Should U.S. Swap ‘Merchant of Death’ for Brittney Griner?

What an unbelievable standard you hold Lebron to. Because he's not willing to forfeit his salary for women's equal pay, he's discredited as someone who cares about others in any way?

You guys can't give 2 ***** about human suffering but judge the people who are giving a **** because they aren't perfect (and because they don't express the right amount of care for all human suffering). Maybe you're not Christian, but this isn't Christian behavior. Where would Christ be standing on this one?

Christ would have told her to keep illegal drugs out of Russia.
Sorry this was low hanging fruit.
 
He does spare a million. Way more than a million. Now what?

Do you hold anybody other than Lebron and the people you hate to this standard?
Don't you think that Brittany's freedom can be bought? I'm sure if king LeBron offered up $10mil and a free exhibition of his skills, she would walk free tomorrow. I mean what is 10 million to a billionaire?
 
I hope her dumbass makes it back to American soil as well, but I wish some energy would be put into the other US citizens locked up in Russia. Only the privileged *ehemm*, oppressed I mean, get war criminals traded for them though.

She broke the law. She is a horrible person who has abused at least three partners physically and mentally. She isn’t worth trading a known terrorist and arms dealer for

None of that matters in this.

I give about as much care for Griner as she would for you. I care more the suffering of the Uyghur workers than I do for Lebron speaking about world issues while profiting off their slavery. Pick and choose. like Lebron.
 
Does anyone know the standard of her crime in Russia? He will get out eventually, but gonna serve some amount of time
 
Yaroshenko is a criminal, but Bout is a much bigger fish. Bout’s real-life exploits are actually more unbelievable than the movie loosely based on his life, the 2005 Nicolas Cage film Lord of War.

Nicknamed the “Merchant of Death,” Bout is a flamboyant arms dealer in his mid-50s with Russian military training. He became a billionaire by raiding the armories of the collapsing Soviet Union in the early 90s and using old Soviet cargo planes to transport his black-market weapons to conflict zones around the world.

Bout’s criminal genius has been hailed by every international law enforcement agency that went after him. He was smart enough to mix his weapons shipments with more legitimate cargoes, posturing as a humanitarian who just wanted to sell cheap food to starving Africans. Meanwhile, he was selling guns to every bad actor from al-Qaeda and Hezbollah, to both the Taliban and its enemies in Afghanistan.

Bout was bagged in Thailand in 2008 while trying to sell weapons to Colombian terrorists who were actually CIA agents in disguise. He was not just selling his murderous Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) customers a few pistols — the deal included “800 surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), 30,000 AK-47 firearms, 10 million rounds of ammunition, five tons of C-4 plastic explosives, ‘ultralight’ airplanes outfitted with grenade launchers and unmanned aerial vehicles.”

“As the evidence at trial showed, Viktor Bout was ready to sell a weapons arsenal that would be the envy of some small countries. He aimed to sell those weapons to terrorists for the purpose of killing Americans. With today’s swift verdict, justice has been done and a very dangerous man will be behind bars,” then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara said after Bout’s 2011 conviction.

The U.S. government’s charges against Bout included “conspiracy to kill United States nationals, conspiracy to kill officers and employers of the United States, conspiracy to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles and conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organisation.”

Bout made it clear to the undercover CIA operatives who arrested him that he understood his weapons would be used to kill Americans in Colombia.

“We have the same enemy,” he told the ersatz FARC terrorists, boasting that he had been fighting the United States for the past “ten to fifteen years.”

Rumors Biden May Trade ‘Merchant of Death’ for Brittney Griner Intensify After Sentencing
 
He's an idiot who was reading from a notecard written by idiots.
I'm being serious.

While I was on vacation in the Dominican Republic this summer, if I had been arrested for breaking the law (say, by possessing a firearm), would I be "wrongfully detained?"

What other doctor prescribed medications can get you locked up for a decade while traveling?

The idiot in chief is being an idiot again and fast and loose with terminology. She was indicted and pled guilty. She said she did it. Thus she is subject to their judicial system. People can debate the length of the sentence but she is being lawfully detained according to their Justice system. Play stupid games win stupid prizes in practice

I was being serious too. And no, unless you're secretly a black lesbian. International laws change then. I thought you were smart.

Honestly, I have no idea. I would guess that several countries would arrest a person for possession of hash oil. Also, didn't I read a correction that it wasn't actually prescribed (don't think doctors CAN even prescribe hash oil)? I know she had a doctor note suggesting the use of some type of cannabis for pain relief.

And, she "packed hastily" and accidently brought the drugs? GTFO.

What if I have a permit to carry my firearm in the U.S.? Does that pertain to my situation in the DR?

Marinol yes but hash oil no way.
