One would think after an experience like that, she’ll realize how good she has it here. But she probably won’t.

What’s hilarious is Griner will likely ignore the fact that her “privilege” is the reason she’s free and that dude is still rotting in prison.

It is total horse shite that Paul Whelan is still in prison there yet she is released for an arms dealer. It should have been him swapped before Griner.

US had no say in the manner.

This makes it even worse. Biden and the admin got schooled. Sad.

This will be downvoted to oblivion, but Bout had no business being in an American prison to begin with, unless you're willing to put every politician and security state official in DC alongside him for arms trafficking.

Getting her back to the US should happen - but not like this. You can't give up someone like Bout.

I don’t want to hear another word about gun violence from this administration. They just released the world’s most notorious arms dealer for a nobody who actually did what she was accused of and deserved to be in prison.

It should’ve been him. But our American leadership has no backbone.

Then you opt for none when it comes to releasing the merchant of death for a basketball player that’s too stupid to know the laws of a country she’s in. Unbelievable what this admin did for a cheap PR win

Your options are a) we frick you in the arse b) nothing at all.

Biden opted for the arse fricking

1000% correct. The worst part was the fact that she/he has been going over to play for years and SHOuLD know the laws over there. Or she thought she was above the law cause she was a star over there.
