Brittney Griner - Release from Russian Prison

[MikeMaillet]

It appears that Brittney Griner will be released from Russian jail in some sort of prisoner swap. I find it funny that if Griner had shown up at an American airport with cannabis oil, they would have locked her up just the same but oh, those evil Russians.

We definitely got the raw end of that deal. We took back a belligerent WNBA "star" and gave them an actual terrorist/murderer bad guy that will love to kill more Americans and others. Let's Go Brandon!

I think FoxMommaWisdom should take a look at “her”.

[MikeMaillet]

I suspect that if Griner had been a heterosexual male that there would not have been much of an effort to rescue him nor would there have been all of the phony outrage in the media.

Any attempt at arguing for gun control from the Left is done. They have zero legs to stand on for supporting this trade.

Too bad legs are irrelevant in our society today...

Mike

would they have locked her up for having cannabis oil in the US?

Absolutely. The USA has a very bad track record when dealing with cannabis users. Lives and families have been ruined because of possession of a single joint.

Was it not Kamala Harris that locked up a whole bunch of people for cannabis use in California while she was a District Attorney? Now, Kamala is singing a different tune.

I despise drug laws personally, but I am getting quite a kick out of this story

I live in Canada where cannabis is legal but if I get caught with cannabis at a Canadian airport I will be arrested.

Cannabis has been legal for several years now in Canada, without much fanfare. The supply is plentiful and cheap, which pretty well takes care of the underground supply and criminality involved.

Yes, and in way too many cases the Federal government locked up people for possession of cannabis on the pretext that the user intended to cross state borders for trafficking purposes.

I have many mixed thoughts about all this. First: I believe that if a US citizen visits a foreign country with a passport and visa that there are diplomatic agreements between the countries that will be followed. I believe that if someone visits a foreign country outside of the passport and visa agreements – they are on their own.

Second: I do not understand why this basketball player got into trouble. I speculate that there is a lot more to this story than what we are being provided in the news or by official government release. I visited Russia just before all the covid stuff and getting into Russia was more difficult than any other country I have ever visited. Even with all the previously done paperwork it took hours getting pass their security which was more intrusive than the security when leaving. It would be more difficult to smuggle in anything than it would have been to smuggle out anything.

Third: I do not understand why we traded anyone for her release. There are so many diplomatic means as well as what are sometimes referred to as non-diplomatic means to get someone released from a country where we have diplomatic relationships. Even during the cold war, we did not have these kinds of problems with Russia unless there was something else involved. Once again, I think there is more to this story.

I am inclined to believe that our current administration did poorly in this exchange. I am inclined to believe that it is similar in assuring US interest as was the nuclear treaty that the Obama administration struck with Iran.

Anyone else have Brittany griner articles all over their feed? I'm seeing several every day. The propaganda is sickening. Brittany grinner is a victim who is a patriotic, compassionate, intelligent basketball great who was traded for bout who isn't that bad..just a Russian rogue we picked up somewhere...biden has done the best thing possible...we are still trying to get Whelan...the dialogue with Russia is open and we are sooooo happy to help transition Brittany back into civil society....her first words on the plane were about meeting her rescuers.......ummm ok....china and Russia have to be thinking it's time to take us out. We are the most decadent weak arrogant people ever on the face of the earth. I mean anyone ever see the movie midnight express? Everyone knows you don't do illegal things in a communist Country and expect not to suffer grave consequences....of course here in the US it's not a big deal to do whatever you want......the bottom line is that Brittany griner is a victim and as such will get special treatment from the government and everyone should be really happy about that....lol......and the propaganda will continue until its seeped into everyones mind where it should be.....

I think that if you can believe B. Griner would have been locked up in USA for weed oil, then you can believe anything.
On the other hand, Whelan would have been a logical exchange for the arms dealer, but "logical" from this administration is not something we are going to see.
Griner would have been released for a song and a dance, if Biden had one. But he doesn't have one, he has a weak elastic shuffle.
A strong POTUS would not have made any exchange for either of them.
Not because neither is wanted back, but because the present POTUS is a weak loser and has not had a backbone since day-one. Putin would not have allowed Griner to go to a Russian prison, if someone strong were president and he would not have invaded the Ukraine. He also would not be talking smack about nuclear weapons. We also, would not be having an economy crisis, a further sliding down the immorality hill and the complete picture of USA weakness throughout the world that we now have.
This whole thing is a microcosm of what is wrong with USA politics. The liberals suck at governing and the conservatives are their buffoons.
The parties have failed us, just like Washington said they would.

I think FoxMommaWisdom should take a look at “her”.

It's a dude. The Russian TV stations call Brittney a man. Lots of interest in "Brittney" so I will try to get to a proper analysis ASAP and show markers!

It's certain that during Griner's incarceration, the prison staff noted the actual sex of Griner. I think in any jail, part of the admission is a cavity search.

Check this out. Griner is being interviewed on the plane trip home and is talking like a man, being careful not to speak too much. I bet he didn't have the female hormone drugs while in prison in Russia and reverted to being more like a man:

Maybe Putin will Red Pill America by publishing pictures of Griner's penis, so that we can get a clue about how totally duped we are about so many things.
