[quote=tickyul;63914787]From what little I have read about Russia and drugs, Briner could have easily scored whatever she wanted when she got in-country.

Maybe Griner was so hooked, she could not bear to possibly go without for a few days!??!?!../QUOTE]

Not likely. It seems that it was a foolish and very costly oversight, leaving a small amount of weed in a pipe.

She's not gonna be released. This is all gonna fade away soon and she'll be rotting away. ;-)

I just love how an obnoxious America-hating woke "celeb" basketball or other is stuck in Russian prison for 9 years.

Doubtful. Talks are already underway and I suspect the bad trade will be made.

After that she will become another topic in this absurd culture war we are fighting.

One more reason to not watch the news.

Maybe but don't bank on it. Russia has no driving need to make a trade. Right now, Putin does not want to be seen as making deals with the US. He might be hesitant to trade a bag of potato chips for a can of soda at the moment. This arms dealer has long been replaced and holds no value for Putin and the Russian public are not demanding his release. The arms dealer might be a smokescreen. Putin may be trying to get something easing sanctions or reducing arms supplied to Ukraine but Biden could not publicly make that deal.

Yup! If Trump were President, she'd be out in a month but Biden? Nah, it's gonna be awhile.

That seems a little vindictive, I understand you don't like her but 9 years is a pretty harsh sentence especially in a labor camp. I guess that is a reason to reoice.

It is a reason to laugh for sure to see one of these losers take it on the chin and made an example of, yes.

She hates our country and the police, so now she’s been rewarded with not having to ever hear our National Anthem again for at least 9 years!! Why not rejoice? Can we send Kapernick and virtually every movie/music star over there too with drugs? Or every single woke person in this country?
