Joe Blinks, Goes 2 Neverland In Russia Deal?

So SOS Blinken says Joe’s made a “substantial proposal” to Putin to “bring Brittney Griner, Paul Whelan home.” Perhaps in return for “Merchant of Death”? So, now, Joe’s begging Vladimir “pretty please with sugar on top?”

Of course, the Biden Administration should be working hard to bring the WNBA star as well as all US citizens illegally imprisoned by thug or even “friendly” nations. And, the diplomatic speak that we’re getting news reports on are pretty if curiously vague. But ain't it Diplomacy 101 NEVER EVER NEVER let yourself be extorted into a people “deal” as now suggested? Hasn’t that been the policy of the US since, well, since maybe Tripoli?

Is the prisoner exchange idea so preposterous? That is, that the US would even consider such a deal, with Viktor Bout aka “The Merchant of Death” who is serving a 25-yr prison term for conspiring to kill Americans & deliver anti-aircraft missiles to a terrorist organization? Fox News notes it was Russia’s state-owned news agency TASS that first reported in May that “talks were underway to exchange Bout for Griner.” Well, didn’t Joe insist during the 2020 campaign that his “negotiating skills” were unbelieveable?
