WNBA player Britney Griner arrested in Russia: updated: wokes expected sellout crowd, nope lol

in June

The family of Viktor Bout, who is serving a 25-year prison term in the United States, fears for his life due to a sharp deterioration of his health due to the prison authorities’ failure to provide medical assistance, his wife Alla Bout told Sputnik on Monday. "An unknown skin disease that began in Viktor in December last year with a small area of skin near the eye has now spread to all healthy skin, and Victor can no longer sleep from severe itching and pain. This is almost torture," she said after speaking with her husband by phone on 2 June. Bout is now allowed only two phone calls a week. "Viktor complains about his health in the most extreme cases, when the problem is really serious. This is the third time in 14 years in prison". Not once in six months did the administration of the Marion prison in Illinois call Bout a specialised doctor or any doctor at all, except for the prison paramedic, Alla Bout said. "The paramedic gave Viktor a shampoo. The closest thing he prescribed to her husband was a sulfide-based ointment, which only caused severe allergies", the his wife said. "It seems that my husband was infected with something on purpose, and they deliberately do not provide qualified medical assistance to drive him insane with pain. Victor’s American lawyer believes that by not helping my husband, the US authorities are putting pressure on Russia to get the convict in Russia for espionage of the American citizen Paul Whelan," Alla Bout said. Alla Bout wrote a letter to the Russian Foreign Ministry in connection with the sharp deterioration in her husband's health in the US prison. "Our diplomats both in Moscow and in America are constantly trying to help us, and every time something related to Viktor’s health happened, we addressed them, and they wrote and called the prison, the US Bureau of Prisons, other agencies. In previous cases, it helped. Now the embassy's requests and demands to provide Viktor with qualified medical care are simply ignored," she told the agency.

 

Makes you wonder….Would Biden have done the same for Brian Scalabrine?

 

That seems like a problem for people with general empathy issues and have hierarchies for value of life.

Not every decision needs to be politically based using polling data.

 

sure i just think

a basketball player for a warlord aint exactly a fair trade. it's nice that we got an american back, i guess

 

if you pose this scenario in the GARM about Sengun for a warlord I bet you'd get some heated debate

 

Why didn’t anyone care about this guy over the last 4 years?

 

It’s not a fair trade, but I think we got what we could in the trade. We can’t force Putin to make any trade. We got what we could. I’m not a Griner fan, but I think you make the trade. It could be that Putin is unwilling to make any trade for Whelan, so I say bring Griner home, which is better than nothing.

 

what do u know fantasma bringin up conservative talking point

 

Why didn't anyone care about Britney until she was a criminal?

 

they say twitter is dead

 

Bout looks pretty healthy there. The rumors of him being covered in blisters seem a little off

 

I guess we have to go kidnap more Russians to have something to trade for Whelan.

 

What are Ireland, Canada or the United Kingdom doing for Paul Whelan? USA is always responsible for everything I suppose.

 

Dam my respect for Parsons has tripled that's the way you do it.

I wish more people could change their stances once they receive more information.

 

Another aspect of a fascist mindset. A zero sum ideology.

Because Griner was released that means Whelan suffers.

You saw the same thing with gay marriage. Something other people getting married devalues their own marriage.

 

this makes no sense

 

I think it’s more fascist to prioritize the release of a person that has nothing more than fame and name recognition over the person that’s been in longer.
A little elitism don’t you think?
