...
the Biden administration was able to secure WNBA player Brittney Griner’s release from Russia in a prisoner swap
Cue "white" entitlement:
“I am greatly disappointed that more has not been done to secure my release, especially as the four-year anniversary of my arrest is coming up," Whelan said in a phone interview with CNN from the penal colony where he is being held in a remote part of Russia. “I don’t understand why I’m still sitting here.”
Woke comments:
The simple reason is that Whelan was jailed for spying. Whether he was actually spying doesn't matter. That is what he was convicted of, and Russia is not going to let him go easily. Griner was convicted of a minor drug charge. Totally different cases.
Paul holds two other passports, let those countries negotiate w the xBolshevik xMonkeys in Russia. We got our American back. Besides, he’s a thief
