There is absolutely NO excuse for a swap like this. But Democrats will democrat. Communists will communist. Pedophiles will fuck children. And democrats will mutilate their genitals and "REEEEEEE!!!" at you while calling you a raycisms or something.

Brittney Griner has been released from a Russian penal colony AFTER THE OBAMA/BIDEN WHITE HOUSE WAS ABLE TIO REACH A DEAL

That deal was always there. The Obamites had just enough sense not succumb to caving into the extortion before the midterms

Brittney was detained on February 17, 2022, one week before the Russian invasion. The Russians new exactly what they were doing. Hell, the whole basketball team could have had the CBD oil in their luggage for the past 2 years and the Russians knew and just kept tabs on it waiting until they wanted to pull the trigger.

With a whole team to pick from why did the FSB pick her? Why did the Russian cowboys cut her from the herd? Forget about the tattoos from the neck down. She was picked, since she is telegenic. Whelan is not. She is also intersectional. The cowboys knew exactly what they were doing.

Will 'working hard' to release improve race relations in the US. No. We are off the 10 point scale and have to plot the increase in rhetoric and action from the Democrats on a logarithmic scale. No joke. But it does give the Obama/Biden regime some ephemeral political capital.

The asshole administration traded a jay walker for a mass murderer. It tells you the US is losing, if for no other reason than the occupants, President Puppet and puppeteers, are morons.

President Oatmeal Brains could not get a 2 for 1 deal. If 'it' had gotten Whelan and Griner for Bout, they could have declared a victory. But to reiterate, they got no victory, but they got political capital.

Yellow Belly Sap Sucker is so proud.

Russians got the better deal.

And what do you expect from a government filled with perverted degenerates who demand that you celebrate this perverted degeneracy

And who is Ukraine being supported by?

And what law did the Russians just pass condemning homosexual behavior.

So scream all you want about the Dems, liberal and progressives while you support the Ukies .....who are allies and supporters of the progressive philosophy.

None are so blind as those who will not see. Kultur Kampf. cultural war.

and remember they hate you as much as they hate the Russians.

Well--gotta say I'm happy for her as a fellow puffer. She shoulda just developed local contacts the old fashioned way. Or just enjoyed some chamomile tea. Easy for me to say. But imho her demeanor in court was very good.
Now if we can just get her out of that turbulent relationship with her lady friend, she can have peace. Just my two cents.

There is a lot of perverting going on in Russia.

Russia has 5 times the population of Canada and does not have 5X the GDP. The GDPs are about the same. that would be sin, the sin of greed. Russian leaders are very sinful//greedy.

The Russian leaders also engage in polygamy. Divorcing you wife, so you can play the field does not make it right. I use to think so, but no longer. Divorcing your wife and having 2 or 3 mistresses is effectively polygamy.

There is no difference between Nick Cannon and Vladimir Putin. None. Putin is a white baby daddy. Putin is a white N-word. A sociologist can prove it.

An apologist would would argue it is all consenting adults and baby daddy Putin is paying for his wild oats. It can be shown that this creates measurable sociological stress.

Consider this polygamy and incel are 2 sides of the same coin. If you do not like that coin, you are doing nothing about it.


To recap Russia is a mess. It is very degenerate. Many people have given up hope. It is why the drink themselves to death. You can blame long winter or the past. You can and you would be a tiny little bit right. But there is a damping factor, alpha, which says you are lying to yourself. Russia is degenerate now because the Russian leaders have practice as a matter of course many of the 7 deadly sins.

They negotiated and negoatiated and negotiate for 9 months.

In sports you get a blow by blow.

Description of battles you get a blow blow recounting of events.

But in diplomacy, they hide what they do. Maybe because one side is weak and they do not want to see how they grovel. Maybe it is because they do not do much.

You literally get more description of a poker gamer on TV than negotiations like this.

Business negotiations would have more detail.

There was an offer or proposal. The other side (Russians) counteroffered or rejected the deal.

This happened once? Twice or every week? We do not know. All we know is the Russian wanted Victor Bout and held out until they got him. The negotiations whether they happened once, twice or 50 times came down to just that. THAT IS NOT PRINTABLE. THAT WOULD BE POLTICAL SUICIDE.

