djamonja It’s a prison For Fu*k Sakes! Do the crime, do the time You think a Ruzzian gulag is somehow better
How many genders do you Americans really have?
Bout can work for the Kremlin (1) organizing and supervising operatives, (2) teaching them specific skills during training, (3) contributing to and even leading sinister deals (not just involving arms, but also other supplies and services, even drugs, mercenaries, criminal partners, etc), and (4) as a great Russian “hero”/propagandist in mass media.
