Well, to turn the weak US/strong Russian narrative on it's head the US showed they care about ordinary citizens and victims of injustice while the Soviets showed they valued freeing an arms dealer that exported death to terrorists in the developing world. If I were watching this from the outside I know where I'd want to live.
Bout was detained in 2010 and received a 25 year sentence of which he served half. He is no longer anonymous and his arms dealing hey-day is 22 years in the rear view mirror. He's unlikely to travel outside of Russia ever again. Not justice but no one was going to get Briner freed without an unsavory trade of some sort.

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
