“Just because Griner espouses anti American views shouldn’t mean that she should get a big prison sentence for thc possession.”
Agreed—she deserves to be treated just like anyone else caught for the same crime in Russia.
Nine years.
No black privilege.

No thanks...I lasted about two pages in Solzhenitsyn.I tried to make it through The Gulag Archipelago but ultimately it was just too depressing.
Never made it through Anna Karenina and never attempted War and Peace.
Dotoyevsky was easier, Crime and Punishment anyway.
Someone once described Russians as a dour people inclined to suicide yet capable of the occasional great novel or symphony.

It’s a great opportunity to gain fluency in Russian. Think she’ll do it? (Not a chance!!)

She’s been in long enough
Putin should have traded her for his rakish arms dealer buddy

She should embrace this time as an opportunity for personal growth . Pursue yoga or qigong and meditate. If inmates can work she should do so. Ten years will pass. She’ll be a different person .

There’s hope Brittney, there’s hope. Just volunteer to serve in the armed forces in Ukraine, and you might get a full pardon!
To: Bon of Babble
I would guess that if she serves her full sentence she will then be released.

Trump will bring her back when he is in office. That's probably her best bet at this point. But Trump will never get credit for it.

On the brighter side, she’ll be able to earn thousands of rubles while incarcerated...

All of the Russian names confused the heck out of me.
Each character in a Russian book has at least five names.
