Well, she admitted she put her stash of hashish oil vape sticks in her luggage. She put hashish oil in her luggage - no one else. She is guilty no matter who is running Russia or whatever her race or politics.

That is an assertion and not backed by the facts. And again no INTENT.

This is precisely why Russia arrested, tried and sentenced her. They knew it would be just one more thing for Americans to be divided over. As an added bonus (for them)they’ll probably get a much better deal in any prisoner exchange. Time to start waking up about how we’re being manipulated.

Her admission is on the record. Frankly, I find it absurd to allege she had no intent to pack her hashish oil stash in her luggage. She is a toker. She put it in there so she could get high, stoned or whatever effect one gets with hashish in Russia. She got caught and was duly arrested, tried and convicted.

They do that a lot. Putin is very shrewd and a master at manipulation.

Not all cases fit the same narrative.

I wonder how many American Cannabis "traffickers" they don't arrest?

Griner didn't INTEND to get caught. She certainly did INTEND to bring her oil into Russia for her own use. See her previous medical marijuana excuses.

If you were in a country with harsh drug laws would you admit to intending to bring drugs into that country? Probably not. Her latest statement that I know of was that she was not sure how those drugs even got into her luggage.

And she is in a very bad place right now compared to where she had been. Maybe not as bad as Putin's real enemies in Russia. She is just a pawn to manipulate us here in the US. Create more division.

Griner did nothing compared to Villages own retired Navy Captain David Lausman, a convicted felon facing 20 years in prison. He accepted bribes while a Captain in the US Navy.

So let's here the outrage over this clown!

What matters is Griner packed hashish oil in luggage she took to Russia, breaking Russian law.

I wonder what matters MORE - an illegal substance brought by SOMEONE into Russia - a substance that probably 25% of Russian citizens consume often. OR......OR does it matter MORE that "the SOMEONE" that accidentally brought in a substance is an AMERICAN? And a famous American at that! And is it a great PROPAGANDA tool to be used to PUNISH the US for its support of the Ukraine in their opposition to the illegal and sadistic war that Russia promoted against ALL the free world's and UN standards for respecting an individual country's SOVEREIGNTY?

She knows what she is talking about.

Brittany Griner is MERELY a PAWN used by Russia to score propaganda points and cause chaos between the races in the US (and it is easy to see that Russian PROPAGANDA has carried the day) But, we are told that there is NO racism here, Somehow, I, personally, can NOT buy into that.

I don't believe that Brittany Griner poisoned anyone in the UK with Plutonium as has Russia done. and often! So, I tend to root for the AMERICAN basketball player over the Plutonium poisoners !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the objective of the Brittany Griner international incident - from the Russian viewpoint, is to cause chaos in America! They employ whole troll farms to attack America. It is cheaper for Russia to use Propaganda, than to improve their Army's equipment. It is CHEAP psychological warfare. And we can see how EFFECTIVE it is in this Brittany Griner SHAME TRAIL.
