Russia asked for the release of Viktor Bout the true life person Nicolas Cage's character in the movie "Lord of War" is based on.

You know US won't budge in this case....at least not immediately.
Yeah, I saw it on CNN. But I taught it was US that wanted to exchange Viktor Bout for her

Oh, they sentenced her at last.
Even Joe Biden couldn't do anything about the case.
Perhaps, she is guilty as charged.

It is a drug case..USA can't do anything about it.

There are many American citizens in jail aborad for similar offences

Why will any American in their right mind even consider going anywhere near Russia at a time like this with tensions so high even before the war there were rumours of the war and she should have known what russia would do to any American caught,then she now come carry igbo oil enter there?She isn't serious at all. Even me a Nigerian won't be caught anywhere near Russia at a time like this. The Lord is her strength but she was really foolish and careless,She really should have known better.

The odds were against her from the onset as a Gay American, because what is less than one gram of cannabis oil to earn her 9 year in prison?

Release her so that she can be with her WIFE undecided

That word from Biden concerning the lady (being married to a woman) just tire me I swear undecided

In the US being gay, lesbian or trans is now a thing of pride. Tufiakwa angry

This world has gone to shits.

Lol I knew she was gay even before I researched on her. Her “wife” is fine but she looks like a trans woman.

America is so confusing. Is anyone still straight and non-trans in that country at all?

Fantastic. This will teach her a lesson to understand that what is legal in your country is illegal in another country. Learn to know other countries' rules of engagement before traveling shocked shocked.

She had lived and worked in Russia for seven years so this was not a case of ignorance. She knew Russian law. She deliberately broke it.

Countries have different rules for drugs.

One American executive once was arrested in Japan for bringing in drugs that are prescription drugs in the USA, illegal in Japan.

Remember what happend when Aregbesola allegedly called for legalization of marijuana in naija , and the amount of abuse he got that he had to retract his comment.

The woman is lucky. If she carried that stuff into somewhere like Indonesia....

She played in the Rusain Basketball league during the US off-season.

WNBA players don't get paid a lot, so they augment with playing elsewhere.

Hmmm it is true what they say that “he who the gods want to destroy, they first make mad”. America is degenerating into complete lunacy and they don’t even realize it.

take 1 gram of cannabis into US and see what happens

Biden won't kill somebody. Which one is, let her be with her wife? Which one be with immediate release? Who does crime without intent?

Of all place to carry drugs into na enemies territory. Una think say na Taiwan?

When can a crime be adjudicated as honest mistake? Terrible line used in feminist USA not in Russia.

To test this theory, when next you are going to America, take this same amount of marijuana and see if they won't treat you even worse
