What this shows you is what you already knew. Our government is just fine with the country being divided and could care less about 1/2 of the population.
They focus on getting elected by their half and that is all they care about

With this president and admin you can always expect the most idiotic outcomes.

I can't stand even getting on facebook and reading the comments of the people who aren't pissed off about this and defend her sorry arse.

Russia didn't want to give him up. Whelan's own family says the Biden admin made the right call getting BG out when they had the chance so it's kind of dumb for y'all to be so pissed when they understand that you can't just dig your heels in for a deal that isn't being offered.

In fairness, they got Reed (also a former marine) back from Russia earlier this year. Whether bullshite or not Whelen was convicted of espionage so the Russians might require more than Bout to let him out.
Please don't bring level headed and reasonable thoughts into this. Only outrage

That’s exactly what you do, smooth brain. The only leverage the Biden administration had is now gone and they gave it away for a person that hates America as much as Bout does.

Why do people keep saying a marine as if he is still a marine. He was discharged on bad conduct and was caught doing some really shady stuff.

The blonde haired chick stout posted not BG.
She’s in a holding cell in Russia waiting to be exported. Here’s her GoFundMe if you’d like to contribute to her flights home, that seems to be the hold up.

I don't agree with the deal for Greiner because I think we gave up too much to get her out, but I also don't know what the uproar is for this bad conduct discharged Marine either.

What's the full story on that dude anyway? I don't think I've ever heard anything about him other than "marine."

what was his bad conduct?
he was convicted of espionage. if so was he not acting on behalf of the united states? i guess it could have been corporate espionage. I honestly don't know. That's why I'm asking the question.

Biden still hasn't gotten in contact with them as of an hour ago.

NGL being an international arms dealer sounds like a pretty badass job.

You think we have no other leverage? You think BG was the only thing we had that could help get a guy accused of espionage out of Russian prison? Jesus Christ you are one stupid arse.
