Well, damn. This trade makes the Russell Wilson trade between Denver and Seattle look good.
That trade was good... for Seattle
Fr 250M is crazy just for him to play like Sam darnold
Hope they release every person in the US currently in jail over minor drug charges...
I hope so too. But most of them are held on state charges (meaning the President's pardon isn't applicable), and good luck getting Republican governors on board with that.
Truth is, Russia offered the Marine, Paul Whelan, who has proclaimed to be innocent, for Merchant of Death *4 YEARS ago and the U.S. stated no deal. Then when Biden illegally took office, again no deal. Oh but now we have a black gay lesbo basketball player that despises the U.S. traveling abroad with illegal drugs that Biden campaigned against for years, with his “Three Strikes your out” agenda, low and behold we have a deal to trade an arms dealer terrorist that works for Russia for this piece of crap.
Sure, only rule is they have to go back to the neighbor"hood" they lived in when convicted....
Not to self, don't go to another country with drugs thinking "I'm an American".....
@@ragnarulrichson778 will you say this after one of your future (or current) kids gets caught smoking pot.
No more gun control! Why should my ARs be illegal if we are releasing arms dealers!
The ultimate WNBA trade, never before has a player been so wanted that we trade “the merchant of death” for her.
what about Whelan?
Disgusting, very disgusting, we left a marine in Russia for a lesbian drug addict. Has this idiot so called president done any thing worth praising ?
Actually the trade was brokered by Saudi Arabia. That's why Biden gave the Prince immunity in the Keshoggi murder.
Just don’t forget that one of the top sellers of soviet weapons in Africa is Ukrainian state
Bout is at least loyal to his nation of birth.
More than can be said for Britt.
A stoner for a murder is that a fair trade ? 🎅
It is not. This is a low day for America.
Really? Stoner? If this the bar u set for the 'low' of America's actions then a well written book on the HISTORY of this country is in order🙄🙄so dramatic
@@sunnymarie2060 obviously a stoner with no brain cells if she doesn't know what is in her luggage screw up waiting to happen . 🎅
@@sunnymarie2060 I'm a stoner and yes Brittney Griner is a stoner. I don't know anyone who is actually offended by that word.
@@sunnymarie2060 this is the worst deal in the history of prisoner swaps
Russia got someone that will help them with WW3.
We got someone who will help a women's basketball team make the playoffs 🤦♂️
Bout doesn't have the arsenal *in* his body. most of his connects were compromised when he was. Russia's changed dramatically--esp since invasion--while he's been away, & Putin's already scoured for weapons.
i do hope whatever team Griner's on makes it..don't watch ball like that tho
She's a dope addict who should not be allowed to play in any professional sports.
A reward to irresponsability. Great example America.
homie will really do anything to please his voters
Instead of doing the right thing

Many of us Americans completely abhor Biden and his anti-American administration. Afghanistan, the border, attempting to force experimental injections on citizens, truly a disgusting president and I believe a truly bad person.
I don't want Griner to be locked in a Russian prison, but for fucks sake we can't give Russia back one of their most dangerous, high profile warlords for this WNBA player.
Seriously horrible deal, I feel bad that other countries are seeing this and think that Americans support it. Believe me--many of us do not.
You people make everything about race. So sad and highly disgusting.
ed, not just that. But, an arms dealer responsible for countless suffering and deaths? All while demonizing/slurring 99% of gun owners who never misuse their guns, as if mere gun ownership makes them have something in common with the 1% who do?
If she had any integrity she would refuse this trade, speak against it, etc. There are other americans held hostage by Russia who have been there longer. Their only handicap is not being the right race, gender, preference. She's the trifecta of for Dems. Worth a mass murderer. She should be outraged at be used that way, associated with the release of that murderer, and cutting in front of others held hostage longer. I predict all we're going to hear is joyful cooing about how wonderful Biden is.
....but you want the spy released?
I hope they interview her and ask her about her previous statements she made about the country on social media.
such as?

