Ha ha ha....yes that's no doubt the case as this has happened before....we release terrorists...Russia releases American journalists....that's an even swap?

02-Aug-24
Journalists? What are those ?

Hey l am definitely not a Biden Harris or Blinken supporter. By any stretch of the imagination.

But blinken’s team got them home with tricky trading. So to be fair. It’s hard for me to do, but, Credit where credit is due.

Why would anyone go there knowing what what the risks are? Unless the government is sending you there in my opinion you are going at your own risk. Choices!

Yep its election season.

I like Trump's warning to HAMAS. release the hostages now, if you don't and I am elected you will pay dearly....

Glad folks are coming back. Let's get the rest of them, sooner than later.

Putin wanted to give Biden/Harris a "win" because he wants American weakness to continue for 4 more years. That's the only reason for the prisoner swap. He is afraid of Trump, as well he should be.

02-Aug-24
I’m sure he prefers Biden, Blinken and Harris to Trump.

But on this deal he got his freind the assassin back

Yeah....this one sounds about as good of a swap as a basketball player for an arms smuggler/terrorist . Wake up twinks .... Hardly ANY of these "prisoner " trades are good for the USA.

Yes, glad the are home and that the press kept the pressure on. Why aren't they doing the same for the American citizens taken by Hamas I'll never understand. It seems the only one that cares about them are Israel.

Americans are told not to go to Cuba but Russia is ok? As long as Putin is in office no American should go there. Although a reverse swap of Anna Chapman for Griner sounds like a good deal.
