Russia confirms Viktor Bout, ‘the merchant of war’, has returned to war.

The lady that smoked weed in Russia that we traded a literal war mongering psycho for

Bong says what?

Can anyone else not believe we traded a literal fucking warlord for Brittney Griner

She better be standing up straight singing the anthem at the top of her lungs wrapped in the American flag after what the country did for her.

That’s the kind of news that will sell ticket.

Absolutely ridiculous.

How else would Biden pander to the African American voters??

he was set for release in like 5 years

Actually, 11 years. He was sentenced to minimum 25 years in 2012.

he WAS scheduled for release on August 2029, my mistake i misremembered it as 2027. Very few prisoners serve full sentences.

Got it. The point still stands that we released a terrorist for an entertainer who bounces a ball.

its not about that its about the US having a responsibility to save its people when they get politically imprisoned. Besides Viktor Bout isnt gonna go back and start revving up the war machine, he is just gonna become a propaganda pundit for putin

Tell that to Paul Whelan

It’s like an onion article, ate another onion article.

It makes so little sense that there will undoubtedly be a conspiracy theory on Fox News once a day for the next 5 years

Weed companies should capitalize on this and start advertising at the WNBA. "Shit's so good it's worth going to jail in Russia and getting involved in an international terrorist/warlord swap"

he was an actual spy, not a civilian. And the US spent months trying to include him in the deal but Russia wanted a spy equivalent of him to trade, which the US didnt have to give

All 3 of her fans must be ecstatic

Gross. This is Privilege on display. Wouldn’t happen for any other civilian.

Uhhhh.. who cares?? She gets to play basketball again. That’s the important thing

There are many American citizens put behind bars for literally NOTHING. This lady did something illegal and got bailed out. If you or I did the same, we would rot away.

Bill Burr, is that you? 🤭

the real punishment for what she did is a fine and a 30 day sentence. She was a political prisoner, if you think otherwise youre wrong

I agree that anything more than what you described would be too harsh of a punishment. But you glazed over the fact that if it was you or I, the government would not be trading a high profile prisoner in exchange.

I also don’t know the Russian laws, but if in Russia you can serve say 10 years, then she deserves 10 years. If you think otherwise, you’re wrong.

well I HAVE researched russian laws and it isnt 10 years. Its 30 days and a fine (sometimes a bribe). Do your research before spreading misinformation

Who?

It's the dumbest thing ever.

Yeah, they will capture the hearts of all those millions of WNBA viewers....oh wait.