The only wnba trade talked about…. Ever.
I'd say this is the worst trade deal we've ever made in history of mankind.
No the worst trade is when the Jews wanted to free a murderer named Barabbas and kill The Lord Jesus who did nothing but good. That's the worst trade ever done and can ever be done
I'll say that you are a dumb ass that don't know the facts. This was a perfect trade. Viktor Bout was set to be released from federal prison in a few years anyway and upon completion was to be deported back to Russia. You are a dumb ass who does cannot name any prisoner trade made in US History or mankind. You are just stating talking points your dumbass heard from someone else. Research and think for yourself, dummy.
@@danielpires8940 you are approving the trade of an actual terrorist for a petty criminal..... I and others don't need to speculate if you are in lack of something- I know you are at this point.

This was a trade for little or nothing because he would have been deported to Russia after his sentence was completed. Now he leaves a few years earlier and we get Briney home now. Its you who lacked something, facts!!!!
@@danielpires8940 God Bless you.
We traded an sworn enemy of America for another enemy of America.
It’s ridiculous. We traded the most notorious arms dealer of the last 100 years for a freaking basketball player and the state department says he’s no longer a threat to the US or it’s citizens???? That’s like saying it’s ok to stick your hand in a Tiger’s mouth that hasn’t been fed in week and then claim it won’t bite it off. What utter bulls**t.
Sounds fair to me. She's still anti American.
no way they realised such a dangerous man for her lmaooooo you can't bring drugs into no country this is messed up but a marine who defends the country yall can't get free this is a joke.
How many black females are smart enough to see they are being manipulated?
@@mijacologymijacology4631 Dont make it about Race mate i'm black and they'ed the same for a white woman, here in her case however she went to russia of all places cuz of greed, she wanted more money...she needed to do her damm time, lets face it she got out because she's a woman....and the women rallied and pressured old man biden into the dumbest trade in goverment history, but uk know the real reason he's still there, its because he's an expendable {man} no one gives af.....where's the protest for him?? he's been there how long?
Can't believe they chose Griner. Completely motivated by politics and not at all by morals. Biden is an ass puppet, same as he has always been.
The one comfort is that Biden will go down in history books as the worst president in the history of America. There are so many things he has done which have qualified him for this title, and neglecting an innocent marine for a (guilty) WNBA star just added to his list of embarrassing failures.
Marine who was dishonorably discharged for larceny and other crimes worse than what Britney griner did.
But both should be brought home
If this was a choice of one or none, then it should have been none. You don't leave a man that took the oath to protect our country behind. This is the worst trade ever!!!!
Dido, Do you hear this Biden ?, never leave a marine or anyone Behind.
I don't believe any marine would endorse releasing the "Merchant of Death" for their freedom .. they are willing to die for the safety of this country and releasing Viktor is a HUGE threat to America
marines come last in america
You are 100% right about the worst tradeoff ever in U.S. History
Bad trade for sure but I heard Putin didn’t want to let the former marine go for Victor exchange. Which obviously meant he values the marine more in terms of bargaining. So it was something or nothing. Bad trade for sure still considering how evil that guy was.
Wow and you left a marine there to rot.
Biden administration is soooo stupid.
Lol does that surprise you? America is a circus right now
Are you kidding? Do you think Russia is that easy to negotiate with? Get over yourself!
Do you not understand the statement " one or none"
He was actually discharged from the Marines for "bad behavior," including larceny. Additionally, he was born in Canada, and holds four different passports in total; he is not the squeaky clean "American son" people are trying to portray him as.
I feel bad for her, but trading a sports star for a arms dealer is ridiculous. She's in her 30s and should know better than to bring CBD/Marijuana to a foreign country that has strict laws.
She went over there multiple times from what I heard she knew but also aren't we using the word star a little strong here it's like saying a Broadway actress is a star ya but only to people that follow Broadway in a deep way
She's a HE
This is beyond grotesque. America needs a new word for shameful to describe this president.
as shameful as this? Trump:
Tried to buy Greenland.
Wanted to nuke hurricanes.
Doctored a hurricane forecast map with a Sharpie.
Attempted a coup to stay in power.
Absconded with thousands of classified documents, lied about it and refused to give them back when the feds asked nicely.
Sent unidentified federal officers to Portland, Oregon, to abduct protesters and spark a conflagration that could be used as a pretense for implementing martial law.
Ordered peaceful protesters tear-gassed so he could pose for a photo-op with a Bible outside a church.
Tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt for his 2020 campaign.
Asked Russia for help in his 2016 campaign - and got it.
Had a weird affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin. (Remember the Helsinki summit?)
I
Trump is the shameful word you're looking for.
Biden didn't give a damn about getting people out of Afghanistan, when it was his fault they were trapped.
This was completely Griner's fault, for bringing the hash vile, but he went out of his way to bring her back.
Weird priorities.
It will be laughable if democrats tout about gun control ever again after releasing this monster.
WTFISM?
What about the man has been there for four years nothing said about him
Who cares about him? He isn't black or a lesbian and actually served America in the Marine Corps. instead of hating it.
Trump didn’t do anything to help him. So he has nothing to squawk about.
No swap allowed by Russia. Very sad.
He's a straight white man so the democrats cant get anything outta saving him. Besides they gonna need all the lgqgtab votes before Trump wins in 2024.😂

