In fairness, they got Reed (also a former marine) back from Russia earlier this year. Whether bull shite or not Whelen was convicted of espionage so the Russians might require more than Bout to let him out.
Plus Paul Whelan & his family publicy pleaded with Trump / State Department as far back as 2019 to obtain his release.

I think the fact that Whelen has been a lower priority for administrations has a lot to do with the fact he was kicked out of the Marines for attempted theft of $10k among other things. They prioritized Reed because he was by all accounts a "good" Marine.

He does have a history of leaving the military behind…1 Marine ain’t Jack…He got away with leaving untold Americans in Afghanistan. That is his M.O.

A Dementia-riddled corrupt Pedophile pandering to his voter base…not much more to it than that.

That’s how 46 rolls bruh…

Readng Paul Whelan's brothers comments on how it was the right decision and all this shite just goes to show you one thing...

I'm glad he's not my brother.

I'd prefer my family to be throwing a fit to drum up some noise. But he's cool with it so frick it. I guess leave him there.

We get a fricking WNBA player back who knowingly brought a fricking vape pen into Russia and they get the "MERCHANT OF DEATH" back.


Some victory.

shite man, anyone who has rubbed elbows with the age group that has just attained (or will soon) voting age would also tell you that we are absolutely unequivocally fricked.

Most of these kids will vote us straight into communism and vote themselves straight into a gulag. They are so disconnected from reality it's frankly incredible.


It isn't all young kids. It's a result of the changing demographic of young kids. This is from the 2022 election.

I love that y’all keep harping on this despite the fact that numerous posters have mentioned the marines troubled past

The one point that keeps getting overlooked is why was she in Russia in the first place?

All we heard when a bunch of (mainly) white male golf pros left the PGA for the LIV tour was how evil they were. They were helping the Saudis to "sportswash" themselves and their winnings were literally "blood money!!!".

Why haven't the usual suspects on here who are daily displaying their virtue standing with Ukraine castigated her for accepting blood money from Putin's oligarch buddies? Why have none of the talking empty heads in the media excoriated her for sportwashing Russia???

the biggest thing this does is open the door by making it very profitable to “arrest”/capture black/lgbtq Americans if you want something

shows US will prioritize and speed negotiations and pay up quickly for these “prisoners”

Democrats only care about other countries, and not the one they live in. Been that way for a long time.

Agreed. I never personally served, but have lots of family that have and some who are still serving. So, I have the utmost respect for those who volunteer their lives to serve like the marine who The administration couldn't give less of a shite about.

The "leadership" of this country is so bass-ackwards in every facet of policy, values, priorities, and and morality. No fricking way that an alphabet gang member should be traded for a true terrorist who plied his trade to cause nothing but death and destruction for nothing but pure greed and power.

It's fricking insane.

frick Joe Biden and his stupid arse press conference to release this zombie faced, expressionless weirdo.

A press conference, really? A real soldier wouldn’t even get a tenth of the consideration.

This is bad no doubt, but swapping 5 leading Taliban for the deserter Bowe Bergdahl was even worse.


The Bergdahl deal was awful, no doubt, but not nearly as awful as Mike Pompeo negotiating the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners for nothing in August of 2020

"We acknowledge that the release of these prisoners is unpopular..."

This is EXACTLY what they want. Their actions are calculated to troll and piss off a particular segment of the country and you happen to be in it. They want you to be angry and lash out in hopes that you cancel yourself or worse. We need to start ignoring this stuff because we can't change it, we can't override it at the polls anymore, but we can deny them the satisfaction of seeing us pissed and hurting ourselves.

Democrats couldn’t care less. If you know anyone currently serving or considering it, tell them to get out and don’t serve.

Me too. This is exactly how I feel.

She did the crime and needs to do the time. What kind of message does this show to our younger generations!

She hates this country, she wasn’t released for serving her time, she was released bc an important arms dealer got swapped.
