Brittney Griner exists in the consequences-less world of sport and entertainment. There are no real-life repercussions. That's why she can have a crack pipe in her luggage because up until that point when Russian police interrupted her make-believe coddled world she had never had to live in a world where you have to face actual consequences.
Viktor Bout exists in the world of direct murderous consequences. People, absolutely, will die directly because he is back out on the streets. There is no doubt whatsoever about that. None. Lot's of people. Lots of arms that would not have otherwise wound up around the globe in the most dangerous places in the most dangerous hands because of Viktor Bout. A whole lot of that will be Ukrainian blood, too.
Folks, that's the bottom line here. People want to shuck and jive and talk about Brittney being home with her wife and all that Christmas stuff like this is the pretend world on the Hallmark channel, but we mixed up and traded an incredibly dangerous man that is going to kill a lot of people for a marginal entertainer that is of no consequence at all to real people in the real world.
Blood is on Joe Biden's hands and that is undeniable unless you too are in the consequences-less world of Brittney Griner.
