Brittany is a black famous basketball player..the other person is a old white guy with a American military background..he will never be coming home early if he ever gets to come home.
I think the media will be surprised that the expected welcome home for BG, won't be so welcome.

People!!! Please look this up.
Imprisoned former US Marine speaks from Russian Jail. Please, look up people. And, they traded a loser for a killer. WOW
Merchant of Death for Athlete
5 Terrorists for 1 Deserter.
We're terrible at hostage trading.
Stop it, since the WNBA inception the WNBA has never made money. What business would be allowed to survive losing $10 million dollars every year! The NBA still covers the WNBA’s short fall every year. And the women protest that they don’t make enough money. How long must men subsidize their league?
AMERICANS STAY OUT OF RUSSIA CHINA AND THE MIDDLE EAST!
Paul got caught being a spy. Britney got caught with a vape. Their situations are not the same. You get caught with 4 passports and attempting to buy confidential Russian info for 70k cash from a FSB agent well….I think we can all agree you’re probably screwed.
I am furious that Griner was released at all, especially in a trade off for a renowned arms dealer and instead of a patriotic American such as Paul Whelan!!! Didn't Griner thumb her nose up at the American flag and for what it stands, and then knowingly enter a country carrying contraband, and when arrested wails for help to said insulted country??? Hypocrite!! God bless and prayers to Mr. Whelan and his family — they are far more merciful than I!
She.was.guilty.as.charge.she.should.have.stayed..there.and.drive.the..russian.crazy.
Nice video as always but here is my problem I have been making losses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading demo account is just like trading the real market… can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do
Crime she didn't commit? She did commit a crime. She is not innocent.
WNBA players make more money than most people in the country. If they want to make more money improve the product . I am basketball fan and don't care for what they put on the floor. There are things they can do but decline. They will never get NBA money until they get ratings. Generate revenue and get paid. right now NBA has subsidized WNBA since it's inception.
its a never ending scenario, once the one yer rooting for is out there will always be someone else holed up…just be happy for the fortunate freed or just let them all rot
Just stay out of Russia.. simple
We are all Targets
Boycott Russia and all things Russian.
Chuck when you vocalize the beginning of your sentences they are clear and audible. Your lower baritone by seems to be trailing off becoming inaudible toward the end of your intros, your questions to reporters and your comments. Speak up with more articulate wording..especially towards the ends of your sentences. Thank you.
I believe the down poll results for President Biden are manipulated and untrue. Feeding the Maga GOP's evil narrative. The handling of U.S. travesties, leftover tragedies and mishaps from the past administration by President Biden have been Superior as well as his empathy and resolve for ALL AMERICANS. Just like the predicted 'red wave'; pollsters can report whatEver they will.
It was very important to make this negotiation of Whitney Grinner and get her home ASAP. The others can be and will be decided in further future collaborations. 10 years in US prison this Russian lost an enormous amount shitszzzpah. He is returning to Russia but is a different and changed criminal mind/ mind.
Your league doesn't make a profit and you're demanding higher wages. Why don't you actually make a product that people want to watch and maybe you'll get paid for it. You're subsidized by the NBA which you keep leaving out that your league has never made aprofit. And now we've traded one of the most wanted men in the world for a woman who committed a crime in another country. Plain and simple Paul Wheeling should have came home not Britney greiner #britneysucks
#teamBG❤💯💪
Biden seems to aid terrorists-all that military equiptment he left in Afghanistan, giving money to Putin for his pipeline; now this
Now, can stupid foreigners stop going to countries where they KNOW they can be used as a political pawn given that our countries are at logger heads with each other. I wouldn't go to Russia, Iran, North Korea and a few other countries because our country has big issues with these countries. Grow brains! If you're an American, do not go anywhere within reach of of these countries where you could be detained. Sorry but that's the honest truth.
She was NOT wrongfully detained.
She should have been home long ago.
She wont.
I wonder if she will honor her flag now?
Make a living…. lol…. Do something else. Women basketball does not generate the profits that men basketball generates. Hello….. that is the bottom line.
She should not have been released. More people are locked up in the US for lesser convictions. What she did was illegal in Russia. Even if Russia does not enforce their law. But it is still illegal. Point blank….. free the prisoner in the USA for lesser accounts. I have no sympathy for her. Lets all see what she does and do from now on.
Bad mistake…..smh for a terrorist??
America America we are in danger they traded a weed head a drug addict for The merchant of death it's going to be a movie about that shhhiiii well I guess I'll buy a free Paul shirt
