You are clueless on this... Putin got his best agents back because he took hostages and you think he will stop taking them? Clueless.Vlad got his assassin that killed a Chechen asylee in Germany, a few other nobodies from European prisons, and 3 cybercriminals held in the US in exchange for a bunch of innocents, including Whelan who Trump didn't care to free, and is now sad because Biden did. He tells you how insecure and anti-American he is constantly and you drink that milkshake anyway.Yup and instead of doing something about it at the UN, expelling diplomats, media, they gave back Russians top people, inviting more of this crap.
To Earn
Even if Putin "won the deal", which is debatable, it's un-American af to use this for political points, and it's especially fucked to praise the dictator who imprisoned those innocents in the first place. It's psychotic and un-American as it gets. He was trolling, haha, get real. It ain't a joke. The dude does this all the time and has convinced you that Russia is cool. You buy it.
I can't grasp the transactional mindset that this was a bad thing. We protect our own, whatever the cost, and that is honorable and American af. Trump is the opposite. He's in it for himself and nobody else. This is another checkmark. He's proven it daily for 9 years and it's getting worse. He's losing his shit and desperate.
Spare me the "should have done something else!" shite like we haven't been doing everything we can to counter Russia besides putting boots on the ground. You cry when we invest in countering Russia, you cry when we don't. It's transparent hypocrisy at it's finest. Putin is at war with Ukraine, NATO, and America. Better get used to it until Putin is dead.
Wake me up when we expel their embassy staff, or put more sanctions.
