The fact that this veteran has been sitting for 4 years or so and gets passed up for Griner alone is disgusting. He should have been 1st to be freed no question. They gave up Viktor Bout, a known ex-KGB agent who has sold literally tons of weapons and ammo amongst other things for decades to genocidal warlords. Hence the nickname (merchant of death). That's the most lopsided and unfair trade I've ever heard of. Now Bout is free to help Russia during the war in Ukraine, doing what he does best, procuring weapons and smuggling them. All this idiocy for one bonehead basketball player whom doesn't have enough brain power to understand that taking drugs into another country, especially Russia, might not be a good idea given all the tension that's been going on for years, with other Americans being detained as well. It's just ridiculous and disgusting. But I think if we're honest we all know the 3 reasons why Griner got released much quicker and ahead of everyone else. Sorry but I practice realism.

I think the importance of Paul Whelan being released is on the back burner for the US, sadly. To trade a world known and convicted arms dealer to the level and time in which Viktor Bout was leading his business for a basketball player is a slap in the face for the US. To me Paul should've been a higher priority, ie. a thought to be an espionage spy for world known arms dealer is an even "trade" in my eyes. I think the US took an easy way out focusing on a frigging basketball player who admitted to the Russian crime and pushed the odds of trying to get away with it, obviously she used and probably bought while being there too; way to go for being a steward of the US in a foreign country where abiding by IT"S RULES should be of the utmost priority. He's been there longer, should've been the first out.
@CthRage8946
@CthRage8946 11 ай бұрын
I agree with you. Whelan should've been priority number one. I still can get why they think a convicted arms dealer has the same weight as a drug dealer basketball player. Who has never considered the red flags of the ongoing tensions between the US and Russia and that being the American caught smuggling drugs, especially if you're LGBTQ in not friendly LGBTQ country, things would end badly for you. I feel like America has never warned LGBTQ people about traveling to a country like this.

Paul Whelan should have been released !! He has been there over 4 years and he is a former Marine !! He was passed over for release 2 times !! It is deplorable that a basketball player was released after the family and others in sports world lobbied strongly !! Basketball player released because was a member of a certain demographic !! The Russian prisoner released in the swap was an arms dealer and mass killer !! The Russian was a high level prisoner! USA should have insisted that Paul Whelan was part of that prisoner swap or No deal!!

She is a black woman in a cou try which hates women and blacks. So as a civilian whose crime was... ignorance and greed she needed to be saved immediately. Paul is a white former Canadian man. They love white men who aren't American and hes a spy. So Paul has always been safer than most others. But he still needs rescuing. But as a spy it's not going to be easy.

Hellboy'd volunteer but I don't think they'd want him back after that stint he did in the Army. Demons prefer obsessive compulsive hosts like Putin for example. Needs his horns shaved to see things clearly in the third dimension. You're not that strong whispers the good angel on his other shoulder. Let the Marine go it suggests. Looks lopsided with that pot smoking basketball player running around now. In fact I'd throw in the reporter just to make sure. He could cover her instead of you. Quiet he's thinking again. Magnificent brow sir. Look he smiled
