US secretary of state Antony Blinken said on Wednesday the US has offered to release Victor Bout, a convicted Russian arms trafficker serving a 25-year prison sentence, in exchange for WNBA star Brittney Griner and former US marine Paul Whelan, CNN and Axios report.
Griner testified at her trial in Russia on Wednesday, saying that a language interpreter only translated part of what she said during her questioning, according to The Associated Press. Griner has been detained since February and faces up to 10 years in prison after Russian officials said they found cannabis oil in her luggage.

Yep makes sense. Trade a drug user for the “Shadow of Death” mercenary and drug runner. Connection with over 5000 deaths.
We should trade murders and gun runners for all drug smugglers.
Well only if they are LGBTQ, or famous, or not white, or part of the BLM movement. Yep sounds fair to me!
