Brittney Griner

I know it’s been on going…I honestly don’t get what the big deal is with her. She entered another country with drugs, got caught and now is begging the the US gov’t to help her?

I’m Indonesia, you are executed if you bring drugs into that country. I don’t care what you think about it. It’s their law.

It’s also a serious crime in Russia as well.

I’m 100% against any type of prisoner exchange.

Racist.

Although from what I understand the "drugs" she was caught with was vape cartridges containing hashish oil, it's not like she was muling in cocaine or something.

But even if that's all it was, you're right that if you're going to travel abroad maybe you should bone up on the local laws, especially when it pertains to drugs.

That is for drug trafficking, Griner had two vape cartridges. This is 100% political.

While I agree, it wasn’t anything serious, but bringing any type of drug across an international border is a serious crime and just stupid to do… especially to a country we aren’t friendly with.

I’m well aware it’s political, not saying it isn’t in any way. Doesn’t change the fact, she brought drugs across an international border to an unfriendly country. That’s on her. It’s her responsibility to pack her own bags and be aware what’s in her own shit, especially going to a place like Russia.

From what I read, she said she had a prescription for it…. Thinking it wouldn’t be a problem in Russia, and I heard that she didn’t know she had it with her. Dunno which is true.

Also Lebron James is such an idiot that he thinks Griner is better off in a Russian jail cell than she would be in the US.

Must be nice to be a millionaire.

James is a billionaire.

He's also a flopping little bitch.

Agreed, it has looked and felt like the Russian equivalent of sprinkling some crack on her basically from the start.

Ok it's political...but what do you want the USG to do? Exchange her for a war criminal weapon smuggler? Send in Delta force to extract her and start WW3? If this was me, noone would hear from me again until 2042 when I got out of gulag. Take the L and if the dept of state can work out an exchange and swap you for a few Russian generals from Ukraine in 2025, I'd probably take that under the circumstances

There are ways to put pressure on Russia that we haven't started yet. I don't give a fuck what her political views are, I see it as a US citizen being treated unjustly.

Also, maybe get it through the heads of other US citizens that Russia isn't a place to go.
