Russians Want Murderer Added to Prisoner Swap
July 29, 2022 at 3:13 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Russian government officials requested that a former colonel from the country’s domestic spy agency who was convicted of murder in Germany last year be added to the US’ proposed swap of a notorious arms dealer for Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan,” CNN reports.

“The Russians communicated the request to the US earlier this month through an informal backchannel used by the spy agency.”

1. They're running short of troops.

Resorting to prisoner swaps to fill in the gaps?

Or maybe Putin needs to take care of some more "business partners".

4. He's a German prisoner, so wouldn't it be up the German Govt.

to decide whether or not to include him in the swap?

If I were in charge, I'd tell the Russian's to piss off.

5. 'wouldn't it be up the German Govt?.. That's what I was thinking.. It's their prisoner it would be

they're call. Now if they did, the US would owe them a big favor. Now what would Germany want from the little ole USA???? Arms? no problem.. Fuel? maybe.. Some sort of technology?

8. knowing putin, he likely did this to create some sort of tension between the US/Germany

remember there is not a single thing he says or does that isn't designed deep down to help destroy western society. that's why he fueled, drumpf and brexit.

9. Totally agree. I also think he has aces in his hand and wants more and more.He knows we want

Griner and Wheland so he ups the ante.. Uff too many gambling metaphors, time to go to sleep.
