I would not exchange her for a dangerous arms dealer. I could understand if she was US military personnel illegally detained on trumped up charges but she literally broke the law in Russia. There's a US teacher there right now who JUST got sentenced to 14 years for the same shyt. We only gonna let the celeb go? What type of dangerous precedent does this set? Russia and other countries could simply seize another celebrity and demand similar exchanges.
yea he needs to be added to the deal if they giving up the arms dealer

If y’all don’t know Viktor Bout then look him up his story is crazy. Had a lot of activity in Africa

I’m surprised they made this exchange given his record


Bout was nicknamed the Merchant of Death and Sanctions Buster for his reported wide-reaching operations, extensive clientele, and willingness to bypass embargoes.

On 2 November 2011, Bout was convicted by a jury in a Manhattan federal court of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and officials, delivery of anti-aircraft missiles, and providing aid to a terrorist organization, and was sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment.

all i know is Griner wasn't "wrongfully detained"

She brought illegal drugs into russia. For people to use the phrase "wrongfully detained" in Griner's case is a slap to every prisoner who was ACTUALLY wrongfully detained. The ones that didn't break any law whatsoever


.....but we know people don't care about those innocent normies :snoop:

the fact that an arms dealer who was directly involved in the deaths of innocent people is released because of Griner's is dumb is kind of inexcusable. Unfortunately she will likely be seen as some kind of hero, and be met with open arms, with the narrative being that "justice has prevailed", and that makes me sick.

When I was at the gym and seent them talking about it on CNN and it said “She wasn’t read her rights” I’m just running on the elliptical like “nikka, you in a whole different country expecting Miranda Rights?” :wtf:

Not that I want her locked, I’d prefer they just let her out cuz it’s more than obvious what they doing. But it’s extremely disingenuous to act like she ain’t put herself in this mix AND like you said it’s an insult to the people actually locked up wrongfully or even the people that were convicted but should be compassionately released. Mutulu Shakur is rotting away with stage 4 cancer over his politics and nanbody said nathing but nawwww Britney Griner is the one that’s been wronged here. Her American rights are being violated by Russians in Russia, yall….:shaq2:

all facts. that you gotta know the right people. At the ESPYs they were talking that "say her name" shyt like she was wrongfully murdered by the police. She put this on herself bringing a drug that she shouldnt have had into a foreign country.

Oh is lopsided when you getting two prisoners for one

brittney griner is pro american athlete not some harden criminal, her life more important than keeping that piece of shyt arms dealer in prison over here
her life isn't in danger, it may be derailed with a jail sentence, but she's not dying unlike the people who died due to the work of this arms dealer. you're really advocating for a dude who supplied arms to terrorist organizations, that have taken the lives of countless citizens in africa and the middle east, to go free in exchange for a hooper? sit your silly ass down.
