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

The thing that bothers me is that on Twitter people are trying to turn this into a race thing..of course. The usual dipshits like Rex Chapman or Jemelle Hill are pretty much saying that people are upset because it’s a Black, lesbian celebrity who was freed and not the clean cut, white Marine.

Let's not pretend that's not a valid argument. It's even happening on this forum

The desire to bring Whelan back is absolutely legitimate and should be a priority. But bashing Biden over this turn of events of getting someone else back as opposed to Whelan, which everyone knows is not entirely in his control, is petty, rings hollow, and reflects your lack of sophistication.

Biden's negotiating skills must suck. To give up Bout, he should have demanded the return of both Whelan and Griner. As is, Bout straight up for Griner, that's like trading Patrick Mahomes for Baker Mayfield. Russia got the far better deal.

The problem is that this goes way beyond the “let’s cancel a Disney ride” or “change a pancake syrup bottle” level of world politics that these so called worldly people are able to comprehend. This is way beyond their little bubble of domestic SJW activism . No one GAF that BG is a black, lesbian, D list celebrity. They only want to see that what we gave is equal to what was returned. You can simultaneously be happy that a person who was going to face a much harsher punishment for a minimal crime has been released, while feeling that a precedent has been set that shouldn’t have been.

Some people (on both sides) most definitely care about that aspect of this story.

Biden doesn't know. They told him the deal and to wake up for that photo op.

Now, she'll make millions of dollars on some tv interview and she'll gush over that idiot while bashing America as racist at the same time. That arms dealer will continue to sell arms and continue cause havoc around the world?

I’m not saying it isn’t on both sides, but the lack of understanding that race doesn’t play as big of a part as people want it to on the world stage is the part that’s troublesome. It’s everyone’s go to now, no matter the situation. The overwhelming ignorance and sense of entitlement displayed towards this shows where we are. It’s not a good look.

Hmm yeah I can agree with this. They are the Candace Owens and Charlies Kirks of the other side. Equally disgusting to me.
