Britany Greiner is being detained in Russia for carrying a product that contains canabis. This is the third week she is being detained. Russia has strict laws on importing and exporting of illegal drugs. Whether everything that you read is true is questionable. But if the dogs they have sniffed it out in her bags that is a serious issue for BG. She is facing a 7 - 10 prison sentence if she is found guilty. On the side of our government well with all the issues going on in the world our leadership and the people in the State Department are considered as weak by the views of the Russians. But if she can hire a good Russian lawyer (which will cost her a lot of money) she will be able to get off. Corruption, greed and bribes are a constant thing in Russia, the Middle East and other countries. Hopefully she can find someone that she can pay off. Lastly the Russians do not care if she is an elite Female basketball player, they do not care. Since she played in the professional Russian Female basketball league hopefully she can get a good Russian lawyer. Only time will tell.

i maintain it was planted, and now she’s being held for ransom. hopefully money can buy her out of this situation.
The upper gov't officials can state all they want that they don't care, however for the average citizen when your rubles went from .75 to the dollar down to .01 to the dollar, interest rates went from 9.5 to 20%, or if they have a American Express/VISA/Mastercard card that was issued through a Russian Bank, those no longer work for purchases. Oh, they care.
Thank you for forcing me to clarify. Yes, I mean the Russian Government.
Will the average citizen have enough "oomph" to put pressure on Putin to back off his Ukranian invasion?
If I understand correctly, she had vape canisters that were legal in America, right?
The simpler explanation is she either forgot she had that type in her bag, or she didn't realize they were illegal in Russia. (I understand there are cbd oil vape canisters with no thc, therefore she could have thought it was okay.)
I would not bring a vape pen with me on an airplane. Because that would give a government official probable cause to search and plant something on me. But then again I’m not as smart as the average WNBA player. I’m sure she will use her woke influence to get out of this international crime with a little help from her woke friends.
Why would you first think it was planted. I’m really curious. Does it really stretch your imagination that a pro athlete has oil and vapes? Come on kid think
the russian basketball league is owned and run by oligarchs. they new they were going to invade ukraine a month ago when this happened, they needed bargaining chips. otherwise a weed pen would pen wouldn’t have gotten her locked up. how’d she get through customs of the other airports she flew out of before arriving in russia? hell CHS has drug dogs.
The Russian oligarchs knew that Russia was going to invade a month ago? Did Joe Biden know that Russia was going to invade a month ago? Should Brittany Griner know? Should she be smart enough to not smuggle illegal drugs into Russia? Or should we make excuses for her/him/it?
We'll be seeing her again one day. Meanwhile we have Americans still trapped in Afghanistan. Biden has simply washed his hands of their fate and moved on without any sense of shame or regret. So has mainstream news.
Your conspiracy game is tight, but can I tell you a secret…. In life usually the simplest answer is the correct answer. So no, I don’t think they need a brittney greener to bargain with man, Russia has our astronauts at the space station with no ride home if they choose, so…. That’s a way bigger bargaining chip than a dumb basketball player. THINK
I feel bad for her. It was a dumb mistake to fly into a country like Russia “carrying”. With all this other stuff going on, I really wonder if an effective effort can be made. I hope so! She’s seems to be a good person, and for sure she’s a good athlete. Regardless of any personal habits or characteristics, she is one of ours. I hope she doesn’t have to stay there for years, but it could happen.
Interesting dilemma for the “woke. They will get a good baseline on how totalitarian governments operate with their laws and human rights.
Might be some attitudes that adjust.

You need a tour sponsor to talk about carrying illegal substances into Russia? Does someone have to tell her when to wipe her ***?
Maybe what she had was not illegal in Russia but ok every where else. Are you angry? Find some joy.
