Yea, because you guys didn't even know who he was until you downloaded your talking points this am... 

 

I'm not sure who you mean by "you guys," but I knew exactly who he was and his resume.

 

Either way, the value of well known US citizens as hostages goes up yet again.

Whelan but you can say the same thing about Bout...


Well, you're wrong on both accounts. Especially Bout. If you ever watched "Lord of War" you know exactly who he is because Cage's character was loosely based off him.

Once again - they haven't been discussed in detail here - especially by leading members of the cult.

I didn't know Bout would be someone to talk about on this page. Someone who was put in prison nearly 10 years ago. And I have only been on here for about a year. 

 

But again, has nothing to do with anything. I posted to you about this in a reply. You didn't respond to my points.

What questions of yours did I miss?

Huh? Nobody would know who Griner is either if she didn’t play basketball. So what? 

 

I wouldn't know who she is if she didn't get arrested and thrown in jail. WNBA isn't exactly big time.

I wouldn't have known who she was if I didn't live in CT and UCONN wasn't a powerhouse in women's basketball.

Funny how the I hate millionaires taking care of millionaires now all of a sudden have no problem with millionaires taking are of a millionaire.  If Joe the Plumber gets arrested in Russia and is unfairly sentences do you think he'd have the US government jumping through hoops to release him?  

Maybe Russia targeted someone famous

Yet somehow BillSy believes the only people worth trading for are those that are considered ‘socially popular’ people? That seems rather elitist, no? Tell that to the families of plain regular folk stuck behind the ‘iron curtain’.

I am sure if she was your daughter….you would have said….”No….let her rot….it will just set a bad precedent”

 

Bunch of armchair a holes here.

Yikes! With all due respect, I think you’re missing the point here.  In general, people are happy she’s coming home. Your comment completely ignores the plight of the OTHER parents who aren’t seeing a similar concentrated effort from their government.

Where did he say "let her rot" in the post you quoted?  I hope you quoted the wrong person.

Who Whelan or Bout? 

 

Both.

Whelan  and his family's pleas' have been in the news for months.

 

Bout's conviction was highly publicized.

 

It would be interesting to see how DEA folks think about this, as he was perused by them for years and finally caught in a sting in Thailand.

Lots of time. Lots of money. Probably lots of risk spent on this guy who was perfectly willing to sell SAMS to whoever wanted them to shoot down airliners.

Here's the thing... if Biden hadn't got Griner, was still trying to get both Whelan and Griner but struggling to do so... I don't think anyone would be complaining. We get it... it's Putin, Russia. Not an easy person to negotiate with. We have no idea how Trump or his administration worked on getting Whalen back. 

 

BUT, Biden DID manage to come to terms with Russia. He gave up one of the worst men on the planet for a person who was breaking the law in the country she was in. If Trump did that, YOU'D be on here freaking out and sharing 40,291,342 tweets from leftists. 

 

This is who we just turned over to Russia: https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/viktor-bout-merchant-death-sentenced/story?id=16080286

Almost Nobody knew who she was before the arrest in Russia and yeah, WNBA is pretty far down on the popular sports list.

Happy for Griner. 
 

Sad that we still have a marine and others over there. 
 

Id be less inclined to believe the trade wasn’t made because she’s a famous black lesbian if the administration didn’t constantly tell us that she’s a famous black lesbian.  
 

If you’re a white man that votes Dem, you’re just voting for your own self destruction at this point.

You have to be kidding me, right?  Viktor Bout was one of the most notorious people that was sought after.  Him leaving the aircraft in handcuffs were all over the news stations.

 

Well, of course - Bout is notable but look at his history here with the cult - you really need to keep up with the context of the conversation BillyB.

This is nonsense.

I never expressed anything relating to not getting her out.

 

If she was my daughter she wouldn't be bringing illegal drugs into a country that is known for this kind of crap, just as she wouldn't visit North Korea.

I couldn't care less about this, but it is undeniably a grossly disproportionate exchange, as always.

And sports in general is moving down the popular entertainment list for many such as myself.

Trump was on the verge of getting Whelan out. If you and your liberal buddies wouldn't have cheated him out of his second term Whalen would be home by now. 

 

Loser 

 

He had two years and screwed the pooch.

Whelan was arrested in 2018. So why didn’t Trump get his BFF Putin to release him?

 

Biden was elected in 2020.  So why was Biden not able to get his new BFF to release him?

And Biden has had pretty much the same time.  Has he screwed the pooch too or is he immune from such criticism?
