A deal that just won't work.

""The View" host Joy Behar has a suggestion — give Russia Mitch McConnell instead of the man they actually want. This week, it was reported that an offer was made to Russia to exchange Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms trafficker known as "The Merchant of Death," who is serving a 25-year U.S. prison sentence, (in exchange) for the release of American citizens Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan, after both were wrongly detained (by Russian Authorities)." Credits to Andi Ortiz, The Wrap.

My posit is that the deal isn't feasible from Putin's point of view. After all, he already owns McConnell.

per the imogee, it would be funny were it not so obviously and completely true.

1. Bout will be drafted to fight in Ukraine.

Makes you wonder how eager he is to leave.

2. I saw that today and thought the same thing.

Putin needs Mitch here more than he needs him in Russia.
