Loving all the geo-political experts recently. Great fun.

such a weird world we live in, when the “value” of an international arms dealer is equivalent to that of a professional athlete

What a horrible trade.

Definitely a bad trade, but not sure I feel it was a "wrong" trade. Such a complicated situation.

In today's episode of horrible leadership... we traded a guns dealer for Brittney griner. While we have half a million of our own citizens locked up in our own country for similar charges

We literally freed the "merchant of death" while we are supposedly sending billions of dollars to fund the country Russia is at war with

We will see if griners attitude towards America has changed

Just preemptively moving this one.

i don't pretend to know all that's involved here. From a layman's perspective it seems like a poor trade. Unless, of course , you're Griner's family.

Probably not. Can't say I blame her if it doesn't - and I'm not a black female lesbian.

Oh for fucks sake lol. Is there an opposite of potd

What about the millions of american families that are broken up because of similar weed charges here in the US

And what do we predict the "merchant of death" is going to do once released. Russia is at war right now. How many people die from this?

On a serious note, Paul Whelan should have been included. Hopefully, this is in the works too.

Too many black Americans speaking out against biden and voting democrat lately. Biden had to do something to boost the popularity there.

I can see them now. Sitting around waiting on the NBA players tweets about how Brittney is free

So, black Americans are critical of Biden but will vote for him over the other guys. Good to know.

I said it seems like a "poor trade" unless you are Griners family. Thats a controversial take?

The black vote has been critical for the democratic party for decades. They've always targeted that voting block. Percentage wise its been slipping tho.

I think biden got the lowest percentage of the black vote of any democratic presidential candidate recently.

Ironically "racist" Trump did better with minority voters than Republicans usually do

Many Americans beleive they were tricked into voting for biden though. And shortly after him getting into office have come to regret it.

If you review the past few years. You'll remember how big tech companies promoted blm and turned racial issues into political fodder. The campaign somehow blamed racism on Trump and promoted biden as the cure to it

Biden did another prisoner swap with Russia in like April or May right..? A marine that was there was swapped for a Russian who brought cocaine to the US.

It won't stop with this swap and it didn't start with this swap.

Everyone needs to chill a bit.

I dont beleive he was. The trade was 1 for 1. Paul Whelan is still in Russian custody.

So instead of making a deal for a marine. An actual soldier. Biden traded the "merchant of death" for Brittney fucking griner