So here we are with weak ass leaders.

n. Vulgar Slang

Joe Biden and the shadowy group behind him left behind a marine

Whelan could be/have been:

a) Totally innocent
b) Working for the US government.
c) Freelancing


If the answer is (a), then this situation is intolerable.

If the answer is (b), then this situation is intolerable. We should have traded Bout for Whelan or Bout for Whelan and Griner.

If the answer is (c), then Whelan is a dumbass.


Do people freelance like that as a spy against Russia?


There is a shadowy group behind Biden. He is not running things. So some group is running him. We know the names of those in the White house, but not the ones that meet him in Delaware, where no logs are kept or at least released. You are never for sure how much pull a chief of staff, VP or some other aide might have, but with Biden it is more so than most, stratospherically so. On top of the greater ambiguity, we do not know the names of the players who visit him in Delaware.

One thing for certain is that Kamala is not influencing Biden at all, so we do not have to waste time analysing how she thinks or what she believes.


Biden left a Marine behind.

Biden is old, demented, and dumb. That is why he ran circles around Trump in the election, one of the few where a president failed to win a second term!
But there is a huge conspiracy to hide the truth that only I know about and my friends also know. And that is why we did so well in midterm elections.

^ I love you too.

The DNC beat Trump not Biden. Biden cannot run around anything.

I remember Biden's 6 million dollar man jogging imitation. Something like 12 reporters showed up to the event. Those might have been flies. flies reporters same thing

If the president is one and he is enabled by those around him, he could very well ruin the nation.

Your logic to support Biden is a not well thought out.

Whelan is still in russia.

Whelan:

- Marine
- Teaching English in Russia

Patriotic, hard working and has sellable skills.


Griner:

- Anti-Patriotic
- Wife Beater
- Convict

Not hard to see why Biden et al made the decision that they did.


Putin was victorious. He got Viktor Bout back. Putin's lieutenants have more reason to believe he won't leave them high and dry. that increases trust and makes the Russian system stronger.

Blinken, Sullivan and Biden are bunch of putz's

‘Very painful decision’: How Biden chose to bring Griner home and leave Whelan in Russia

Anonymous said...

Decision

Whelan: older white male

Griner: Triple Whammy.

Not a hard decision for a Democrat to make.

My significant other is a double whammy, but I did not get them for the Democrat assigned whammy points.

Russia saw how middling power Iran always had America over the barrel in the negotiations for the hostages that they had kidnapped.

The Iran hostage negotiation are PRECEDENT. There was no way this was going to turn out any other way.

What needed to be done was for the American negotiator to tell the Russians that we were going to rip their heads) of and shit down their throats and make them believe it. But with casting central being filled with Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Ned Price John Kirby, Kamala, Joe Biden, Nurse jill, Obama and the rest, it was not going to happen. the Russians were going to laugh themselves silly and send us the hospital bill if they split their sides.

Is population a determinate of GDP? No,so who developed this type of comparison.

If you are discussing GDP growth, then that is a factor of developmental economics and involves a host of factors not just population.

Second morality : It is the official policy to recognize homosexuality, transsexual behavior snd other perversions are fully supported. It is supported to such an extent that it is expected to be celebrated.

that's one

Religious moral belief? The Russians are building cathedrals and churches. Some of these are built with state support. Does that happen in the USA? No of course not. That would never happen in progressive USA.

Corruption in Russia is bad. Probably is. Vote in Chicago lately , Hilleries emails, Hunter Bidens lap top Bankman fried, and all the rest.

Drunks in Russia? yes that has always been a problem. It is a problem in most Nordic Countries. Has the level of alcoholism gone up or down in the last 10-20 years. Unknown. But go ahead and compare that to USA Fetenyal and meth epidemic. Besides its level of drunkeness.

What is the largest export of the USA, well besides weapons , it is reported that pornography is.

So what you do not mention is the line of progress of both Nations.

So who is going thru de-evolution and who is going thru a renaissance?

Instead of Putin, We could always go back Yeltsin years where the west turned Russia into Weimar lite.

The west is a degenerate entity and getting worse. Russia, has rejected the call of the west. So it must be destroyed.
If it is not resurgent morally at least it is trying to hold the line.

So yes, by default the west is degenerate.
none so blind as those who will not see.
