'So, this was a situation where it was either Brittney Griner or nothing,' said David Kramer, an Executive Director at the George Bush Institute.
Somewhere between the applause and the criticism surrounding the prisoner swap that freed Texan Brittney Griner from a Russian prison, there is one thing that is certain: the situation is far more complicated than social media can ever capture.
"Putin himself is responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. How do you negotiate with a guy like that?" "My last visit was as a private citizen and I did not feel comfortable; now, this is 2009. This is 13 years ago, and I haven't been back since." "The Russians will look to capture Americans," warns Kramer. "I think Americans obviously should stay out of other countries that have a track record of detaining, arresting prosecuting and imprisoning Americans."
