Friend of Kim Jong Un to go to Russia to advocate for WNBA's Brittney Griner's release

Early Rodman

The friend of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, says he has "permission" to go to Russia to advocate for WNBA player Brittney Griner who was sentenced to nine years in a scummy Russian prison for having cannabis in her possession. That friend of Kim's is none other than the beautiful Dennis Rodman.

“I got permission to go to Russia to help that girl,” Rodman told NBC News. “I’m trying to go this week.”

The outlet's report did not specify who Rodman claims gave him “permission” to travel to Russia to lobby for Griner’s release, but it likely wasn't Joe Biden because he needs permission to give permission for something so important.

Rodman claimed that he helped with the release of American Kenneth Bae after speaking with his buddy Kim.

And while no permission is currently needed to travel to Russia, the State Department advises U.S. citizens against going there due to the Ukraine invasion by the Russians and the U.S. Embassy's limited ability to assist Americans should they need help there.

American credit cards and debit cards don't work anymore in Russia.

NBC News tried to reach out to the White House regarding Rodman's plans but they did not respond to media outlets.

If Rodman is successful securing the release of Griner, it isn't known whether she will continue to take a knee during the national anthem, or if she will play basketball in the future.

The State Department has been in negotiations to free Griner, but efforts have seemingly failed so far because no country takes the Biden administration seriously.

Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport on February 17 after cannabis-infused vape cartridges were found in her luggage. She pled guilty to the drug charges.

Following Griner’s sentence, alleged President Joe Biden released a statement condemning the decision. The statement was prepared for him by a staff member whose language skills have not deteriorated to Biden's level and has a basic understanding  of the situation.
