I feel bad for the victims and families affected. I also feel bad for the people who worked relentlessly day and night to put the “Merchant of Death” behind bars.
Biden fcuked up royally.
"The right to keep and bear arms, SHALL not be infringed".............Or sell them?
so you agree that people who sell guns are responsible for the crimes people commit with them
@@Acolis in your logic. If i sell you clothing and you use it on kids who are being trafficked. Im now a child trafficker? In your logic if I sell you tools and you kill your grandma, now I'm responsible? If i sell you a computer and you use it to defraud the government, its my fault.... If Remington sells a gun to someone, its the persons responsiblity what happens to it once it leaves the store. Can't use them out of business. If i sell knives and you slit your wrist. Did I do it?
"Merchant of Death" this guy sales death and the government trade hims for a stupid basquetbal player who did drug in another country . This was all planned. The news in Russia are laughing at us bc this administration want o please their party bc they still place the race card
Russia traded a WNBA player for someone who can actually shoot.
Anybody can shoot
@bubble jim she is a boss on the court
Pretty funny...
savage!
@@marshaclifton1535 you missed the whole joke lmao.... you lame!!!!

Why did she come back here? She said America is oppressive.
Well that's what oppressive countries do (endanger the entire world by trading a dangerous arms dealer for you, a popularized drug smuggling idiot that deserved prison time in a foreign adversary). Can't you see the oppression? Look harder - stare at it for a few hours and you'll see it.
Gathering by all the homphobic and misandrists comments, yes, it seems like America is oppressive.
Exactly. If it's so oppressive, why are you so Desperate to come back....?
Cause she's allowed to pick and choose deal with it lol
America is oppressive against the poor which she definitely isn't (incarcerating way more of its people than Russia btw)
If I were a young man or women, I would suggest to them that there is no reason for them to go into military service. If our government is going to leave behind an American Marine, who served and fought for our country, then why go into the service in the first place?
If anything I learned from this is that celebrities and athletes are above our soldiers, an utter disgrace. 😡😡😡
Apparently you weren't listening. They said multiple times that Russia was NOT interested in trading the Marine. The choice was Griner or no one.
Because they knew it would divide us. And you're playing right into it. You'd rather see them both rot than see her come home without the Marine.
I couldn't agree more. There is absolutely NO reason those that serve or have served, should EVER be treated like this! Our military members have to go on food stamps to provide for their families? THAT is shameful. And they should be able to show their military service card in ANY hospital anywhere to get free health care for themselves and immediate family regardless of active service or vet status.
The Disgraced ex marine didn’t serve or fight for anything. He was clerk in the military. He was court martialed and dishonorably discharged for a slew of charges including, using a government computer to make a fake account to changing his military tests scores and trying to scam the military out of $10,000. What a hero! 🙄
Fyi that guy was convicted of attempted larceny of $10,000 from the government and was dishonorably discharged. Military member know the risk they take when they voluntarily enlist.
Well said
She has very little support in America. To trade a once the most wanted man internationally. This is insane.

Is Brittney Griner still going to tell EVERYONE how oppressed she is?
Absolutely disgraceful 😤!!!
1:15 She was not "held hostage." She broke the law and was sentenced to prison.
International drug smuggler..... smuggled hash oil into another country a schedule 1 narcotic. That's life in parts of asia
I spit my drink out when she described her as a "hostage" I have no faith left in this country anymore, what an absolute fucking joke we are because of these virtue signaling woke mother fuckers
She was used as a political pawn. It was CBD oil with a trace amount of THC in it!
There are people behind bars in USA for minor Marijuana charges serving 7 or even 12 years. For LESS THEN WHAT SHE HAD. she was sentenced to 7 years in Russia. WHY is Biden calling to allow that in Russia but not the United States? And it wasn't even possession it was INTERNATIONAL DRUG SMUGGLING hash oil a schedule 1 narcotic... If that's the case it should be federally decriminalized in the USA then. She's got blood on her hands now should have just served the time for the crime.....she's all about equality wants equal pay as a man in the nba.. she did the crime and won't pay the time jumps at the chance to be bailed out now there's BLOOD on her hands so she can smuggle hash oil 🤦♂️
Lmfao she had .7 bruh stop crying like a girl smh you talking like she had pounds lol typical white boy
If Putin could grab the entire cast of The View he could probably trade them for Ukraine.
That was BRILLIANT! But who the hell would want them back? Although it would put Putin in a situation where he'd want to give them back. Nope, you can keep them.
Who knew bouncing a ball was so very important. No soldiers left behind? Why would anyone sign up for the military after seeing this? Putin is showing everyone Americans double standards.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your all sick!

