    Well, we traded a bunch of the Taliban's best for one deserter.

    One thing I do appreciate about this country is that on the individual level we are usually willing to go to bat for our citizens in entanglements with hostile powers like this. They may be American idiots, but they're still American. We don't abandon people because it's inconvenient to get them back, or because they did something stupid to get in that situation.

    Russia has several other Americans that need to come home before her.
    She needs to wait her turn!

    Only if you take Griner out. She's been slamming the US and now all she's whining to come back? Hell no. She thought she was above the law.
    This Russian has been responsible for the killing of hundreds if not thousands with some of them being Americans. And we're going to let him go back to business as usual for a basketball player in a second class league? **** that

    Im betting if this "chick" were a trump supporter there would be no attempts at bargaining for her return.

    Well Griener and the Russian merchant of death have one thing in common. They both hate the US. Hey Griener, I guess all of a sudden, the US isn't looking so bad when you are incarcerated in a foreign country, and you want us to come and bail you out.

    They should bring her home, revoke her citizenship and deport her to the country of her choosing. I'm thinking Venezuela would be a good fit.

    She got 9 years. If you are too stupid to check on the laws of the country that you are entering, I cannot feel very sorry for you.


    It almost feels too convenient that she would be on the wrong side of 40 at the end of her 9 year sentence. Effectively, the Russian court has said, "if she stays here, her playing days are over."

    I don't see why it's our governments responsibility to get her out of Russian jail.
    ESPECIALLY since she clearly broke the law. Its not like the movie Tank where they planted drugs to get a conviction. She clearly screwed up and needs to pay the piper. She shouldnt get special treatment because she is famous.
