Nothing to discuss. Putin can keep anti-American & racist Griner.
can we just give putin his little orange bitch trump back….
Do you have any idea how many times our citizens have been imprisoned in other countries without any hope of release? Why is it that this woman is a high priority over others? You break the law you go to jail or worse. Same rule no matter where you are in the world. Let her rot in Russia. This is exactly why taxes are flawed. They use our stolen money to do things like this instead of putting it to good use to help out people stateside.
Middle schoolers getting scammed for juuls had better deals than this.
It’s interesting to note this Clown takes the knee ,disrespects the Flag, and now she wants the Government to get her out. She should do the 10 Years in a Russian Prison, because Self Absorbed,selfish jerks like her, it them or whatever she wants to be called realize how good she had it here in America
Who cares about his release its his death sentence trust me
But, I think Russia should also hold out for the Russian tank commander that shot the guy on the bicycle talking on a cell phone. Like said before, a cell phone can be more lethal than a hundred hand held weapons…think the Geneva Convention should address this.
Trouble is, the US(democrats) wants Griner really, really, really bad,..Whelan?,..aah, maybe not so much. Russia knows this and is no doubt chuckling, and will probably milk this for all it's worth.
People still locked up in the states for weed.
Not something that should be made public
Russia is trash
The American people don't want her back. Leave her there.
Wnba in exchange for arms dealer? how is bad or good?
She will be responsible for the death of millions. . .not that it would matter to her. . . .She’s a “star”. .regular lives don’t matter
She belongs exactly where she is…
How much time would she'd get in the USA for drug possession?
12 years in Army Aviation. That knee was offensive and now she accidently packed weed and got busted. Sorry but breaking laws on accident is still breaking laws.
The guy SELLS WEAPONS TO ANYONE WITH MONEY. A LOT OF WEAPONS.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!!??!?!!
Can't stand trump and I really hope Biden doesn't run again but if he does this trade and runs I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM. This is a bad deal. As far as the fellow soldier goes. It's the job and it's not always a good job…….
Leave her there, she’s a criminal. Let’s stick with our draft pick until someone worth it comes along.
If they trade her and she comes back to America I hope she gets the crap beat out of her daily she doesn’t like America in Russia they hate blacks they hate lesbians they don’t like American so how’s your racist rant going now cupcake
Let the anti-Amerikan knee taker stay.
even a child knows you dont swap arms dealer for basketball player…..just F U vagina boy blinken
This is the worst trade since Obama traded the deserter for money and five terrorist who later turn around an attacked our soldiers killing them in Afghanistan.
I hope she loses her ability to play sports because now they know she’s a drug user.
SHE IS CONNECTED TO THE HAVANA WEAPON. INTERESTING THEY WANT TO TRADE A MARINE ., ALONG WITH HER
I’m gonna be honest , this is silly . She should have checked the law before going . I recently travelled from Eastern Europe to Middle East , my friend gave me a food item which is a powder mixed of different spices . Since my friend didn’t know all the ingredients used in it and I didn’t wanna take a risk , I had to leave spice mix behind just to avoid risk . This risk is everywhere even America doesn’t allow everything . Know the law before traveling even if you have travelled to that particular place many times cause sometimes laws change.
OH I SEE YOU BLINKIN. RUSSIA WILL TAKE THE DEAL.
Keep that He.. . She… Or It.
She is an athlete. Leave her there let her pay for her crime
this is fuct
Blinken is NO match for Lavrov…Blinken has NO balls…period!!
Blinken is NO match for Lavrov…Blinken has NO balls…period!!
Leave Griner there. The people have spoken.
Leave her stupid ass there
She hates America. Leave her sorry Azz there!
We lived in a world that rewarded Child Molesters & highly Abusive men and gave fur floor length coats and 7 carat diamond rings to young confused drugged up Satanic Prostitutes with fake million dollar plastic faces and hacked up body parts who carried Black Books and Plan B rxs in their handbags with muzzled mothers with coward fathers who rode their spotlight in fear that their sickness might be cured. “FALL OF THE EMPIRE OF SILENCED IDIOTS” #NOTOURDREAM #WOMENOFTHEUN #ANTISLAVETRAFFICKING #ILLALIENS
-AMBASSADOR EDWARDS 🇺🇳🇺🇸🕊
Yeah, bring her home, we'll show her what we think of her…until she leaves forever.
"… 1st time since war in Ukraine…"
And, THIS is what Blinken calls Lavrov for? A washed-up, woke WNBA criminal???
What d'ya do for innocent Ukrainians dying from a war funded by corruption?
Nothing, apparently.
NO JUSTICE FOR U$ Pot Prisoners FIRST, none for BG. Why should she be different than all those in US Prisons for pot? Celebrity? So what?
Keep this pos in Russia. America does not need it
She’s the one who protested the national anthem & didn’t want it played at Any Games.
Leave her/him/they/them where they’re at! Ever hear of Poetic Justice
During the Trump whoever threatened was subdued like the Rocket boy…. Now everybody is playing with US.🤣 and the people are busy ROE v/s WADE. They will learn when "ROE and WADE WEEPS"
We need to leave those criminals in Russia and let Russia imprison them until their sentences are fulfilled !!
A terrorist for a basketball player, makes perfect sense.
Let her rot… america owes her nothing
