  1. The thing i think as a non american is noone has a problem because griner getting released but the problem is that they released a person who has the potential to kill many americans in exchange for her.Its like giving a Ferrari in return for a chevy.

  2. In a few days from now Predictions
    1. one of the popular US politician will be hospitalized.
    2. New virus will originate in US. announcement & Panic will prevail.
    3. US Dollar will hold strongest position in world market for the last time.
    If this prediction happens please do visit churches or temples or respective prayer places to seek Cosmic help.

  3. My guess is that this guy may have been doing some clandestine work for our government and got caught. It isn't as if our government would just come out and admit that.

    I'm guessing that there's someone else in American custody that the Russians want back and the Biden administration doesn't think it's worth the cost. Just a guess. Keep in mind, there's plenty of spy activity that takes place by both sides and often it's the case that someone gets caught.

    It's also entirely possible that the media driven story is the accurate version I just remain skeptical.

  4. You and Biden dont care. Whelan, an actual Soldier and hero is left behind in favor of bringing home someone that BROKE Russian law and acts entitled. Griner hates her own country so of course their the one that Biden wanted released. F this Adminstration, their all TRAITORS.

  5. Would've been better to bring noone at all n not give away an arms dealer just cuz of that y'all gotta stop trying yo take our guns then you wonder how they end up on the street maybe cuz y'all cause that

  6. Paul Whelan has already served four years in prison. America need to bring both of them home. Brittney Home after Nine months prison. Was this deal equal nope. Viktor Bout is free to!

  7. …with what leverage? You have no leverage to conduct a swap for Whelan. You just gave away your only leverage. These are empty words, and they know he's never coming home now. These cheap political points shouldn't have been worth the message they just sent to the entire country and everyone serving in the military that they will leave you behind, even though you risk your life for them, and they will let you rot in prison to bring home somebody who shows open disdain for the country that gave her wealth, fame, and freedom.

  8. BS. If she were a. Male, b. Straight, c. White, d. Your average Wall Mart employee, we wouldn't have ever heard her name and she'd still be there. This is happening for her because everything down to the crime ticks a box on this administrations agenda and the optics are perfect for them. It's an opportunity that Paul Whelan didn't offer and that's why he's still there.
