Viktor Anatolyevich Bout[a] (/buːt/; Russian: Ви́ктор Анато́льевич Бут; born 13 January 1967) is a Tajik-born Russian arms dealer. A weapons manufacturer and former Soviet military translator, he used his multiple companies to smuggle arms from Eastern Europe to Africa and the Middle East during the 1990s and early 2000s. Bout gained the nicknames the "Merchant of Death" and "Sanctions Buster" after British minister Peter Hain read a report to the United Nations in 2003 on Bout's wide-reaching operations, extensive clientele, and willingness to bypass embargoes.

[@connie419]

Sorry, but anyone who owns owns 0.7 grams of marijuana vape oil loves their pot; this much can easily give a person 30 or more marijuana "experiences". The user will most likely keep this most cherished product in their pocket, or possibly a bag, BUT THEY DEFINITELY KNOW WHERE IT IS. And then throw in the activity of traveling to RUSSIA, where she knows it is FORBIDDEN! No no. Sorry girl. You thought that there was no way you would get caught, and you were most likely very successful in your smuggling in the past. Sorry, deserved anything she got. A person is VERY stupid for trying to pull this off. And the biggest reason for that is that marijuana withdrawal is not that bad, at least compared to some other drugs. Some laws are just not worth trying to break.

[@RandomUsername010]

Poor Brittney Griner. It is absolutely heartbreaking what she had to endure. She should have been able to continue enjoying her love of basketball, the love of her wife and living her life. Not to be locked in some cold, cruel heartless cell and treated less than human. Even grown men shudder in fear at the thought of going to a Russian prison. Miss Griner truly is a strong and resilient woman who endured one of the worst experiences of captivity and lived to make it back home and tell her story. Truly an inspirational example for any woman, and even any man for staying strong under a harsh, brutal and seemingly hopeless situation.
