- Viktor Bout is brokering weapons sales to Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, per The Wall Street Journal.
- Bout was released in a prisoner swap for Brittney Griner after a decade in US custody.
- Houthi rebels have been attacking commercial shipping in the Red Sea since last year.
This was such a bad prisoner exchange.
Not if you got traded out of Russias hands.
Maybe we can get Brittney Griner to start selling arms to other rebel groups in Yemen, that might make up for it

Such a terrible trade and it just encouraged putin to lock up more folks for more trades
