This makes me feel like I can go trade in my Nissan Sentra for a Ferrari.

The Russian dude is thinking all this happened from a vape pen, what a world we live in.

[daveplayz]

Bro Russia literally traded a pen for a 7 million dollar Beverly hills mansion💀

"Victor Bout" First man alive, that has positive opinions towards the WNBA.

Best thing that could’ve happened to him was her getting arrested.

We have had people in the US imprisoned for decades due to Marijuana charges and we just traded an international war criminal for someone we do the same thing to here? WTF?? How?

[gsgs]

“ IT WORKED BOYS THEY REALLY GAVE HIM BACK “ 😂😂😂😂😂

[jaclynramirez]

If it was any one of us, they would've left us there to rot.

I’m realizing nowadays it doesn’t matter your crime you just have to know people that are in the right place 😢

[luckyu]

I love how they cut out the part where Brittany reaches to shake his hand too. She has no clue what was happening or who he is and that would have been spun into some crazy narrative. He on the other hand knew exactly who she was and what was going on.

“here’s your war criminal”
“Thanks here’s your basketball player”

[ArtOfMoney]

In Pokémon terms, this is like trading a level 1 Pikachu for a level 100 Mewtwo 😂

[hubertkabacinski]

Man this Viktor Brout is a real gangster. 12 years in prison and walks like just finished golfing. I would watch out for him

in 1945 Germany offered Stalin to exchange a Russian-captured German (Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus) with Yakov Dzhugashvili (Lieutenant) Stalin said: Lieutenant will never be of the same value as Field Marshal, Yakov Dzhugashvili was Stalin's, Older Son.

The U.S. has just displayed their weakness.

[wasidanatsali]

To leave a US Marine over there but trade a drug smuggler for a merchant of death is a slap in the face to every American Soldier. Unbelievable.

[viewer]

I bet he was holding back the biggest laugh of the century lmao

[demongamer]

This is INSANE! some basketball player who committed a crime gets swapped for a dangerous arms dealer?! Who know what that person will do now, and I bet you that if she was't a basketball player she would still be in prison no problem.

[CaptainLuckyLuke]

You just know at 0:17 they cut out Viktor Bout giving Griner a grateful smile or even a hug. He’s got a lot to thank her for!!

I am a Filipino but Griner over Whelan? I am rolling my eyes! Who's bright idea is this? I can imagine the Russians are rolling on the floor, laughing.
