Should U.S. Swap ‘Merchant of Death’ for Brittney Griner?

[Majors]

Van Jones on CNN said that this is a generational moment that will be remembered for decades.

He get's paid to say things like that, because his audience believes she's on the only American in prison there.

Paul Whelan, ex-U.S. Marine, won't appeal 16-year sentence for spying in Russia

Was the other American I was talking about

Nothing says pander like a staged photo shoot.

Need a little help on where to post. I have a friend in jail in Russia. He needs his story to go viral.

I'd have preferred Whelan, too. But if that wasn't possible that doesn't mean you don't make the deal you can.

And how do we know it wasn’t possible, because Biden said so?

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Pootang wasn't willing to trade for the Marine guys. Nobody has forgotten about him. He is a different set of circumstances.

 

[mrorange211]

but what about what about what about what about

whataboutism is a crisis in this country lol

 

[Orange Maniac]

An arms dealer for a WNBA player. Sounds like an even swap to me. SMDH

 

[Ashevolle]

Trading a highly dangerous arms dealer for an abusive, hostile, and mentally unbalanced lesbian that knowingly broke the law?

Disgusting.

Show us on the doll where Britney Griner hurt you....

 

[Ashevolle]

Ex-Marine > WNBA

Meh, my neighbor is an ex-marine and Russia can take him

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

but what about what about what about what about

whataboutism is a crisis in this country lol

So is corruption and stupidity, but who’s counting?

There are more Americans that just Wheelen and they aren’t even being discussed.

 

[hog88]

The Whelan family says so, moron.

LOL they aren’t going to rock the boat and say anything negative about the administration, they want their relative out.

 

[davethevol]

Pathetic.

 

[05_never_again]

There are more Americans that just Wheelen and they aren’t even being discussed.

Right, because nobody knows about them and there are no political points to be scored.

 

[n_huffhines]

She’s a American hating POS who knowingly broke their laws. She should’ve been left to rot over there and served her sentence. This administration sucks if Trump was still president he would’ve left her in prison.

No, she's not.

I don't think the government particularly cares if they get Whelan back or not.

 

[n_huffhines]

So Putin wanted him back but would ONLY swap him for Griner? Or Biden found someone politically advantageous enough to trade for Viktor? I wonder which one of those is the more likely scenarios?

Putin said no before. Wonder what changed

 

[Majors]

The Whelan family says so, moron.

Of course they do, because they know he's the puppet master in all of this.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Putin said no before. Wonder what changed

You mean, besides being out of ammo, and worried about what victor "boris" had given up to "the west"?

Victor will be lucky to survive.

 

[Majors]

I don't think the government particularly cares if they get Whelan back or not.

They don't because they won't be able to have a photo shoot in the Oval Office

 

[Boston Vol]

Not as bad as the Obama administration’s Bowe Bergdahl swap. So I guess that we’re making incremental progress.
