Paul Whelan, an American citizen and former US marine has been imprisoned in Russia for three years on what many people think are trumped up espionage charges.
WHY has Biden left him behind?
He was arrested and imprisoned during Trump's presidency.
But Biden has been President for quite some time now and he is STILL Imprisoned in Russia. WHY has Joe left him behind?
Why did Trump fly off to his resort in Florida in Jan 2021 without ever having freed an American that was imprisoned on his watch?
More importantly, why do you want to see a black American suffer the worst the Russian penal system can through at them,
but you wail for the freedom of a white American languishing behind Russian bars?
That really deserves an explanation.
Russia's courts, police, and prosecutors are corrupt, and Putin puts people in prison all the time for political purposes.
Ms. Griner isn't the only American being held in Russia on criminal charges under suspicious circumstances.
If you have proof Ms. Griner is actually guilty of the crimes Russian police accuse her of, now is your chance to provide it to the board.
Russia's using her as a bargaining chip to get back an illegal weapons dealer.
WHY is the CURRENT President leaving them both behind? Why wont you answer the direct question?
I made no claims of Trump or Biden having magical powers to get American detainees released, therefore I have nothing to explain or answer to.
But you literally cheered for a black American to suffer the worst the Russian penal system can throw at her, while demanding a white American deserves to be rescued.
What's your explanation for the two distinctly different attitudes?
That's just kettle logic in an attempt to create a false dilemma, as part of a red herring. That is, your rebuttal has zero to do with what I stated (that nobody gives a fuck about this woman and her issues with the Russian authorities). I need no proof of anything to know that she was in a country were Blacks are all but nonexistent, and would have stood out like a sore thumb to those authorities. That likely got their attention and as a consequence, she got more attention in terms of being searched and questioned by those authorities.
There are lots of countries where the laws, authorities, etc., are corrupt or quite different from what they are in the US. So? If you are going to a foreign nation, be knowledgeable of their laws. For example, in the UK you have no protections like the 5th amendment or getting a Miranda warning from authorities. There, the law is you answer all their questions truthfully or you get an additional charge for not doing so. That isn't corruption, that's how their laws work.
Guilty until proven innocent is common around the world in criminal matters too. So? That's how the Russian system works, and it isn't uncommon either. Don't apply American values to other countries when you are visiting them. Know how the locals expect you to behave.
Can you show me where I demanded the white prisoner be let go? Whats that? YOU CANT! Then why LIE and say that I said that? I merely asked WHY Joe had left him behind. Stop lying.
Nope...NO demand for release here.
But Biden has been President for quite some time now and he is STILL Imprisoned in Russia. WHY has Joe left him behind?
Nope...NO demand for release here.
