Meanwhile in Russia: top state TV propagandists reveal the narrative they'll be pushing to harm Biden and enrage Americans about the exchange of Brittney Griner for Viktor Bout by falsely claiming that it wasn't Russia's decision to oppose Whelan's release, as opposed to Griner.
Russian state TV and American right-wing media are speaking from the same playbook.

Pitting Paul Whelan against Griner: ""His first problem is that he is white, his second problem is he is a man, his third problem, he is heterosexual"

Right-wing media are saying the same thing literally verbatim.

Let's compare the 2... one is an athlete who had trace amounts of a Dr. prescribed pain medicine vs the bad conduct discharged disgraced ex-marine caught trying to embezzlement American tax dollars who is being held for espionage. 🤔 Yeah... that's the same.

I also read that the Russians wanted to wait so they wouldn't give Biden a Victory before the midterms. It's amazing how the Russians really went Trump back into office. Too bad Trump didn't ask his good buddy Putin to release those Americans being held on trumped up charges.
