President Biden blasted Russia for sentencing Brittney Griner to 9 years in a penal colony for cannabis possession and smuggling, calling the decision “unacceptable.”
“Today, American citizen Brittney Griner received a prison sentence that is one more reminder of what the world already knew: Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House.
“It’s unacceptable, and I call on Russia to release her immediately so she can be with her wife, loved ones, friends, and teammates,” he continued.

Mess with the bull you get the horn. With the bear you get the claws. Mess with the Russians and you are truly screwed.

And we all believe Brittney used the cannibas oil for pain relief.

If Xiden offered to release all Jan 6 prisoners, while advocating for her release, I might bite.
Otherwise, …..
Just because you are tall, and have the protected and preferred adjectives (black, married lesbian etc) does not mean other countries are as “progressive” as the USA.
Going to be a long 9 years.

Maybe the US can give all sports players and celebrities a free trip to Russia. Maybe some of them would choose to stay like Brittney

Absolutely ineffective as a world leader (?)
Putin knows this; well the entire civilized world knows it
We are so weakened right now by those 4 women actually running
our government; Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, Loretta Lynch and Barack Obama

I am with Ari Fleischer, who believes Griner’s wound is self-inflicted.

She ARROGANTLY spit in the Russians' faces and they don't put up with that crap.
People do stupid stuff all the time and sometimes they pay a big price for it. I have the same level of sympathy for her as I do other stupid people who get burned due to their own actions. It's sad that anyone has to suffer but when you deliberately invite trouble, bad things can happen. I will bet more than one person might have mentioned to her that drug use in Russia is a very dangerous thing to do. She decided SHE knew better.
She will probably get swapped back at some point. Will she have smartened up?

I thank the Russians for inflicting their hospitality on her. After all, Greiner hates this country, now she can try another one on for size!

This conviction is for show, the story isn't over. The Russki's have all the bargaining chips and Biden will allow us to be played.

Do the crime, do the time. I was VERY careful to avoid running afoul of Russian laws when I visited many times. One of the interesting things to be careful with in the middle 2000s was that any "GPS device" was illegal to possess. OK, I had a GPS device that was left home every trip. Their country, their laws, better comply.

So is Griner really a guy? I've read comments about 'her' Adam's apple and saw another comment today about he is really a she? Now I'm curious.

Everything is acceptable except that which the bullies term unacceptable. Did Greiner break the law? No doubt, she even admitted her "mistake". She had due process and the opportunity to present a defense. She had no defense except to throw herself at the mercy of the court. So what makes this judgment "unacceptable"? Anyone whose sympathy meter registers above zero is a fool.

Good for the Russians. No special treatment just because you're a tall black woman who happens to bounce a ball. This is the type of justice every city run by demosluts needs. No special treatment just because your black. Break the law, do the time.

Griner is mentally ill. He/she should be locked up somewhere and receiving treatment.

Joe, she brought in an illegal substance into Communist Russia, where the substance is illegal. Unlike your Democrat prosecutors who think it is OK if minorities commit crimes. Griner is a minority,, as she claims to be gay, I understand. So, I gather she thinks she is entitled to break the laws of a country she is visiting. Too bad. As the say, "Don't commit the crime if you don't want to do the time."

Brittany has a very deep masculine voice. Perhaps when Brittany is released the voice will be higher more lady like.

#17, on our two trips to Moscow, back in 1996, both times we flew out of Moscow Airport, as the aircraft lifted off, the passengers applauded.
And we were flying on Lufthansa, not Aeroflot.
I suspect the lanky black lesbian Griner, will never repeat what she allegedly said on a prior trip to Moscow- that she didn't want to return to the United States. When her freedom is finally purchased by Dementia Jo's handlers, Griner might even smile when she comes back to the United States. But I doubt it.
