Of course, if Biden releases a notorious arms dealer in order to get Griner back, I'd say Russia will have won, no matter how ridiculous the whole trial and detainment has been.

On the plus side, our brothers at The Babylon Bee pointed out that there's an upside to being internationally detained for those in the social justice camp!
