How I do know?

He did it already. Remember 2017?

Not even close. China vs Russia. We are beholden to China and Russia is our mortal enemy.

Keep up with the propaganda.

According to the propaganda - Trump and Putin are best buds. Trump and China were not friends... trade war... tried to ban TikTok... banned dealing with Huawei... the China virus... I am keeping up just fine.

Trump would have gotten her out a long time ago.

Well she did screw up with her cannabis. Take a bullet into Mexico and get caught with it. Similar situation. It was her call, she lost. The fact that she’s gay is not helping her in Russia. They are most likely going to make an example out of her.

No sympathy from me.

She's an America-hating, flag-kneeling hypocrite. She knew the laws and risks, and chose to violate them.

Now she wants America to come to her rescue.

Maybe she should have thought about before bashing America and kneeling for the flag.

If Griner was smart, as soon as Russian invaded the Ukraine AND Biden was taking “sheet” about Putin, she should not have been trying to renter Russia…. Especially, with drugs. And yes, the Russian government isn’t too keen on homosexuality, which should have been another clue.

She was arrested weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine although many people could see it was coming. I notice she hasn't tried to play the race card. That would go over with Russian prosecutors like a lead balloon.

Thousand of Americans are arrested abroad every year. Is there a reason why I should care more about her case than the others?

Maybe Biden can get something done. But since Russia is heavily involved in Ukraine, and they don't even show concern with removing their own soldiers' bodies from the battlefield, I'm not sure if Brittney is high on their list of concerns.

Their country, their laws. The US doesn't rescue citizens who go abroad and violate other countries' laws. Who doesn't know this?

I was listening to something on Alexa today and they talked about the Gulag - some guy was recounting his time in Russian prisons and it was not pretty.

I feel so bad for her.

The allegation is that she had hemp oil on her bag? I mean, come on . . . that is ridiculous that they would imprison her for that.

I pray she comes home, safely, in good shape.
She had marijuana vape cartridges. Legal in AZ. Illegal in Russia. Don't know what she was thinking... you don't go to a foreign country and violate their drug laws.
