    Russia always gets the upper hand and why were there Americans in Russia in the first place!!!?
  • @ke8mattj
    Still not getting let off for the whole Brittney Griner for Viktor Bout (aka "Merchant of Death".) That was a completely unjustifiable exchange.
  • @loloantonio1575
    Don’t make it sounds like it’s the greatest deal ever. Russia always get what they want.

    Nobody wants anything bad happening to anyone .we are united

    I keep saying it, but no one listens. Americans NEED to stop going to other countries. Those other countries will imprison any American under any bogus charges, ALL for political trade or power. But people don't listen. That Britney Swap was a complete disaster, and it was an embarrassment to the world.
  • @paulhenry5174
    What was the price this administration paid for this swap???? Because you know the american side got screwed in the trade.

  • @G0LD3NSTATE

    All Joe did was scribble his name on a blank piece of paper.
