Yep exactlyRussia wanted to trade her only in exchange for a Russian Arms dealer. Their biggest. As a leader of a nation I am not giving up a threat to my country for a basketball player if I know the country I am negotiating with is my mortal enemy in a sense. But man that shyt looks rough and I really hope they can find some type of exchange that will work with somebody. Because that looks like living in hell. What is life without freedom. That exist in the US to a point. But not like many other countries in the world. Especially Russia and China. They torture inmates in a military fashion.
They don’t give a shyt about her or the weed. It was a flex on their part that went wrong. They thought we would give up a dangerous war criminal for a semi popular basketball player. When we said nah that backed them into a corner, and now they did all this shyt so they can’t just let her go. Especially when media perception of Russia is painting them as a weak “super power”.
They are pretty much forced to go through with this until the end. I don’t see how she gets out anytime soon unless this War ends and there is a regime change. Or Trump is re-elected and pulls a “favor”
She fukked
