How many lives do you think will be saved by releasing one of the dirtiest and corrupt Russian arms dealers back into action?
Why didn't Trump bring back Whelan....? after all wasn't he and Putin best buddies.. and he gave Billions of dollars of military equipment to the Taliban.
Ahh, I think he was pretty well up and running and well-oiled long before the Iraq invastion. He had a solid reputation as a UN arms embargo and sanctions violator into several African companies in the 90's. He did have early involvement with the U.S but even that started before Iraq. He was supplying Northern Alliance/Massoud operatives in AFG before the Taliban. His entire career is shadowy. He is a former Soviet officer, alleged KGB or other operative according to who you talk to. Let's just say he learned some "helpful" skills there to get him off to a start. He will be right back at it by the end of next week. He is still in good with all the Russian powers, and Russia still has messy operations going in all those same-old, same-old African countries so the arms smuggling goes on, plus the Russians need arms, so business gonna be good again. He is ethnically and by-birth a Ukrainian by rather imagine that he is of the pro-Russian wing of the Ukraine and procuring arms to kill Ukrainians probably is no issue for him. Just as reminder, we had him in the slam to do 25 years, and traded him for a cannabis-head who would not stand for the National Anthem. Meanwhile, the white, straight guy- a former Marine- is still there.
Look at this idiot chiming in... Donald Trump, who ignored Paul Whelan for two years, says deal to return Brittney Griner to US was ‘stupid’ Mr Trump did not mention Mr Whelan’s name a single time during the two years he was held in Russia on his watch, nor did he bring up the former US Marine during a 2019 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ump-brittney-griner-paul-whelan-b2241800.html Two years after his term in the White House ended without him mentioning his name, Donald Trump is now claiming the Biden administration’s prisoner swap to return wrongfully detained WNBA star Brittney Griner home is a “stupid” and “totally one-side transaction” because it did not include US Marine Corps veteran Paul Whelan.

This was an awful deal that never should have been made and I know that the punishment for Griner was over the top. However, bringing drugs into a country like Russia was completely idiotic. I think we have to make citizens aware we aren't going to bail them out if they go to hostile countries anymore. We've made deals in the past for Americans dumb enough to go to North Korea where American citizens are simply pawns for the Kim regime.
With Joe as our Leader I can be dumber for America. Joe is a daily inspiration. Just when I think no one could do anything more stupid Joe Biden tops it ever time. No one has ever had the balls to play the game like Joe Biden. TS,FF, and R are evidence that you can get a lobotomy and still function in Socialist America. What America needs next is an African American Female/Trans President. Until America has an African American Female/Trans President, the United States will always be racist. Systemic racism is everywhere. When no one likes you it is either you or them. Unless you are a racist you know it is them.
No, I don’t think you can. You are as dumb as you can possibly be. Congratulations on achieving your genetic potential.
It's time for a MOAB to "mysteriously" fall from space onto the Kremlin, while Putin is having breakfast.
