It would be nice if some autist would catalog all Americans currently being held for crimes overseas. Then we could sort them by importance and other metrics (severity of crime, length of imprisonment, whether they are strong, courageous BIPOCs) and prioritize who should be freed first. Curious to see where this WNBA dude ranks.
To send a message that just one single black or brown no matter how low-ranking or irrelevant is worth more than the rest of the country's White population combined
Biden offers someone who's important to Russia, an arms dealer, in exchange for someone who's important to the US, a melanin dealer.
I do think it's quite stupid, because this will only encourage countries like Russia to take foreign citizens hostage in order to blackmail their governments.
We start all of these with somebody who has taken a human being American and treated them as a bargaining chip
This was an American official. Was that official Miss Teen South Carolina?
I'm not familiar with the case of the other American they are asking for who is accused of espionage, but Griner literally broke Russian drug laws. I don't think anyone disputes that.
While she may be traded for something the Russians are interested in, she wasn't arrested to use as a bargaining chip, and the US would have done the same to a foreign national that broke our laws.
That's the sensible option, so of course they'll do the opposite. She'll probably gain a multimillion dollar book deal and get speaking engagements about "White supremacy" for years.
I don't think the Russians will bite, and yes, this trade has been theory for a while.
I don't think the Kremlin cares much about Viktor Bout but the US sure as hell wants their operative Paul Whelan back, in a big big way. The US gives no shits about Brittney Griner.
Whelan is the big fish here, and the Russians have him convicted dead to rights for spying.
To recap: Whelan speaks and reads fluent Russian, came out of the military, was busted with an incriminating thumb drive, has 4 passports, and a twin brother. Classic.
Played like a fiddle. Griner is no way worth anything as close to the Lord of War. If she's going to be used for a prisoner exchange for him then it should be part of a package deal for a bunch of prisoners in exchange just for him.
why do we want him back again?
edit: failed to use his real sex
“She’s American”
This is of course if you still believe America is a country

"her"
'her'
That's a penis.

We can give them Viktor Bout in exchange for them keeping Brittney Griner.

Right because we totally take the 40+ million of illegal aliens to trial for breaking our laws…
Try going through customs with an illegal drug. That's where she got arrested in Russia.
Griner broke American drug laws too, didn't she? Cannabis is still illegal at the federal level, even if she's not being prosecuted for it.
True. It would be hilarious if the US got her freed only to jail her upon her return. One can dream.
Would have? We do it all the damn time. Mexican drug runners are arrested quite often and Mexico doesn't freak the fuck out.
It's not stupid it's by design. Biden and his (((cabinet))) are asset-stripping what's left of this country and leaving us holding the bag.
in what universe is some tranny worth this?
Clownworld
Keep Viktor in jail, and keep the bitch in jail.
Viktor is far worse than Brittney, he should stay in jail.
That's the sensible option, so of course they'll do the opposite. She'll probably gain a multimillion dollar book deal and get speaking engagements about "White supremacy" for years.
So, Biden's offering to give Bout to Putin so that Putin will keep Griner there? Sounds like a decent opening offer to me.

All this dumb shit does is encourage China and Russia to kidnap US nationals in order to "trade" them for their own criminals.
