Brittney Griner would disagree with this take. When she was released and they did polling they found more than two thirds of republican voters opposed her deal bringing her home. In fact TRUMP attacked the deal. Calling it dumb and unpatriotic. #trump #britney #griner #MAGA

Russia is reportedly selling weapons to Yemeni Houthis with the involvement of Viktor Bout, a notorious arms dealer who was previously convicted in the U.S. The first shipments, consisting mostly of AK-74 Kalashnikov rifles, could take place as early as October. It is also possible that Houthis may receive anti-ship or anti-aircraft missiles from Russia in the future. If this happens, it would complicate efforts for U.S. forces to defend against Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. ▪️Viktor Bout had been selling Soviet-made weapons for decades. In 2011, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison in the U.S. However, he did not serve the full sentence, as he was released in a 2022 prisoner exchange between the U.S. and Russia. 🪐 Subscribe to Live: Ukraine
Viktor #Bout, the Russian arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death,” walked out of a #US jail almost two years ago in a trade with #Moscow for U.S. basketball star Brittney #Griner. Now he is back in business, trying to broker the sale of small arms to #Yemen’s #Iran-backed #Houthi militants.

Turns out this has nothing to do with timing or #Trump or his prospects vs #Harris' for #Election2024. It was just Donald's bluster all along that had thrown us off.
@bbc has a story about the detailed timeline that shows the prisoner swap deal between Russia and the West was 2 years in the making.
It started with the negotiations for Britney #Griner, and at one point involved #Navalmy too, but #Germany scuttled the latter

Taurasi... Griner...anyone other WNBA players wanna flag themselves as weak sauce haters?
Clark is doing nothing but making a very mediocre league more enticing & watchable & that means more viewers, ergo more money.
I originally thought this ridiculousness was orchestrated to generate controversy & views but it's been made clear: These women just wanna tear clark down.

How $50 for Ukraine led to desperate battle to free LA ballerina held in Russia
Amateur ballerina #Ksenia #Karelina, an American and Russian dual citizen who celebrated the new year with a trip to Istanbul with her partner Chris van Heerden, a South African professional boxer, before heading to Russia to visit family, was 🔸arrested and detained by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) on 28 January🔸 in her hometown of Yekaterinburg, about 1,100 miles east of Moscow.
Karelina may be the latest victim in a chess match over detainees between the US and Russia, which dates back more than 15 years when, in 2008, the US Drug Enforcement Administration arrested #Viktor #Bout, a former Soviet military officer and translator, on conspiracy charges. Bout was eventually traded in 2022 for the WNBA champion #Brittney #Griner, who Russian officials had arrested for possessing vaporizer cartridges containing less than a gram of hash oil.
In March last year, Russian officials arrested the Wall Street Journal reporter #Evan #Gershkovich in the same place as Karelina, Yekaterinburg. Gershkovich and the ex-US marine #Paul #Whelan, arrested in 2018, are being held on bogus espionage charges, according to the US government.
In January, Moscow also arrested the English teacher #Robert #Woodland #Romanov, a dual US-Russian citizen, on drug charges.
And now Karelina.
Van Heerden is desperate to raise awareness and money for his partner’s legal defense and return.

U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner, who was freed from a Russian penal colony in a prisoner exchange last year, has urged the Biden administration to keep using "every tool possible" to win the release of a U.S. reporter accused of spying in Russia.
