@jeanious2009
Trump wasn’t President in 2022 when he was arrested, and isn’t President now.
So glad….but i never noticed his name in earlier stories about prisoner releases or exchanges. Has he been mentioned before?
Yes he has
Yes, his pic is on the Americans being held abroad wall in DC.
His family didn’t want much publicity, but he was definitely not unknown.
@Sweet T thanks!
hopefully soon to be “Kalinengrad former Russian territory” when it is taken for some of the reparations from the greedy evil bear
I wonder what high level nasty psycho they had to exchange for him
Good news. Finally .
Well done! Now that is negotiating!
Glad he’s released from a dictatorship country, safe journey home!!!!?🙂
Wow. Bill Richardson is a master negotiator. Cheering you on to get the rest. Thank you, Sir.
Trump is to be thanked
@jeanious2009 shhh, don’t feed the animals 😂

Trump wasn’t President in 2022 when he was arrested, and isn’t President now.
He only had a 1 year sentence. Nobody got him released lol
“This comes after months of negotiations ”
Allow talks
Create exit plan
Start dialog
Open negotiations
Let Ukraine live
Needs to get all US Vets that are being detained over seas .
It appears negotiating is the best way forward, if you want to achieve a good outcome.
Will anybody that can get away from vladdy boy and his wacky way of doing things it’s a victory all in its own right there🤔
Happy he’s home though.
