Major Prisoner Swap - Gershkovich/Whelan Released

If he did

Well, that's always the story with Trump, isn't it. Not "what he did", but "if he did" (I'm sure it would have been great. )

Lefties told us that the Russians would do anything to get Trump in office now they tell us that Putin changed his mind? It doesn't take a freaking rocket scientist to understand that our enemies would rather deal with a weak incoherent administration than a strong president. The logical conclusion is that Biden's best pal will do anything to get Kamala in office.

Intelligence Report: Russia Tried To Help Trump In 2020 Election

The report says Russian leader Vladimir Putin authorized a campaign to assist former President Donald Trump and undermine Joe Biden, though it was not on the same scale as Moscow's efforts in 2016.

Yes, even for an alleged deserter.

Alleged ? He left his post and the lives of his fellow soldiers where put in danger to look for him. He is a piece of shit that should have been left to rot.

Smart idea from Sleepy Joe's handlers here. Had Biden been pushed out of office last month in favor of Kamala, this entire fiasco would be laid at her feet. Now she can avoid the backlash on releasing all of these Evil Russian oligarchs, yet still be in a position to try and benefit from it.

LOL..no Oligarchs released..just the odd hitman and thief--and a couple of bumbling spies~

In the end, the deal hinged largely on one man: Krasikov, who was found guilty of murder three years ago.

Biden alluded to the complexity of working with Germany to secure the release of Krasikov in his remarks on Thursday.

“The demands … required me to get some significant concessions from Germany, which they originally concluded they could not do because of the person in question,” the president said, referring to Krasikov. “But everybody stepped up. … And it matters — to have relationships really does matter to do these things.”

He's right. Joe Biden has fostered relationships with these governments for over half a century. Trump threatens them if they don't pay his monthly protection money, like a two bit hood.

This is a disaster!

Joe Biden never should have agreed to this without the Russians promising to take tRump back!!!

Kidding, of course.

“The deal that made this possible was a feat of diplomacy — and friendship,” Biden said Thursday as he announced that three American citizens and one green-card holder had been released from Russian prisons. “For anyone who questions whether allies matter, they do. They matter. And today is a powerful example of why it’s vital to have friends in this world — friends you can trust, work with and depend upon.”

The line was a thinly veiled jab at Republican nominee Donald Trump, who has often criticized allies while pushing an “America first” agenda.

Asked directly what he would say to Trump, who has previously attacked Biden over Americans held abroad, the president responded with a question of his own.



“Why didn’t he do it when he was president?” Biden said. About an hour later, Trump blasted the deal, saying it set a “bad precedent.”

 

[Synthaholic]

Yeah, why DIDN'T Trump do it?

Trump took to his social media site to suggest that U.S. negotiators had gotten the short end of the bargain, without expressing any gladness that the captives returned home safely.

“How many people do we get versus them? Are we also paying them cash? Are they giving us cash (Please withdraw that question, because I’m sure the answer is NO)?” Trump wrote on Truth Social about the deal with Russia. “Are we releasing murderers, killers, or thugs?”

Trump falsely claimed he freed Americans held abroad with “never any cash.” In 2017, Trump authorized a $2 million payment to North Korea to bring home American college student Otto Warmbier

Just encourages Putin to arrest more westerners....

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

No congratulations to the families. No welcome home to the US civilians. Just partisan hackery. This guy cant die soon enough from clogged arteries and hate.

Once again, Trump demonstrates he’s a scumbag.

All he had to do was post something positive about Americans coming home.

But Trump can’t even do that.

If he did this exchange you would all be losing your minds.


Biden let go murderers and hackers and convicted spies:

Just like with the failed assassination attempt by dems, when they hide facts about what they gave up or did, you can bet it wasn’t in the US interest…
