Avoid Strength, Attack Weakness.
RT editor in chief Margarita Simonyan in a television appearance Thursday said she was “very amused but not surprised” that the Biden administration swapped Griner, rather than Whelan, for notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, as Whelan has “three problems.”
“His first problem is that he is white. His second problem is he is a man. His third problem: He is a heterosexual. This is not something that can be forgiven today,” Simonyan said. […]
Bout, a former Soviet military translator known as the “Merchant of Death,” was convicted in 2011 of selling weapons to a Colombian terrorist cell that planned to kill American soldiers. Simonyan, whom the State Department calls “Vladimir Putin’s loyal propagandist,” said Bout’s release is “the first good news” for Russia.
“The second good news is that [the United States] spits on its heroes to the extent that it considers it significantly more important to free a rightfully charged, well-known athlete,” the Russian propaganda chief said, adding that “this says a lot about the state of this society, of these intelligence agencies, and everything related to geopolitical confrontation.”
Griner since her arrest has become a cause célèbre, which likely informed the Biden administration’s decision to prioritize her release over other Americans imprisoned abroad. President Joe Biden has met with Griner’s wife Cherelle several times, inviting her to the Oval Office on Thursday to personally share the news of Griner’s release.

Yes, the bottom line is they traded toxic masculinity for … Griner.
At this point, wouldn’t it serve Whelan better to “turn” and help Russia. The U.S. no longer resembles the place he swore allegiance to.
Griner is a he not a she.
You mean this?

I do not understand the infatuation our governments and big businesses have for the perverts and sex freaks in our society. They are sick people who do not deserve your love and devotion. Or is it something else we don’t know about.
That giant black women ball player is and America hater. After a taste of communist treatment …. she is a nothing but a bitter clown,
He, he is nothing but a bitter clown. Stop calling him a her.
Yup, like said, if it has an apple it has a banana.
Because making you submit to absurdities, ESPECIALLY when you know they’re absurdities, is a way of keeping you in your place.
Sorry, I’m not granting her that unique status of being “he”. She’s just a freak.
Man she is a he are you nuts.
The punishment phase of identity politics is where things get ugly.. Its the main reason why I no longer vote or participate in their games..
Lets battle racism with racism.. Lets tackle injustice with injustice.. Lets save the world by defunding our opposition.. Zealots with their thumb on the scale..
Politics reduced to a bad movie script.. I have a problem and you read lines to me.. I ad-lib you call security.. I have no desire to be a unpaid extra in your production.. The idea is don’t get yourself in a position where you need to be saved or need extra consideration and you will be ahead in the game..
Trust friends, family and the black market.. Embrace your inner minority..
Does Biden care that Russians are laughing at him and Americans?
Wait.
Is he even aware?
With what he is doing in Ukraine, how could he expect any cooperation? All he got was a prank.
JMHO. The Russians knew that Britney had illegal drugs because she probably brought them every time, but they just wanted to wait until they could get the best deal. I doubt Trump would have done what Biden did.
A decent , normal person (neither of which Britney can claim to be) would be embarrassed and ashamed that their country had done this. For bad or good, this story will follow and define her for the rest of her life. Not much of a legacy.
The day the drugged up basketball player returned to the USA NPR did 30 minutes of their national news cast on the ‘story’.
Sickening
Good Lord!Hope you did not listen!
“His first problem is that he is white. His second problem is he is a man. His third problem: He is a heterosexual.”
You know the RT lady doesn’t actually believe this right? She’s only saying this to manipulate people dumb enough to believe it or tell themselves they do ie you.
This trade is quite terrible. Still less terrible than the time Trump insisted Afghanistan release thousands of Taliban prisoners for ‘peace’.
From the depths of some urban Utopia ,a hidden oasis of butt sniffing, creamy lattes, and blowing smoke up each others behind starting from birth ….. where participation ribbons are a staple of ones mental wellbeing.
Canada the country of professional slope greasers – progs.
If only they couldn’t leave their bubble.
unDORK
orange man bad, quite a post you gots dare!
“You know the RT lady doesn’t actually believe this right?”
People in other countries have different views than you do UnMe. You are correct in that the Liberal MSM in the west don’t believe that phrase any more than you do.
A man sez he is a woman.
A lesbian woman.
Sometimes the Ruskis will be right.
Just like a clock.
Bizarre world.
Ain’it?
