    Yeah my sympathy to her and her loved ones, but we shouldn’t give a single thing in exchange to get her back. Every western country has their absolutely highest DO-NOT-TRAVEL-TO warning for russia. She had to actively work to get around every roadblock just to get there. Sorry, but we can’t save you from yourself

      Yeah, she at least needs to be a common women’s basketball player for us to make lopsided exchanges.

        That was also a stupid exchange. Brittney Gringer played the fuck around and find out game and she found out…

        Then we released a war criminal to get her back??? That’s not how we should be doing business. That’s allowing Russia to bully us.

          They gave into the vocal minority on social media. Most people thought it was an absolutely ridiculous trade off.
