The Real Lord of War

A court in Thailand is set to rule on whether to extradite to the US Viktor Bout, a Russian businessman known as the Merchant of Death. But his fate is far from certain. Washington believes that Bout is the biggest gun runner in modern history, helping to fuel wars and armed conflicts around the globe.

@manny298 Indeed. And many governments (especially the US) may well have used him to transport some shipments - that were kind of embarrasing to have the US President's fingerprints on it... it's absolutely dangerous to mess with him, but I think Moscow has given the OK to Washington on this. I really think they agreed on sealing his fate and distributing his areas of operations and deliveries to others. I think this is another strong reason. He was so good, he almost became a monopoly.

I don't think it is a good Idea for the U.S. to mess with this person because the U.S. sells more arms and does more things to create wars..