Yes it was a much better deal when Trump released 5000 Taliban fighters for absolutely nothing in return. Meanwhile Biden got marine Trevor Reed released and now Griner. How many American prisoners in Russia did Trump get released?
@@lowbird7947 Trump did no such thing. Stop lying!!!! Trading an international terrorist arms dealer for a traitor to her own country is totally insane Only you sociopaths agree with it
Trump didn't leave behind over 80 billion dollars worth of military equipment, left behind hundreds of Americans and allies. And had the audacity to check his watch when 13 flag draped coffins came off the plane. All due to his poor policies. He is supposed to be the commander in chief, and he leaves another service member behind. Truly the worst president an administration in modern history. And we have two more years of this. And I genuinely believe this once great country will not survive intact.
Hey "c'mon man" be more open minded. Worship black criminals and men in dresses.
She better not even smoke a cigarette after this lucky opportunity. Any other citizen would have been forgotten and left behind
Any other citizen would not have been locked up for 9 years for what she did. It was a political play by the Russians to put Biden in a bind. They threw her in a gulag in one of the most racist and homophobic nations on earth.
@@Mawyou Marc Fogel, a retired school teacher was sentenced for 14 years (5 more than privileged Brittany) for the same offense but he actually needed it for medical purposes not like Griner who just wanted to smoke recreationally while earning hundreds of thousands of dollars bouncing a ball. The privilege is very real
@@aviatorzz7178 If you had any interest interest in checking your facts, you would know that Brittney also was prescribed that for medical reasons. And she had a lot less of it than Mark Fogel.
But now that you bring it to my attention, yes, I do believe he should be released too. He obviously did not get the benefit of being a famous person like Britney. But that is no reason to hate her.
Putin knows America. He did this to divide us. It's working.
No, we really don't want to hear from Brittney Griner. I hope they played the National Anthem when she got off the plane.

@@DaveCM It was a joke, but probably.
Both ex-Marines Whelan and Trevor Reed were imprisoned in Russia during the Trump administration. Though Trump was good buddies with Putin, he never even *tried* to get either man released. Not a problem for you?? Biden's been in the WH less than 2 years, and so far he's gotten 2 Americans released, and continues to negotiate for Paul Whelan and US teacher Paul Fogel. You never heard of Fogel I guess. Or that Griner brought home 2 Olympic gold metals to the US.

Don't see anything to celebrate with leaving other Americans behind in Russia and exchanging a basketball player that criticized the USA for an arms dealer. Sounds like a bad trade
Your Extreme Hate for other Americans is showing !
Paul Whelan, was court-martial from the marines, after a court-martial conviction in January 2008 on multiple counts related to larceny and identity thefts, Paul Whelan said he was a sheriff in Michigan, but there is no record of that. In a deposition in 2013 that he holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and an MBA degree. He took courses at Northern Michigan University from the fall of 1988 to the fall of 1990 without earning a degree. When arrested in Russia, he was with Ilya Yatsenko, whom the Russian newspaper Kommersant described as a major in the FSB's Department "K", which monitors Russian economic crimes.
Russia gives the US only one choice, Griner or no one. Also black women in a Russian prison? Russians are extremely racist against Blacks, even more for Black women. You prefer the white disgraced marine that has a criminal history in US and Russia. But you are not racist right?

