I think Putin is enjoying this too much to do that anytime soon.

This administration could fuck up a crow bar in a sand box.  How many people died because of that arms dealer,  how many more likely died over the years trying to capture him,  and how many more will die as a result of him being freed?

This can be debated, but there's no debating that the best thing to happen to Paul Whelan recently was Griner getting held. This wouldn't be happening without the outcry for Griner, which if I'm Whelan and his family, I'm fucking outraged that its taken that to facilitate his possible release.

In fairness, it's a better deal than his old boss got for a deserter.

Next thing you know, we'll be pushing to give large sums of money to Iran again to stop their nuclear ambitions.  Of course, we have to take their word for it....

There's a reason the US has a longstanding policy of not negotiating in hostage type situations.  It only encourages more of it.

Meh, maybe they should hire the Browns front office to help with the negotiations.  I hear they're awesome at it.
