A lot of people don't even know who Paul Whelan is. Now they do.
That's a W for him too now.
I'll say this: after the whole Russia/Ukraine war, I'm confident we got elite top-tier tech security and tracking on traded prisoners in comparison vs what they probably got on who they release.
Cats think we releasing terrorists without some serious fukking tracking and surveillance on them??
If anything the people we release can possibly lead us to more of their threats. That's how you go fishing.
Because of that, any prisoner trade the US makes with Russia will be lopsided in our favor.
