They did even get the other prisoner, Paul Whelan, released in Russia that Biden was demanding for the arms dealer in this exchange. What a complete failure. "Notably, the Griner-for-Bout exchange leaves retired U.S. Marine Paul Whelan imprisoned in Russia. Whelan has been in Russian custody for nearly four years. He was convicted on espionage charges that the U.S. has called false." https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/brittney-griner-release-russia-prisoner-swap-viktor-bout/
"WNBA star Brittney Griner traded for up and coming rookie Merchant of Death plus a hostage to be named later."
Yeah, it's very unfortunate that Paul Whelan was not included in the exchange. But it should be recognized that it's a lot easier to use people as pawns if you happen to be a sociopath and pathological killer.
This is the most one-sided trade since Herschel Walker went to the Vikings. But I guess it's sort of even -- trading one America hater for another.
meaning??? like an international arms dealer nicknamed "merchant of death" free as a 4 day old doughnut.
Yeah, I know it's not a great outcome, and that you would have preferred to hang tough, strut and swagger - when someone else's life is on the line.
no no, you cant have it both ways that's what liberals do. you cant be pro life and anti life at the same time. that's called a paradox.
