We should be rounding up russian mobsters here, theres plenty of them right in brighton beach brooklyn and they break the law daily, much worse than a gram of weed.... that would put the most pressure on putin
They pay way better in Russia than WNBA supposedly. Guess Russia has more pay equality for women but harsh other laws in the eye of Americans. He has been going to play in Russia for like 3-4 years. He knows the deal.
This is why countries hate America. Always trying to spew our ideology on the world. Indonesia Philippine Malaysia Singapore all have wicked crazy laws worse than Russia for a little weed. Saudi Arabia and Turkey Qatar have laws and you get lashings with that jail time. Few countries in Africa and S America also.
The dude knew the laws. Sounds silly to us but is what it is. I mean over here you can rob and beat somebody at gun point and be back on the street the next day eating McDonald’s. Hell SF let’s you just walk in a CVS and steal whatever you want.
Maybe we should make all the loose drug law advocates go live in Kensington Philadelphia for a year. Good times out there. Doubt he does 9 years, just like over here nobody does the full time 99% of the time.

She*** but yeah this was politically motivated, and griner is culpable bc she didnt research what was going on in that part of the world before she went or she knew and didnt care. With that said, russia just negotiated the release of A MAJOR RUSSIAN MOB DRUG TRAFFICKER from the US in a prisoner swap and they nabbed griner to get more of their criminal buddies here a get of a jail card. Griners ignorance SHOULD make us all mad but not enough to leave her in jail for 10 yrs for what equates to a dime bag.
*****And for the record no one should have a criminal record for a substance thats openly traded on stock exchanges around the world*****
He*** (fixed it for you)
He has been playing for that team since 2014. The team owned by one of them crazy Russian oligarchs. Apparently he had 8 years of research and know. Plenty of time. Got paid way more than the WNBA.
And who’s fault is it if we do a prisoner swap? We give Russia an arms dealer for a basketball player? That’s on us. Hell, our own government and politicians are major weapon and Drug dealers. His stupidity with a gram of pot is the cause of the release of a drug/weapon trafficker.
Traded world wide or not is irrelevant. So is uranium and plutonium. Maybe we should let Jim Tonk out of prison down there in Arkansas for that gram of U235 he was recreationally using for free energy in his home.
If it was a he she wouldnt be playing in the WNBA, i get it, super butch female, but shes still a female. That said, 9 years for less than a gram while they didnt carr their own citizen was trafficking TONS of actual narcotics into this country and advocated for their release is the height of hypocrisy. Russia has zero moral ground to stand on.
