Good.
This is not good. We traded an arms dealer responsible for many deaths for a worthless U.S.-hating POS.

This is a good thing. Taking your freedom for granted isn't justification for rotting in a third world dictator's labor camp. Hopefully this will be a lesson for her and others who travel abroad.

Why aren’t more than 50 former intelligence officials writing a letter condemning Biden for swapping a terrorist arms dealer for an America hating drug smuggler while leaving a retired Marine to rot in a Russian prison?

I am in this camp. It's one thing if she jaywalked or ran a stop sign. It's another when she purposly brought drugs (not matter the amount) into a country that she's been to previously already knowing what the laws are there.Agthatbuilds said:
I dont like us citizens breaking other countries laws and then expecting special treatment because they are American, a pro sport athlete, or a class B celeb.
You go to someone's else's country, respect their laws.

Many of you are playing right into Russian propaganda. This is exactly what they wanted, people getting butt hurt over the optics of Griner going home while Whelan stays behind. The Russians weren't going to release the former marine at any price.

I can't wait for the movie.
This is a happy moment for the United States!
God Bless President Biden.
Biden just traded the guy that inspired “Lord of War” for Brittney Griner, who didn’t even make the cut for “Space Jam 2” pic.twitter.com/eR9gQN7jRB

Notably, the Griner-for-Bout exchange leaves retired U.S. Marine Paul Whelan imprisoned in Russia. Whelan has been in Russian custody for nearly four years. He was convicted on espionage charges that the U.S. has called false.
This is unreal.
