While all incarcerated Americans should be repatriated -- an arms dealer for a basketball player is a win for Russia

Lt Col Charlie Brown - A poor decision tracks well with the current POTUS' policies

If the US acknowledges that Whelan is a spy, that changes the calculus to something more equitable...I agree.

Conservatives are pro-life and pro-americans, except when they are not. They can look past the release of 5k taliban fighters but getting Brittney back is a bridge too far. Its pathetic and sad.

Is Brittney Griner part of a Russian basketball team!? I haven't been following the story, only see mention of a swap, briefly, on the news.
