International arms dealer Viktor Bout gives his very first interview after being released from US Custody in exchange for American female basketball player Brittney Griner in a prisoner swap with Russia. Note his interviewer is no stranger to controversy either, and is none other than suspected Russian spy Maria Butina.

In perhaps the most controversial part of the interview Bout has some harsh words for the culture of LGBTQ celebrated in the West.

Viktor Bout in the interview to Maria Butina for RT:

“What is happening now in the West is the suicide of civilization.
It is spreading all over the place: both drugs and LGBTQ… Now in American schools they teach first graders that, it turns out, there are 72 genders”. pic.twitter.com/VRZB7rj2x7
