    Some weird reactions. What do we need with a washed up arms dealer we've had for 10 years?

    Hell, I hope they get a deal for Whelan too. I have no problem swapping POS Russian criminals for American prisoners.

    How about the American who’s been imprisoned for 4 years who fought for our Country vs shitting on it

    This should have been a 2 for 1 deal if we were going to do it.

    If he's home by 24 he's going to make a lot of money doing the circuit and commercials.

    That wasn't the deal that was available.

    So let person A sit in prison if person B isn't also freed? What?

    You guys wouldn't tell Griner's family that she should be locked up right now. This is armchair bullshit.

    What do we need with an apparently very dumb women's basketball player?

    And a biden supporter not seeing any issue isn’t surprising at all

    Not as bad as the Obama Administration’s Bowe Bergdahl swap. Looks like our government is making incremental progress.

    Pretend to be a reasonable middle position, someone believes it somewhere. I am sure of it. Why didn't the previous administration get him out in 2018, 2019, or 2020?

    Your fellow citizen was being detained unjustly overseas and is free. Shame on you for making it about her job or how intelligent you think she is or her perceived value.

    I just realized Whelan was a big trump supporter. no more questions necessary.

    Could you answer why he was not released in 2018, 2019, or 2020? We had this arms dealer since 2010. So why wasn't this trade made before? I didn't even know he was a Trump guy. That makes this question even more pertinent.

    I'd ask him why he thinks he wasn't released in 2018-2020. I am sure someone has an answer since Griner being released in a 1 to 1 deal is apparently not okay.

    If I roll to Honduras today, buy drugs and get arrested, I’m [uck fay]ed. I don’t believe “intelligent” would be a label given to me if I did.
    Honestly don’t give a shit if she’s here or there. Bad trade is a bad trade. Really no debate about it.

    We have a multitude of fellow citizens in the United States being detained unjustly that we could have freed instead of trading prisoners with Russia. If she were a 5'1" woman that couldn't play basketball, no one would care. Shame on everyone for making it about her job and fame.

    I really don’t either. Here, there, wherever. The rationales are entertaining and really just how silly it all is from not standing for the anthem to weed and imprisoned in Russia then traded for someone called “merchant of death”. Sounds more like a skit from a Leslie Nielsen movie.

    Of course, of course.

    BTW - get me her family's info. I'll gladly and happily tell them he should have come home before her.
