SEMPER FIDELIS LMAO
Just say it…..he's a white male. That's why he's still there.
How on earth could they trade a basketball player with no respect for the USA for an arms dealer that supplied our enemies?
You should ask ukraine what they think about america releasing this guy back to russia and on them? They shouldn't be too happy with this trade that they will soon start paying the consequences for.
All his brother need is the algebraically gang behind him and also a celebrity status.
Whelan's Family are candid about the Brittney Grinder release from abhorrent, terrorist Russia, instead of their love one. It's the Media Condemning this Administration extreme efforts….
America Prosses the News with Care! The President gets no credit for anything… always trash.. You, the people begin to see who you elected for president, don't allow Media despicable manipulation to make up your mind
I pray for this family.Trump should be trade for Paul.
It just doesn’t seem safe to visit Russia under no circumstances. They can accuse anyone of spying and use them as a pawn for their benefit.
This is ridiculous. Brittney Griner knew she was bringing drug's into Russia. If anyone should be staying at the Russian Hilton, it is her. The other American's sitting in the Russian prison facilities have done nothing and Russia knows it. This is nothing more than a political move from the Democrats to secure votes in the upcoming Presidential election and this is why the Govt fought for her release. Lets just cut the cra* and tell the truth. Russia and U.S. political game's are a joke and are being played by irresponsible children. Still praying for our U.S. Citizen's to be released.
Free Paul ,he’s a marine
I don't know who needs to hear this! Stop relying on the government and savings. Invest some of your money if you want financial stability, having several streams of income is not a bad idea
Wtf the butch didn't even play for the US.
Lester's big head😀😃😀😃😀😃
A big win for Putin! He needs this guy to get more weapons as Ukraine is draining the Russian military arsenal! Biden paid too high a price. Bout was worth at least any five Americans! Not just one high profile basketball player!
The answer to this situation is obvious. The US must capture & imprison a Russian spy to swap for Whalen. The only draw back here is outing a Russian spy they know about and have been surveiling and wiretapping for intel.
🙏
The Biden admin is pathetic! To release the Russian arms dealer/murderer for Brittney instead of Paul Whelan as well, or Paul first, is disgusting. She broke the law by bringing weed there, she protests the national anthem and flag here…Paul is a marine who would give his life for our country and has been wrongfully detained for years there, yet Biden agreed to swap Brittney for this dangerous Russian!? And left Paul behind instead of telling Putin there's no deal unless Paul is included…now Biden lost leverage over Putin, Putin got who he wanted and has no reason to let Paul go… Great job Biden. Your admin seriously can't do anything right!!
The slave master was a greater thug than victor bout ever was-but america continues the systemic thuggery of those dirtbags. How many black lives r being lost daily at the "hands" of this countries systemic thuggery? Let's stop pretending america is a country of godliness!👁️👁️👁️
Remember God loves you♥️!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏🙏.
He is coming back soon😊….
Trump never asked Putin to release Mr. Whelan with all his contacts with Putin..Missed Opportunity
I hear Brittney griner is releasing a new album. The title track is…
God bless America
Why wasnt the marine traded for that arms dealer? Why doesnt Washington care about its soldiers former or present
So does this mean the Federal government sees marijuana legal. Anyone can grow it. Carry it, smoke it. Travel with it on planes? To any country?
This administration really sucks.
Why don't they play what his brother said from prison ? I think you should all look that up and listen to it instead of what they are feeding you here
