Right. We don’t need think pieces on this, it’s clear as day why they did that shyt.
- Happened before the war
- Shes a nobody. Her value to the Russians is minuscule
Uh before the war and before the USA sanctioned Russia that's costing them hundreds of billions of not more dollars
What does "you're a part of the problem" even mean in this context?
Regardless of how someone feels about this, what does the average person have to do with this at all?

I think there are serious intentions of getting both her and Paul Whelan out, a trade will have to happen. It's the reception to the trade that will have the biggest impact, because Russia will want incredibly vile people in exchange.
Should be noted, the current Republican sentiment is that Griner should be imprisoned, and this is in line with remarks by Trump in a recent interview on the topic.

The WNBA star was sentenced to nearly a decade in Russia prison for smuggling narcotics after being caught with less than a gram of cannabis oil. Right-wing commentators are gloating

So when the trade happens expect a big focus on the criminal records of the Russians used for the trade, and probably little to no care for the fact that Griner is made free.

I'm not a Republican and I don't think they should trade an illegal arms dealer for someone who knowingly took weed on an international flight in a country with strict drug laws. Sorry

Understandable, this is a heavily politically charged situation, the focus on getting Griner out is based on public perception heading into elections. So my assumption is that the leading sentiment on the Democratic side is to free Griner. That's why someone like Paul Whelan, who has been there since 2018 since being sentence to a 16 year imprisonment for espionage is largely irrelevant and has been up to this point.I'm not a Republican and I don't think they should trade an illegal arms dealer for someone who knowingly took weed on an international flight in a country with strict drug laws. Sorry
I would say, her punishment nowhere near matches the details of the case, she is simply being used as a high profile pawn. Hell, they probably hit her with those years just to send that point home.

The arms dealer only has 5 years left. Do you think Russians trafficking arms illegally stopped when he got arrested? Lmao you’re simple. As soon as he got caught up the next man was up. Russia just trying to show they hold their goons down.I'm not a Republican and I don't think they should trade an illegal arms dealer for someone who knowingly took weed on an international flight in a country with strict drug laws. Sorry

What's lost on a lot of posters here is the U.S. already made an offer to Russia to free Griner. Apparently Russia has not accepted the offer. Other than what the U.S. has already done... what else should be done?
You want the U.S. to go to war with Russia? That's not gonna happen because of Griner
