This is basically how I feel about it (and I know who Viktor Bout is).

His nicknames are tough
The Merchant of Death ain't going back to Russia and settling down. the US can't really win this because he'll do something crazy later and then every Republican is gonna be "YOU LET HIM GO IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT BLACK LESBIAN?"
We think US laws are worldwide defaults.the SCOTUS in her home country just said cops don't have to read rights to citizens and she's expecting that courtesy in russia
inject the arms dealer with a gps chip that tracks his location before sending him off

I'm gonna be real, I don't give a fukk about Viktor Boot. Everything you wrote, the US has done as well, above ground and in the black market.
I also think Russia are playing a political game here, but also that Griner was stupid for not making sure she was clean entering a foreign country. shyt, you can't even do that flying around the US.

doesnt matter what the US did, the prisoners are not of equal threat/gravity/etc. you don't let a murderer go in exchange for a shoplifter, add on the fact that it's celebrity driving this deal, it looks worse. but as i stated in my OP...maybe this whelean guy is really who's worth the swap to them

Equivalency is relative to what the market dictates. You know that.
Most Americans don't know or give a fukk about Viktor Bout, but more care about Griner.
She's not a hooper she is a united states citizen and yes, she's not a criminal in the United States
getting the citizen behind enemy lines is a bigger priority then some punk ass arm dealers, him being locked up and stop the arms trade on the black market
you dumb ass nikka
They getting two prisons in exchange for war, it's an exchange
United States do the same goddamn shyt, all over the world
calling her just a hooper, damn you weak ass c00n, weak ass nikka

BG ain’t worth all this trouble.
Black women are gonna vote dem regardless. This shyt won’t move the needle for Biden politically.

You really think this will improve turnout for Biden among black people? Most women don’t even watch the WNBA. Going off that alone you can see most of this is fake outrage from people who aren’t even aware of the entire situation

i'm not posting for most of america. and i don't see this as a win for the US/pres's office either way, so it's a moot point on market prices there. but if it's worth it for the 2-3,000 people who care about this/follow it, i guess.
takes a lot of effort to post this poorly...you got it lil man
I honestly don't see how they're even thinking of doing this deal considering the fact shyt has the potential to backfire and go really bad. You'd be naive as hell if you think that Viktor Bout is going to go on the straight and narrow path once he's exchanged. He's going to go back and do the same thing that he was doing before.
Let some shyt pop off with him even some semblance of being involved in it and watch how those Republicans clamoring for Griner to get released change up and use it for their agenda.

You may not, but a large and very misguided section of black people think this is a win and hope it leads to Griner coming back home, and that means something to the media cycle and Biden. That's why the market matters; you can't just dismiss that.
I agree with you, tbh, but this shyt got out of hand with the defense of Griner entering a foreign country with hash oil.
It takes an effort to be take on cac talking point and comparison
just a hooper, who do you think you are, goddam you bytch made
She is a United States Citizen a civilian in hostile territory with a country we are basically out war with, plus they are getting another american citizen back
americans lives are worth more than a punk ass arms dealer who they can catch or kill some other time, what's important is getting the Americans back