I’m surprised it took you this long…
Dont b like that ___i think America did its best __d "ball "___wasnt in dem ""court"
Basketball should be ban in the U.S.
I think many of us are. I would rather have both of them free, although I disagree with Griner protesting our national anthem I don't think she should rot in a Russian prison for ten years.
The disgusting part is that Bidens administration has been actively working to get Griner out of that prison. Not so for Paul Whelan, who seems far more deserving since he was actually innocent and patriotic. Many of us share in your disgust.
Come home and probably still talk crap about America shouldve left her too rot
I better never hear another word about gun control.
Why? A Russian who lived in foreign countries, supplying illegal arms to foreign countries, who was arrested in a foreign country, where the USA asked to be extradited to the USA.
Thanks for proving you are uneducated about the subject.
@@supchief9 what's your point exactly?
shut up
I was thinking the exact same thing!!!!
Democrats just released a mega arms dealer back into the world. Never again should they talk about gun control.
Don't wanna hear a word about firearm control from this administration, or his party again after this.
DISGUSTING!!!!

@@annahanson1511 a pothead for a terrorist...DISGUSTING!!!
Now Griner can make millions writing a book about all of her oppressions and sell it to the 99.999% of humans who don’t even have 1/10th of the privileges she has.
Hahah I said the same thing to my wife. She is already richer then the average American now they will make a movie and documentary about her and she will make more money off of books. Any average American they wouldn’t do anything to rescue but for Brittney because she was a somewhat of a celebrity they will send rescue for.

I love my country. I know we are not perfect but this was a slap in the face to every man and woman that took the oath to protect us and uphold the freedom we enjoy. Also how the hell do you free a Russian arms dealer when Russia is at war looking for more weapons to use against Ukraine. None of this makes any sense to me.
Bet she won’t be kneeling down no more people don’t know how free we are should of brought back are soldier back that saluted and fought for are country back no sense
What you said has NOTHING to do with why she got arrested.
@mark wred he was an American, in the marines. Do your research before blah blah blah b.s.
get the marine home?? you traded a basketball player for a ARMS DEALER? I think Russia won this swap
You think the USA had a choice? Start blaming Russia.
What is Biden doing about Americans imprisoned in America for similar offenses?
He freed anyone being held on Federal level charges for marijuana only. However, that amounted to exactly zero people though.
Absolutely nothing lmao! He thinks it's a "gateway drug" 😑
We got a wmba stoner and Russia got “the merchant of death”. Clearly could’ve used Trump to make a better deal than this.
Why would they release a WNBA star before a marine? Or vet or whatever I forget exactly what he is.
Educate yourself about the *marine*. While in the Marines he was convicted of "multiple counts of larceny" attempted larceny, three specifications of dereliction of duty, making a false official statement, wrongfully using another’s social security number, and ten specifications of making and uttering checks without having sufficient funds in his account for payment. He was kicked out via a *Bad Conduct Discharge*.

