This will go down as the worst prisoner swap in modern history, if not all time.

Russia got a notorious arms dealer who was the most wanted man in the world. The U.S. got the 17th best WNBA player.

Part of me is still glad she got released as 9 years hard labor for a small amount of cannabis oil is excessive. When she was first released, I was glad; in retrospect, it was a terrible trade, especially since there was a marine left behind.

This is a great example of how media can influence bad decisions. This deal was done for the cameras.

When I mentioned this a while back didn’t you tell me I didn’t realize how talented she was???

@vivify said
No. I'd never use WNBA and "talent" in the same sentence.

It’s not worth going back and finding it to me but there sure is a lot of fake flip flopping for votes going on with you libs.

Here's a thread I made a year before Griner was detained called "Why the WNBA sucks":

Thread 191560

Does it look like I'd defend Griner as "talented"? Your memory is clearly trash.

To be clear, whether she was talented or not would not factor into whether I thought she should be released.

You would defend a pile of sh t if your party did, that’s what sheep do.

You do realize that just because you type these very hypocritical post about people you know nothing about it doesn’t make you correct or intelligent looking. You really need to look inward, because you look like a fool with these non stop racist post with no facts.

So it's okay for you to make hypocritical posts about me, who you clearly know nothing about?

Your lack of self-awareness is amusing.
