Whalen a hero?

Haven't seen anyone make that claim on here.

But he would be a more fit trade than Griner.

If for no other reason, he wore the uniform and served the country. That giraffe of a round-ball player openly despised the nation and likely still does. Maybe she learned not to assume she could spit on her home yet expect all other nations to be as accepting of her doing them the same.

She spoke her mind..

He was dishonorably discharged and defrauded the government he claimed to serve.

Russia wanted an assassin who is in Germany's prison in exchange for Whelan.

That was the only possible deal

Liberals will take anything their leader says. Ev n after the story has changed

Why didn't Trump get Whelan out in 2018?

 

[Auld Phart]

Why didn't Trump get Whelan out in 2018?

Why didn't Biden get him out in 2021?

Does everything in your life revolve around Trump?

 

[Devils_Advocate]

Biden is President and not Trump.

Who was exchanged for the Basketball Player should have been a no deal.

You do not trade a known killer for her and demand both a released and even then I wouldn’t have done the deal.

 

[odanny]

How long did Biden have to get Whalen returned before Griner even went to Russia?

Trump could have gotten him out and didn't.

Why didn't Trump get Whelan out in 2018?

Matter not why Trump didn’t do it… What matter is who was traded for the basketball player and it should have never been done!

 

[Auld Phart]

Trump could have gotten him out and didn't.

BIDEN could have gotten him out, almost 2 years ago, didn't.

It's really a function of what Pootie's willing to give up

No...it actually does matter.

 

[westwall]

That was the only Russian deal: Take it or leave it. Biden took it. Thank you President Biden!

Only an idiot would trade a war criminal for a worthless basketball player.

You lose.

you'd have a point, if Putin was the only one in the deal
