VERY interesting… Russia is using the Griner swap as propaganda.
What a surprise! NOT!
Russian state television, which is notorious for propaganda, discussed the exchange, mocking the United States for swapping Griner instead of Whelan.
A program moderator referred to Whelan as a “spy,” saying that Whelan is a hero to Americans. However, the moderator specified three things against Whelan regarding the U.S. winning his release.

This didn’t do anything to enhance our standing in the world view, and I’m afraid it painted targets on any ‘high value’ Americans travelling internationally.
Off topic rant removed.
Our side is ruled by NWO commie traitors. They aren’t stupid, these aren’t mistakes. They install o fool to make it look like incompetence. Gives them plausible deniability. Gives the sheep something to complain about. VOAT HARDER!!!
I’m surprised that anyone would be surprised/shocked.whatever at the Sovie—, ahem Russians making propaganda hay from the prisoner swap debacle. But I’m Cold War vintage, so I might be a wee teeny bit biased.
Tree- You do havea point…
TXRed- Yep, you and me both! Not surprised that is…
Hey Old NFO;
This is my shocked face….. :/….no really! I also am of Cold War Vintage, and I would have been surprised if the Soviets. er I mean Russians didn’t make political hay out of the exchange. heck President Trump got people released from several crapholes and we didn’t bargain away any HVT’s, but I wonder about the clowns in Foggy Bottom who supported this trade, I suppose that she checked off a bunch of boxes for the progressives that made her more valuable.
We can never underestimate the stupidity of fools in high places nor the people who vote for them.
I saw that infovid and thought the Russkies had a point, I’d be laughing too. As it is, yet another virtue signalling exercise in trans buffoonery by our beloved rulers.
Which country’s more bolshevik radical today, Russia or the US? The US, curiously, became the first country in the world after the Soviet Union to enact no fault divorce. How things have progressed since then.
