  1. YOU KNEW THE LAWS IN RUSSIA, PLEASE STAY IN RUSSIA, YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE THE USA ANYWAY

  2. Only in America, law breakers get full coverage

  3. She is trapped in political games, what a waist of life time.

  4. She doesn't stand for the national anthem, but now she wants help from the government.

  5. Wow, Russian prisons sound very much like our prisons here in the US

  6. Biden only cares about famous people. If she was not a famous basketball player he would not give her the time of day. She clearly guilty. She should stay in Russia and serve her 9 her prison sentence.

  7. I'm biracial, but the Black part of me wouldn't carry cbd oil in America, let alone Russia. I am very leery of all humans. Trust no one. They'll use her to get what they want from us. I don't see us making that swap with them. We gone leave her there before we get bullied.

  8. Prisoner swap? This Viktor Bout probably wants to stay in our prison system. It costs $90 K to house an inmate in the US, which includes his 3 squares a day, a warm bed, all the medical treatment he wants, PlayStation, free gym membership, recess every day like in elementary school, why would he want to go back to Russia?

  9. She hates America, so her new situation will be an improvement.

  10. Juwanna Mann playing b-ball in the gulag for the next 9 years,lol,enjoy the borscht

  11. jesus fuckin god christ in my god damn mother fuking ass, who cares she’s sentenced and god fuckkkkin dammit lets see some news bout her wife getting anal fuckd or any nude pics off her?? im curious cus i need some wack of material??? DM me if theres any

  12. He forgot to apologize to all Americans for hating America and for disrespecting the flag and national anthem. Maybe he will end up loving America and appreciating all the freedoms he took for granted after toiling for the next 9.5 years in a Siberian prison labor camp.

  13. The prison guards should play the Star Spangled Banner in his prison cell from morning till night for the next 9 1/2 years.

  14. Siberia labor camp prison. It’s just what she asked for she has hates and disrespected our country and took a knee ! Now she can take a sledgehammer and make big rocks into little ones.

  15. To think of all the drugs putin gave to his fellow men, women and children to cheat the world in to making them believe they are something they are not.

  16. Baaaaahaaaaaaa……dont smuggle drugs to Russia

  17. She gets to go to mens prison, because she is a dude.🤪🤣😂😅😂

  18. Imagine all the people with weed charges sitting in jail in the US. Then Biden trades the merchant of death for an oppressed anti-american millionaire while you ROT.

  19. She gets to have a book deal and movie later

  20. Guess Russian jails aren't vacation spas, as many people want them to be..

  21. Don’t be an entitled American hating idiot!

  22. I guess she won’t have to worry about putting up with racist America anymore 😂😂😂😂

  23. I bet she doesn't think America is so bad now.

  24. That's what happens when you don't respect foreign law. Don't feel bad for this nigga at all. She knew what she was doing.

  25. Wonder how many time the female "bubba" got to her already. Kneel to that.

  26. To answer the question posed by the videos title who the hell cares she basically admitted to committing a crime so she should accept her punishment and everyone else should stop whining about her situation it's not like she's in prison for nothing and it's not like she's innocent yet we're willing to release a known terrorist arms dealer for her that is the most unfair unreasonable prisoner swap I've ever heard of do we happen to have a russian citizen convicted of drug possession in one of our prisons by any chance I think that swap would be as they say much more fair and equal

  27. if Biden is going to fight to get her out of Russian prison on THC charges he better darn well legalize THC in United States
