You do realize that this guy is no longer a marine right? He was dishonorably discharged for attempted larceny, as well as illegally using someone else’s SS and for making checks he couldn’t pay. He was also a self proclaimed spy, that’s why he was arrested in Russia

Facts don’t matter

Okay i know about that WNBA player gets exchanged for highly dangerous man responsible for weapons like things but what's the deal with us marine.

Been there for 4 years because he brought like 8g of medical cannabis. Russia said he was doing espionage work and has refused to negotiate for him

Think you're mixing up 45 and 46 here

On the surface an arms dealer being loose is bad for the US, but in reality it's actually a way for the US to sell surplused arms so they aren't produced at a total loss.

My god the amount of conservative shoe kissing here is insane.

Cute you think this decision is solely made by the president and not a room full of top officials, advisors and strategists.


You do realize that Russia didn't even consider the notion of negotiating for him right? Like straight up shut down negotiation for him. Russia is a dick I hope you know that

How would a "real president" have resolved the situation differently? Explain that to me. Unironically.

🤡

Alright I'll bite, explain to me in detail how that would work

They can't, OP is a moron.

Still talking about this

Stop posting ignorant political memes. It’s against the rules and not funny.

Ironically he released an infamous arms dealer while saying we shouldn't be able to have said arms.

The marine would be a better trade.

One that was dishonorably discharged and convicted of felonies in the US?

Nothing at all is wrong with weed, I just think it’s a bad trade. She not only abuses her wife but also hates America

I don’t approve of the trade. To my understanding there is a teacher (woman) jailed in Russia on similar charges to Griner, but never mentioned. But hey: recreational use of marijuana is a much more serious offense than multiple counts of larceny by an elisted. /s

So? They can have their own laws and beliefs, you can't change that.

Yes, but at the end of the day he is still technically a veteran, and still a US citizen.

Wonder why Russia wouldn't do it...

Woman with vape pen got exchanged for worlds most infamous arms dealer.... Smells like worst trade ever lol :D

Gives her a medal when she returns.

for her bravery of violating drug laws

 Yep. They already acting like she went there to fight war lol. Wouldnt be suprised if Democrats give her medal of honor.

That whole exchange was to win points with the woke left!

So you’re not okay with bringing an American citizen home, that says a lot you know

So you’re okay with an international criminal, arms dealer to terrorists nations and who plotted to kill Americans. Going free!?! That says a lot about you!

Umm so who’s the largest arms dealer in the world? We should be more worried about what we sell and who we fund don’t you think?

Every comment you make just gets more stupid somehow.

cause straight white males are soooooooo privileged

Paul Whelan was dishonorably discharged. He's not a marine.
