View Full Version : They Chose.....Poorly: NBC Reported Russia Told Brandon to Choose...Whelan or Griner
They made their choice. I'm sure everyone who has ever served in the US military can appreciate that choice.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/12/08/thats-unfortunate-nbc-reported-white-house-had-to-choose-between-brittany-griner-or-paul-whelan-biden-chose-griner-then-nbc-changed-report/
Just an ancillary side note to the U.S-Russia prisoner exchange.
According to an original article from NBC, the negotiations for the prisoner swap included an exchange for either LGBTQ+ hero Brittany Griner or U.S. former marine Paul Whelan.
The Russians would swap either U.S. citizen for the return of arms dealer Viktor Bout; however, the White House would have to decide which American they wanted in return. The White House decided there was greater benefit to getting LGBTQ+ hero Brittany Griner returned, and left Paul Whelan in a Russian prison.
[ NBC Report – Archived Version LINK ]
Obviously, this context of the NBC report makes the Biden administration look bad.
A political and ideological decision within the selection of the Biden administration preference. Realizing this, perhaps after contact from the White House, NBC stealth edited their story after publication in order to eliminate the political problem.
[ Current NBC Version ]
In the original version: “the Kremlin gave the White House the choice of either Griner or Whelan — or none.”
In the stealth revised version: “the Kremlin ultimately gave the White House the choice of either Griner or no one after different options were proposed.”
Even with the modified and carefully worded changes, it looks like Joe Biden chose the trans basketball player over the former U.S. marine, which, given the arc of history, does seem to make sense.

That Brandon sure is a piece of work.
He chose well. Whelan would have stood for the national anthem and that is just too much to bear.
Not sure the corruption on the left can be stopped through politics at this point.

F__k Biden!
So, we trade an arms selling/smuggling terrorist for a druggie/hates America beotch instead of a man that served the USA. Absolutely unacceptable.
F__k Biden!

Original story was "pick one". The fake news altered the story so it wasn't putting the resident in a bad light.

Obviously I'll take him over that POS 'thing.' But he's not exactly a model ****ing citizen is he? A court-marshal and bad conduct discharge?

It doesn't matter; no matter how many military or pro-military this aggrivates... they will be out-voted 5 to 1 via mail-in ballots.

Wonder if NBC will bury another reporter for accidentally reporting the truth...like they did with Miguel Almaguer?

I was raised to cover your ass. My grandmother lived though the depression in a logging camp as a half breed. Started buying gold as soon as it was legal and as much dirt as I could. :seasix:
You living in a subdivision will just be the first stop shopping for the hoodrats. :rofl:

I'm not saying the he doesn't deserve significant respect for his service, but he was courts-martialled and did receive a Bad Conduct Discharge for larceny.
He's still 10000000000 times better than the American-hating, thug bitch.
**** Biden and **** Griner!

Whelan is in jail for supposed spying, seems the USA has washed themselves of him, as trying to help him proves the russians' claim, which we have always denied.

How does trying to free an American prove anything about the man - the logic isn't valid...
BTW the Russian media propaganda arm has already said Whelan's release was a non-starter using American help because he is 1) white, 2) male and 3) heterosexual.

This exchange was so riciulous on the face of it; its applaing, now the Russian arms dealer is giddy because he's lined up to have a fire sale on all the military hardware we left in Afghanistan.

Exactly.
He’s going to make millions and assist in potential future death of Americans.
It also gets him favor with the Putin regime.

He’s been in a US prison for more than ten years, you think he’s still got a network? Besides, all his arms came from Russia, how is he an asset to Vladdy Poottie?
That said, the trade was a political win for Pootie. He knows it.
If Criner had been a strait, white, Christian male, Biden and his handlers would not have given two shits. And Pootie knew that when he grabbed her.

Of course he still has a etwork and there are lots of countries and terrorist groups that would jump at the chance to get hold of Russian weaponry.

I think the point was, the arms trade went on for the last 10 years. New players emerged, old players probably got out of the game or died. If you were out of the industry for 10 years, it would be hard to just walk back in and restart things. And those new players, say, his former subordinates, might not want to give up being the boss right now, meaning, a power play that very well may end up with the guy getting dead if he tries to regain his former position. I can't imagine the international arms trade is really moral and fair minded.

But keep in mind he is Putin's trophy and surly will be used to help his agenda. :leaving:
