It was going to be, until people like lebron and the media came out saying they wasn't doing shyt. So they leaked negotiations

Yeah the media, Griner's wife, Lebron forced their hand. You had people on this forum saying that the administration wasn't doing shyt because they weren't updating everyone on what's going on behind the scenes. The US has had many prisoner swaps over it's history and it's never been broadcasted like this in the media. It's always been behind the scenes until it happened.

The constant need for validation that something is happening doomed any potential early deal but in all honesty Russia was likely never going to respond favorably. They fukking hate the US right now as we're the main military supplier of the nation they're currently warring with. People need to understand the geopolitics going on right now is the biggest impediment to any type of deal being made.

My boy is an attorney and researched the times given as per “russian law” and said it was an average 5 years.

And in his words, “the Russian sentencing practice is pretty much on par with how the USA sentence black folk for the same crimes as white folks.”

This shyt has really gotten stuck on stupid on here…

Even the SUGGESTION that Lebron James, Michael Jordan or ANY black athlete should put their lives on the line trying to negotiate with Vladimir fukking Putin is a moron. Plain and simple. The fukk is WRONG with some of ya’ll nikkas?!!?


The simple truth is that this is a responsibility that lies on those within the United States Government. If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can’t negotiate the freedom of an American citizen being prosecuted on what is most likely trumped up (falsified) charges then that constitutes a failure of our Commander In Chief. PERIOD.
Fuhk u bytch.. this 2022 it's other ways to talk without physically GOING THERE. Russia is at odds with the government, not exactly the people. Its why Ali was able to talk to Sadam Hussain and vice versa. Its why Rodman could step foot in North Korea. Celebrity holds weight. Ive given examples so stop fuhking talking like shyt unheard of you fuhkin bozo.


It was a suggestion. Not something that must be done.

It was never going to be a potential early deal anyways as there Russia was going to start negotiating until after the trial, which is why they didn’t bother responding to the deal prior. It makes sense when you think about it as they had to go through with the trial even if they wanted to accept the deal for optics in their own country. It was like the Gelo/China situation in where they didn’t want the optics to make it seem like they were more lenient towards citizens of other countries instead of their own and run the risk of making a mockery of your legal system.
