How much more arms trafficking Bout's going to be able to accomplish, now that he's under the watchful eye of every intelligence agency in the world?
Viktor's not much of a danger anymore.
Oh! So you have information that twump tried to negotiate for Whelan's release?
The ignorant and disgusting troll is you, Hawk. It will always be you. I've never seen you contribute anything valuable to this forum. We learn zero from you. You're a JPP punchline, as you were at DP, nothing more.
Biden has again displayed his supreme ignorance of foreign affairs.
Putin beats him like a rug.
A drug abusing America hating basketball player exchanged for the “Merchant of Death.”
The murdering terrorist is now free to continue murdering Americans and the Marine is left behind.

If it was possible to get Whelan out, why didnt Trump do it?
The timing was suspect. I hate to think she stayed an extra day for politics.
The Obama administration exchanged five Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl on May 31, 2014. In a Rose Garden ceremony announcing Bergdahl's return to the U.S., President Barack Obama (D) said, "As Commander-in-Chief, I am proud of the servicemembers who recovered Sergeant Bergdahl and brought him safely out of harm’s way. As usual, they performed with extraordinary courage and professionalism, and they have made their nation proud."[1]
The exchange by Biden is similar to the atrocious Bergdahl exchange.
Biden swapped an America hating, drug abusing basketball playing deviant for the “Merchant of Death.”

Key phrase "not much". If his release results in the single death of an American or an allie, is it worth the trade? Not in my opinion.
IMO, the US keeps getting played when negotiating with terrorists, rogue leaders and other violent criminals.
There are many patriotic Americans who feel it was worth the trade. I am one of them, and I don't consider myself stupid or "indoctrinated".

Sure, but, IMO, those "patriotic Americans" are not experienced military or intelligence people much less hostage negotiation experts. Fine.
Why do you think it's a good idea to negotiate with terrorists, blackmailers and rogue leaders? Remember how North Korea played the US for years with their nuclear research?: "Give us grain or we'll research nukes!"
IMO, appeasement doesn't work. It only kicks the can down the road leaving someone else to fix and leaving more American citizens at risk.
If he did, he's a dead man walking. Wait for news of his sudden expiration.
That's pretty close to what CNN quoted him as saying during a phone conversation yesterday.
"Whelan said he was happy that Griner was released, but told CNN, “I am greatly disappointed that more has not been done to secure my release, especially as the four year anniversary of my arrest is coming up.”"
There you go. No matter what Biden does, Toxic TOP and her ilk will find fault with it. Remember all the bitching about the end of the war in Afghanistan? Instead of blaming the suicide bomber for the deaths of our people in Kabul, they blame Biden. Always Biden.
I can guarantee you that most of the Reichtards bitching in this thread wouldn't be saying a single word about Griner's release if she had been a white male sports star.
I saw part of the interview with him last night on NBC Nightly News. He seemed remarkably calm about his brother remaining there while Griner was released. He agrees with the Biden administration on their decision and focus.
Biden is responsible for the Americans' deaths in his abominable withdrawal from Afghanistan just to meet the 911 headlines.
Biden has their blood on his hands and the Americans left behind.
Even with the progress, David Whelan said the U.S. "needs to be more assertive" in its negotiating with bringing home American citizens. "If bad actors like Russia are going to grab innocent Americans, the US needs a swifter, more direct response, and to be prepared in advance."
