Basketball Player/drug smuggler exchanged for International Drug Dealer

[printcraft]

So is the merchant of death, one of Putin‘s buds, or does Putin want him dead?

Terrible trade either way, they should’ve gave the Rooskies Megan Rapinoe.

Does “act of war” mean anything to you?

I generally agree, but what pisses me off is that this administration clearly picks and chooses what type of American is worthy of help and what type isn't.

Drug using basketball lesbians who hate America = good, straight male Marines who serve America = bad.

I don’t necessarily agree with the last part. Politicians are self serving. How does anyone even know who she is, what she does, or what she says? Nobody watches the wnba. The media pushes these things to get clicks. Without the media boosting her voice I don’t think she ever gets any attention when arrested. I doubt she gets traded for. But they did and now the democrats try and show their voters look what we did vote for us again. The Marine probably would only get a small 2 minute discussion if released and be forgotten. I think Biden cares about the marine but I don’t think he’s pulling the strings and the ones who are think this is a bigger “win” and care more about “winning” for themselves than they do one person. The marine should have been included and a non negotiable part of the deal.

Of course, what context do you mean?

And of course the ZomBiden waited until after the Georgia senatorial runoff was called to announce this swap.

I'd like to think this was timed to avoid any anger among voters but I decided that the dum@$$es in this country, all 51% (and counting, it seems) of the population, wouldn't have cared anyway.

Toxic biological weapon Megan Rapinoe...

Probably won't read this in US media.

White House reached a deal brokered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the United Arab Emirates to swap her for an arms dealer known as the 'Merchant of Death'.

Just 48 hours after America dropped a lawsuit holding MBS responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

...Maybe this is xenophobic of me but I think we should do whatever we can to get American citizens in non allied countries out...

Perhaps those American citizens should not go there in the first place. Then they would not need rescued. In addition, respect other countries laws (Britney/drugs and KoreaBoy/vandalism).

Kind of like going into the deep wilderness without the ten essentials and a lot of outdoor experience.

She’ll be honored as a patriotic hero saved by Biden with the talk shows, and probably a book deal.
Are we really sure she is a she ?

I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure she isn't a she.

I think this falls under the stupid games stupid prizes umbrella. I traveled to Russia many years ago and at the time I felt safer there unarmed that I would in most cities here. Their rules were explained very well and I played by them so I had NO problems while I was there. For my money they could have kept Brittany for the duration..

Absolutely disgusting move by Biden! Seriously, exchange a dangerous arms dealer for some idiot basketball player who clearly broke the laws of a foreign country? And a basketball player who has no respect for the United States? Is she more valuable than a former United States Marine being held for several years? NOT! Give her back and get the Marine!!!

Reports are that the Russians would not trade Whelan.

I definitely would not have made this trade though.

It gets even better. After releasing an International arms dealer, he went and gave a speech

Too bad he's not as concerned about the thousands that die every year from the poison flowing across the southern border.

Biden says there are more important things than the southern border, so it keeps simmering on the back burner.

NBC news us now reporting that contrary to what our lier in chief claims, Russia offered the release of the Marine or America hating griner, and biden chose griner

Karine Jean-Pierre confirms that Biden traded Merchant of Death for Brittney Griner due to her intersectional qualifications

In case it wasn't already clear based on the celebration of lefties and the bragging from the Biden administration, it has now been confirmed by the White House press secretary that Brittney Griner was saved from Russian prison because of her intersectional value.

Not subtle about their reasoning.

So we're anti Russia invading Ukraine but we'll drop a murder case against the Saudis so we can give an arms dealer to Russia in trade for someone who knew the rules and broke them instead of a Marine? Just trying to get the facts straight before I flip my flag over...
