60 minutes last night

[middleview]

The second segment is titled, “VLADIMIR KARA-MURZA.” CBS’ description for it reads like this, “This past August witnessed the largest prisoner exchange between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. Scott Pelley goes behind the scenes of that historic swap through conversations with key players.

I watched the story of Vladimir Kara-Murza last night....The comments related to how the Biden administration made his release possible made me proud of Joe and his team. It took the cooperation of national leaders from Germany, France and the UK to make it happen. German Chancellor agreed to release a Russian assassin in return for including a number of German citizens and a large number of Russian resistance leaders. He is quoted as saying "I'll do this for you, Joe".

Trump could not have managed such an effort.

I added a link to the 60 minutes episode. Watch that and see if you don't get a little choked up when he recounts having an embassy staffer hand him a cell phone with Joe Biden and his family on the other end.

wait . . . what? we're trading known assassins for random hostages Putin has siezed? Again? I thought we were done with this after we got snookered with the Britney Griner swap for Victor Bout - russia's arms dealer/warlord.

we never learn.

what happened to the old policy which served dozens of presidents? "No hostage deals"

“Random hostages Putin has siezed”? Like the Americans?

Someday you may discover patriotism and criticize Putin instead of the fantastic Americans (and Germans) who worked on this prisoner exchange. Until then, you can stay side by side with your cult leader, Trump, who has you bashing the Americans who got them freed, instead of the foreign dictator who imprisoned them.

Deplorable.

"random"? Did you watch the video? I'd have traded the killer for Novalny in a heartbeat...ya know why? Because those Russians freed are those who are our allies against Putin and will do far more damage to him than the killer will do, unable to leave Russia.

Trump let 5,000 Taliban POWs go free....explain that.

He also traded Majid Taheri for Michael White...a deal with Iran. A few others as well.

i did not watch the video. i'm hearing impaired, and there are no closed captions.

navalny's death is a human rights tragedy. which was his intent all along. that's why he voluntarily returned to russia. to make a statement. to sacrifice himself for the country he loved.

i doubt he would have agreed to a prison swap. it would have negated all his decisions up to that point.

I'm honestly surprised people don't get this. the modern world appears untethered to history.

Navalny's death was murder. Whether or not he'd have accepted a swap is irrelevant to the post you wrote. He was actually on the list of people we wanted released and the swap would have been well worth it.

Back when our people did the prisoner exchange swap including Britney Greiner, we had endless carping from Trump cultists because Paul Whelan wasn’t also released. Now that Whelan HAS been released we have a Trump cultist referring to our released people as being “random hostages Putin has seized.”

Trump cultists are nauseatingly deplorable.

He’s in the same league as Navalny. Putin kills such men. He’s a murderer, pure and simple. Still, Trump just can’t say enough good things about Putin. He brags of his “great relationship” with him.

Downright surreal.
