An arms dealer over a c tier basketball player. This administration sure has their priorities straight.

[TheBronyCraft]

This prisoner exchange will surely have no consequences.

[moaski]

US soil... that Griner gave zero F's about until she was incarcerated in a Russian labor camp.

[travismaxey]

We literally just traded one of the worlds most infamous arms dealers in modern history for a D-List basketball player. You can’t tell me that this country isn’t run by complete clowns

[saneasthenextguy]

And she was NOT "unjustly detained", she admitted she forgot to take the vapes out of her luggage, intent doesn't matter in this instance, people in this country get arrested for similar things every day.

[DRKrust]

It's a disgrace Griner returned and Whalen stayed behind.

[SoloPilot]

Wonder how many people will be killed by all of the weapons that the guy will sell, now that he's been traded for a basketball player.

Shame on the American people who wanted him back

[EDDYEAGLE]

😮 This sets a horrible precedent. Now anytime a country wants a prisoner back. They will abduct or imprison a tourist. 😮 Wtf is this???? The new 2023 precedent for life on earth?

A sad world we live in when we value the life of an WNBA player who disrespects the country over someone who put theirs on the line for it.

We left a U.S. Marine in Russia and brought back someone who does not love this country. God Help Us.

[archades]

We traded the Merchant of Death for a black, female, lesbian, basketball player that routinely makes anti-American sentiments and will continue to claim to be oppressed. And left behind an American Marine.

[larrythorn]

We left a Marine rotting in Russian jail but we swapped a literal movie villain (Lord of War is about Viktor Bout) for a drug addict.

[pkghalm]

Biden is the worst deal maker I've ever seen.

[patricklopiccolo]

Every single life lost because of releasing that warlord is 100% on her shoulders

[durand]

A complete incoherent decision that has left us all speechless freeing a woman who won’t even stand for the anthem, while we left a man who served this country

[theadorebundy]

When you check all the right boxes and the current Administration only cares about identity politics.

[theundergroundwriter]

Really? You bring back her and not free Snowden?!

[Johnny_Dregs]

Send her back please. We swapped a arms dealer for an athlete (supposedly) who has stated she does not like the U.S.

[alooga]

Does s/he finally appreciate what she had back in her homeland? Nah...
