Griner is paying for U.S. support of Ukraine.
Fact.
If not for Biden's war, she'd be home now.

No, she broke the law!
shareShe's a self-entitled bitch. I don't care if she rots in the Gulag.
My point here is more about how Biden has destroyed our diplomatic relations with Russia.
If Trump was President, Griner would have been released already.
TRUTH. NOEMOJI
shareShe did break the law?
shareSmuggled drugs. But for personal use, not for sale.
Still, if she were not a famous athlete, and she was just some average American, would the government have lobbied for her release?
But the bit about not standing for the national anthem. Fuck her.
Not only not standing for the national anthem, but stating publicly that the national anthem shouldn't be played at WNBA games. FUCK. THAT. CUNT.
shareAnd if she wants to believe that, fine. But to then beg America to help her when she's in a country which has none of the freedoms guaranteed by that same national anthem? Fucking hypocrite.
shareAbsolutely agree with all 3 of your sentences here.
shareRussia destroyed their diplomatic relations with the world. Not the other way. Dont let your hate for ol dementia joe cloud that as i see it does with a lot of americans

You can however argue that if Biden wasn't in the White House, Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine.
I don't think it's a coincidence that Crimea was invaded during Obama's presidency while Ukraine was invaded during Biden's.

Uhuh. Do you realize the Biden family has been in Ukraine since 2013 making spurious "investments"? That was a year before the 2014 coup which put Zelensky's cronies in power.
This Neo-Con war, and the Biden clan's involvement in it, stinks to the high heavens.

Nah. He shouldn't have broken the law should he. Russia has actual laws and punishment unlike the clown world US.
shareOkay, my gut feelings on Griner? She refused to stand for the national anthem when it was played before a game. Now she wants America to help her. If she gets out, will she still refuse to stand for the national anthem?
Let her rot in the Gulag for all I care.
This probably would have happened anyway. I thought there was a deal in place for the arms dealer held by the US but Russia apparently added the assassin held by Germany.
