BOUT, 55, EMERGED AS A KINGPIN IN THE GLOBAL ILLEGAL ARMS TRADE DURING THE 1990S, ACCUSED OF FUELING SOME OF THE WORLD’S BLOODIEST CONFLICTS, PARTICULARLY IN AFRICA; SOURCING WEAPONS FROM THE HUGE STOCKPILES OF THE COLLAPSED SOVIET UNION, THE RUSSIAN USED A FLEET OF SOVIET-BUILT TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT TO SUPPLY VAST QUANTITIES OF ARMS; I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER DEAL FOR AMERICA!
