The problem with this is the exchange was done with a country that doesn't really care about diplomacy.

Optics are the driving force in politics. Biden will use this for the ‘24 elections.

lol, this isn't going to be an issue in the fukking 2024 elections, no need to reach.

Victor bout was and is supporting conflicts globally. Definitely not a like for like trade.

How is he supporting conflicts globally now?

I just found out that Bout is an ethnic Ukrainian though. What if the USA released him as a sleeper agent to funnel Russian arms into Ukraine?

 

[beenz]

Lopsided trade.

very much so.

 

[Stinky Diver]

I'm personally against it on principle, but the one positive thing I can say is that at least he served 14 years and she only served 9 months. So the USA basically traded 40% of his sentence for 90% of hers.

The guy was getting out in 6 years…if you can make the deal now you do it. I don’t understand why it’s so complicated? People are acting like we’re giving up someone on a life sentence.

We were literally going to let him go in 6 years. There would be little to no outcry when that happened, guarantee.

yes, now lets get that revenue sharing for the WNBA so no other female has to travel abroad to make a living playing basketball.

 

[tremonthustler1]

So will the GOP.

'Biden swapped a basketball player for an arms dealer that conspired to kill American agents'.

Let's keep it a buck. They never cared about Brittney Griner. This was an easy ass "what about" pivot. The GOP thought she got what she deserved.


Americans are just mad they swapped out a Black lesbian hooper over a vape for someone they could relate to a little too well.

The true problem fr fr

 

[pete clemenza]

Glad she's finally free

The backlash tho

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

When I wrote my objections I ain't even get to the part that a country with a disproportionate amount of guns on the street and mass homicides with automatic weapons would let go an arms dealer who specializes in sales of automatic weapons. Is this Viktor dude responsible for all of that or even some of it? Probably not but the principle of the fact is kind of crazy. Celebrity worship in this country is nuts.

What the fukk are you even trying to say with this bullshyt?

Nobody is saying her life is less important. It’s actually more to the contrary. It’s more about the release of someone who was a threat to US citizens and it paling in comparison to what Russia had to give up in return (they didn’t give up someone who was of a comparative threat to them).

Griner is a nobody to Russia. They just used her as a political bargaining chip.

Well then now those citizens can dust off their gun collection and pop off when they see him instead of their usual targets.