So very happy you’re home safe Brittany. We love you! Your wife kept going, wouldn’t give up. Congratulations on your soon to be beautiful child. Enjoy!
The merchant of death for the merchant of "snu snu" I'll take it 😆
🤦 AMERICAN IS THE WORST ENEMY FOR REAL! PPL THAT GO FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY IS IN RUSIA IN JAIL! AND AMERICAN DO NOTHING! BUT THIS ONE GO WITH STUFF TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND SWAPPED JUST LIKE THAT.. SO ANGRY
Are you really angry or just angry because you are told you are supposed to be angry?
@@DaveCM A non-english speaking person in one of our US territories actually understands better than you. Think about it.
That's a clear Aerosmith song dude looks like A Lady
this administration should be EMBARRASSED by this prisoner swap!!
You should get over it.
@@mitch103178 you shouldn't
@@mitch103178guess what? Brittany is a man pretending to be a woman!
@@mitch103178 Get over what?
The money makes the embarrassment disappear.
Why are we seeing old photos???
*NEVER FORGET this woman turned her back on the National Anthem!!! And since her country got her release from a Russian prison I haven't heard her make any apology!!!*
Where is there a law that says you have to stand for the national anthem??
@@katherinea.rodgers8366 your freedom is because of the people who fought for what the flag represent! It has nothing to do with a " law" ! You have every right to turn your back on the flag as does this over paid do nothing athletic but you can thank a Vet when you make that freedom of choice! Or...move to Iran where women are being murdered for wearing their head dress wrong or china...and take " it" with you when you go! We won't miss you or it!
Paul..." It" will still turn her back on the National Anthem. Her arrogance is on full display and it always has! Another disgrace by this pathetic Administration..
I love how people say that race and sexuality doesn't play a part in this situation. Victor Bout sentence was nearing its end, in America so why should we let an American citizen rot in jail for 9 years for having some CBD oil, not weed but CBD oil. When we could trade her for a person who served 14 years already. No one is mentioning Trevor Reed getting released the same year, we traded him for a Russian DRUG SMUGGLER, how ironic, but where are all your nasty comments and your ugly post about him getting released for drug smuggler? Oh my bad he's a white man not a black gay woman. But everybody wants to focus on Paul Whelan who was dishonorably discharged from the Marines. Why are you hateful people saying that Britney is nothing but a pothead but you people are the ones buying this CBD oil, these gummies, this hemp oil and have started this whole revolution of legalized marijuana! Paul Whelan has four citizenships in four other countries, how come none of these countries have stepped up to the plate to demand that he be released? how come Canada which is the country that he actually was born in hasn't stepped up to the plate and demand Russia release him? Furthermore he was in jail way before the Biden administration took office so why wasn't Trump and all of his cronies trying to get him out of jail even then? You hateful people look at Britney because she's a black gay woman and decide that she should rot in jail for 9 years and Paul Whelan should be free you might want to look at the whole story first. To all the people that are calling Brittany Griner a pothead and saying she's nothing but a drug addict are you the same people that are benefiting off those millions and billions of dollars from the legalization of marijuana? Or maybe you're the same people that are begging and begging for some kind of opioid assistance for your drug addict kids, so much so that narcan is being given to people for free just so that they can assist your dope fiends from overdosing. While we're on the subject where is all your hate for Brett Favre who exploited millions of dollars from welfare recipients? Oh my bad that's right you think all people on welfare are black, sorry to say this to you but statistically speaking white women are the highest group that are on welfare. And where is all your hate for Tom Brady who use the PPP loan to buy himself a boat, and before you justify this why is someone who is making well over $100,000 a year regardless of their race even allowed to get a PPP loan? But you want to talk about Britney who's a WNBA player, but not penalizing these white men playing in the NFL for all their supposed atrocities. Going back to my earlier statement, it's ironic that all you people are against Brittany for supposedly being a pothead but have nothing to say about Trevor Reed being released for a Russian drug smuggler, Hello!
That dude is tall
So we trade a mass killing arms dealer, who decapitates his victims after torching them. Brittney broke Russian law by taking in illegal drugs. She didn’t deserve special treatment. She’s a criminal, laws are laws. No offense but this was a stupid trade, makes us look very weak. Sad, bad politics.
This is the worst trade ever
Such a loving couple
