I dont know his current status as a danger to the public, but I really would not want to ever release a guy called the merchant of death. Hopefully hes just a status symbol at this point and not actually in any position to bring harm to anyone.

She's really lucky. Is it dumb that you can get in that much trouble for pot in Russia?

Ya, it is. But that's how it is there. She shouldn't have brought pot with her.

No not for pot.

For being stupid enough to go to Russia when it was clear and obvious to the entire world that a war was about to pop off and the US government was actively warning people not to go to Russia.

Supposedly it was an accident. She forgot to remove it from a bag she used to travel in the US. It was also a very small amount. They over punished her cause she was American. A Russian wouldn't have been so harshly treated for that tiny amount

She was going back and forth to Russia for years. She was going to play in the Russian basketball season during off season in US. She was a reoccurring member of a Russian team every year. She got arrested a couple weeks before the invasion and may not have been paying attention to the news

yall literally dont give 2 shits about some random prisoner no one ever heard of before.

be happy she got out, and dont lick russia's boot on this.

fuck what they say, they could have planted her own vape carts on her so that even she thinks she packed them on accident. this is a country that tried to poison countless people and uses rape as a weapon as well as a slough of other human rights violations and yall be like "shouldnt break the LAW"

And yet Paul Whelan is gonna probably serve his full sentence at this rate. And he has a far better case to be made for his release.

Thats great that she was freed since she was locked up for something so dumb and yet her breaking their laws also resulted in Russia getting a deadly ally. Really a bad deal, but at least shes free.

I mean I'm happy she is free. I'm not happy we had to trade someone away for it. Yes, she shouldn't have been in jail for pot, but it's Russia and they aren't known for their sanity. I hope everyone around the world has learned to pay a little more attention about what you take with you to different countries that have different laws.

People are still believing she had pot on her?

With all of the bullshit Russia has been doing for years?

The spy networks?
The arrests/disappearing of dissidents?
This invasion of a neutral nation to combat "Nazism"?
The state sanction LGBT purging in Chechnya?
The imprisonment of an American just weeks before the Ukranian invasion?

With all of that knowledge at our fingertips, people are still trusting them when they say she broke their laws?