This is sad she doesn't like this country but yet ask for it's help..what a useless president
Imagine seeing things like Brittney Griner and Jussie Smollett and still believing that America has a systemic racism issue instead of a systemic elitism issue.
sooo you're going to use 2 examples of black people to back your bias instead of the thousands of other black voices that go against it? Yeah, you seem like a really intelligent person that is capable of assessing situations fairly and without bias!
@@chickenceiling Does the fact that they are "black voices" automatically make them right?
Would hearing thousands of "women voices" mean that whatever women say is automatically right?
How about hearing a thousand "white male voices"... if thousands of white males say a thing, does it mean that the thing must be right?
The problem with your argument is that it is completely based in subjectivity and group identity. "Group X says this" so that thing must be true for Group X. You cannot apply this logic universally because your "voices" can only say things that are subjective by definition.
What is the answer to this? Looking for facts grounded in empirical data is a good place to start. Certainly black personalities like Griner and Smollett are overwhelmingly supported by mainstream media, but not just those two examples. LeBron James who criticized police for shooting a woman who was about to stab another, received no blowback from mainstream media. Nor did Ketanji Brown-Jackson when she refused to define what a woman is.
OP is saying: there is no systemic bias when people of color are elevated in consideration by every institution, including mass media, education, companies/corporations, movies/film, and many others. Which of these institutions has systemic bias?
45 million Blk Americans and you think things are different for two people and that controls the experiences of an entire race of people. How about you just stfu dumb ass.
@@willashland4597 no, that is not what OP is saying. He's saying that systemic injustices do not exist becaus Britney Griner was released from prison. How stupid of an argument is that. Britney Griner is a celebrity and does not live the same lives as everyday black Americans.
So we left a marine there but took the stoner!
That was my thought. Shows where this country is🤦🏽♀️
His freedom was not on the table. I think you should go get your hearing checked. I think you don’t understand the words that are being said in front of you..
Sad to see another uneducated person. Yes, while Whelan was a Marine, he is also a Canadian, British and Irish citizen. While in the Marines he was convicted of "multiple counts of larceny" attempted larceny, three specifications of dereliction of duty, making a false official statement, wrongfully using another’s social security number, and ten specifications of making and uttering checks without having sufficient funds in his account for payment. He was kicked out via a *Bad Conduct Discharge*. Why not tell the truth about the "marine we left there"?
L America , should have stayed all 9

Go get him out then🤣🤣
How dare you call her “it”? You are disgusting‼️
You go and get him out since you’re a disrespectful POS
Why would we do this if you smuggle marijuana products into the United States the minimum sentence is 6 years why does she just get to get away with all this?? Because she played basketball? If you bring drugs to any country you should go to prison what the hell
Sadly this common sense doesn't apply to Biden Administration
In related news, Paul Whelan needs to call up the organization that issued his White Male Privilege Card and request a replacement; his isn't working. He has been in jail for 4 years on a 16 year espionage sentence, and a black lesbian woman gets traded for a high value prisoner after only a few months in jail.
🎯
So true. Our government is destroying and dividing this country, and it will be forever divided.
Paul Whelan is convicted of espionage which is a high level crime unlike simple marijuana possession. There’s no first come… first go in these type situations….you can’t even get that at your local DMV! Of note* commenters like yourself and journalist alike fail to mention that Paul Whelan had a bad conduct discharge from the military so maybe he has had his white male privilege card suspended/revoked!
Bout was no high value prisoner. He was no more violent that the thousands of Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6th
@@danielpires8940 you are provably right, an arms dealer is no more violent than Trump supporters, so why trade him for Griner, is she more violent?. If he sold arms to the Trump supporters would you still think he was no more violent than Trump supporters?
Everyone, this is why you vote.
Why haven't they been working to get Paul home before Brittney was detained? I didn't know anything about Paul or any other Americans that are being held, prisoner. The news media really hasn't been covering their stories. I only found out about the other Americans being held because of Brittney. This is not right.
Because there not black lesbian athletes......

Why do you say that Americans who've broken the law in foreign countries are "being held hostage"? It is the responsibility of any person who travels abroad to be aware of, and to respect, the laws of the countries they are visiting. If they do not, they are criminals, and will be treated as such, just like in the United States.
