  1. Russians ain't right 🧠

  2. Why was she wrongfully detained? Did the Russians plant the drugs or something? Funny how they can't explain it at all

  3. Putin has been collecting
    Yanks & brits
    He's preparing for negotiations.
    To what end i don't know.

  4. I've noticed a lot of people noting her shoulder star tattooes as 'commie tats', which is incorrect. Russian gangsters wear those star tats on the front of their shoulders (and usually knees) to signify they do not bow before any person (basically their version of a %1 biker). Not only did this make her a target for the Russian government, but also the Russian underground, which considers this a severe insult. If she is sentenced to any length of prison, we may not see her ever again due to this. Getting those star tats, then going to Russia, was a very foolish move on her part.

  5. Exactly how is he/she/they (which pronoun do I use if I don't know what she prefers to be called?) being 'illegally detained'?

  6. Hmmmm, i wonder if she still HATES AMERICA.
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    MAYBE SHE'LL STOP PUSHING COMMUNISM

  7. And in Russia the prices of gas, heat and food are still low and affordable.

  8. America gave her an opportunity like no other country but she turned around and dissed America, took a knee, rebuked the playing of the National Anthem. She obviously hated America. So let her stay TF in Russia!!! Good Riddance!

  9. wait….the WNBA is still a thing?

  10. Russia don't like girls trying to be boys!

  11. Weed laws are why every government will fall. You really think you can cage a person for posessing a plant??

  12. Wasn’t Joe Biden the steady hand at the helm we needed? How come his administration can’t get her home? I guess he is busy with his runaway inflation, gas crisis, empty food shelves, no baby formula, a crashing stock market, and escalating crime. When will we see the steady hand at the helm? Where is CORN POP dammit?!

  13. Keep her. She hates America anyway. America is looking really really nice right about now isn't it Britney? POS…..give her all of the 10 years and another 5 for kicks.

  14. Just think of the horrible social injustices she would be facing if she were in the US now. She’s much better off over there!!! I wonder if she’ll still kneel now????

  15. She shoulda known the laws in russia so stop crying

  16. Not just 1 cartridge liar, she had many cartridges liars

  17. can we make alex ovechkin not go home. as payback

  18. Good!!! Keep the WOKE KUNT!!!’

  19. I have just one question for everybody who says she’s guilty and should spend 10 years in jail…
    Did you say the same thing after watching Kyle Rittenhouse murder 2 people and severely injure a third person?
    And please… spare me the fair hearing talk with the singing judge that threw out the weapons charges in a murder case.

  20. This is scary. I feel that they just want money and lots of it. Free Brittany!

  21. There’s others that have been there way longer I need to come home before her!!!
