Griner is free....Democrats kicking Republicans in the ass...but why ? 🐘 🐴

@redredred So, every country that makes war weapons has the ability to restrict the weapon manufacturers but none do. Maybe it's because the agencies get kickbacks and depend on arms dealers for the money to support their lavish lifestyles.

@Diotrephes nope, couldn’t find the relevant point in that comment.

@redredred Where do you think such arms dealers get their weapons from, the dollar store? They buy them from the manufacturers, load them on planes, ships, trains, trucks, and ship them to the war zones. There are countless points where the arms shipments could be intercepted but, with all of the government spy agencies in the world, not one of them can see what is going on. That indicates system-wide corruption.

@redredred This is why she was freed. It's this mentality coming from the GOP.
Why release a no good [b]Negro[/b] over a [b]White[/b] male Marine soldier. It's much deeper than that. I know it's beyond you to understand how or why. 🙂

I get your point but this isn't entirely true, the USA has restricted selling weapons in the past and continues to do so on a regular basis, we don't sell our best weapons to others, most are scaled down and older versions of what we currently have. The thing about that is that it has pushed some of the lesser Nations right into the arms of the Russian and Chinese weapons manufacturers, damned if you do, damned if you don't... 🥴

@spjennifer If it was a real problem the US would simply kill the arms dealers.

@Diotrephes Of course. I mean the guy looked terrified after he was released. I'm positive he won't be doing any dealings again. 🙂

@Zonuss She throws a ball through a hoop but is so too dull she brings an illegal substance into one of the most repressive countries on earth and then wants someone to bail her out.

@redredred She is also a human being.
Your failure to realize this ensures her freedom. Thank you.

@Zonuss I know she’s a human being but she got herself arrested under a valid, well known law in a foreign country. The Marine got picked up on phony charges and gas been held for years. Joe Stupids decision was clearly based on woke logic(?)

@redredred You do not know if he is innocent or not.

Okay, they’re both guilty. Why the one and not the other? Russia is desperate for weapons and the arms trader likely still has lots of contacts so essentially Joe Stupid gave the Russians a weapons supplier and we got a basketball player.

I only spent thirty-five years negotiating contracts for Fortune 100 companies so perhaps I don’t understand but given Russia’s desperation a competent negotiator could have gotten them both for a “prize” like the arms dealer. Joe Stupid likely couldn’t entertain the complexity of two-for-one.@Zonuss

@redredred I understand this.
But he may be released soon.
It's not over yet.

@Zonuss Sure, fuck him, he can wait. At least we can watch her throw a ball through a hoop. Nothing Spurs Russian cooperation better than giving them the prize first.
