Russian news media have repeatedly raised speculation that she could be swapped for Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, nicknamed 'The Merchant of Death,' who is serving a 25-year sentence on conviction of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and providing aid to a terrorist organization.

No, keep her. I think we would rather keep an arms dealing terrorist in jail than worry about a pro athlete in a sport that is less watched than some towns local high school football games.

Well, prior to her arrest, she refused to stand/stay on the court for the national anthem, supported BLM and hated the USA...wonder what she thinks now that she sees how life is in other countries. Some countries fully expect you to abide by their laws, guess she overlooked that.

Well I wouldn't hold Russia up as the paragon example of expecting people to abide by their laws. You can literally buy your way out of most crimes and laws regarding driving are treated as a suggestion at best.

I don't like her because she refused to stand for the anthem. She needed something to wake her up to how lucky she is to be an American. If I thought she would be apologetic for her actions against the anthem and get rid of her black racist attitude I would be for getting her back, but somehow I feel when she gets back she will still be against America.

However I do think the Russians are using her and ten years is too much, even for someone stupid enough to vape Marijuana, and take it to Russia with her. Time served, and probation and exportation would be my verdict, but a lot depends on how badly Russia wants to spit in Bidens face.

Just think how well her Russian language skills will be after she serves a decade in prison. That will be a very marketable skill she can use to land a good job once her days of playing with balls are over. When life hands you lemons........

Almost make you wonder... did the US contact Russia and say, "Hey, we want to make an example out of her to any of the other idiot Americans who disparage their own country. Make it tough for her..."

Except she was charged with possession of hash oil in her vape cartriges. Hash oil is illegal in the US too.

I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the unlawfully detained thing. She gets caught smuggling drugs into the country, plead guilty to it, and yet Russia is at fault?
