The Harris-Biden administration is a boon to Putin. A Trump presidency will destroy all that.
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former US Marine Paul Whelen, both of whom have been languishing in the Soviet, I mean, Russian prisons for years on trumped-up espionage charges, have been released. It appears that their release is part of a larger, multi-nation prisoner swap that includes the exchange of prisoners from Germany, Great Britain, the US, and Slovenia on the one side and Russia and Belarus on the other.
The basis for the suspicion about the multi-national, multi-prisoner release is the sudden disappearance and possible removal of prisoners in Russia from their places of incarceration and, as-of-yet unconfirmed reports online “that at least six special Russian government planes had flown to and from the regions where their prisons were located.”
Additionally, a host of Russians imprisoned in the U.S. are no longer in the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons database.
Both Gershkovich’s and Whelan’s releases are long overdue, along with the as-yet-unreported release of former teacher Marc Vogel, convicted in 2022 for possession of pot. It is a badge of shame that these men have languished in Soviet Gulags, I mean, Russian prisons, for as long as they have.
If they and several other wrongfully imprisoned Americans are indeed freed and returned (one hopes in good health), let’s not overlook the timing of this. By agreeing to this prisoner swap, Putin is signaling his support for Harris. He knows a Harris presidency is a continuation of a weak America on all fronts, foreign and domestic, which makes room for increased Russian (and Chinese) hegemony.

Putin has said Trump is interested in negotiating peace, as is Putin. Putin said he is interested to hear what Trump has to say.
That is likely true.
But Putin wants a weaker USA under word salad Harris. Which does he want more?
I think he’d prefer sane versus cray cray.
No surprise to see Marxist Democrats giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies. In this case Russian & Islamic terrorists. Birds of a feather flock together...
Goes to show just how braindead poo poo is. The Harris/Bidenskyyyyyyy clown is the reason he’s getting his ass kicked by Zelenskyyyyyy.
And if my memory is correct, wasn’t there a recent thread where US intelligence people said the Russians were gonna help Trump’s campaign?

Which to believe, hmmmm. Putin who is an excellent strategist or intel people who are trained liars?
Russian collusion...
Dumb neocon analysis. It’s like in Talladega nights when Cam was saying how he visualized Jesus with angel wings, singing leads for Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The writer in in the wing that thinks Putin is trying to help Biden. And he is terrified that Trump is gonna come in heavy and lay down the law, increase sanctions, crush the Russians, help the Euro idiots etc. She keeps referring to everything Russian as “Soviets”, “Gulags”, etc.
Neocons are going to do their best to cajole Trump into stalwart standing with Ukraine, and pumping in more sanctions etc.
It would amaze some, but Russians are not big into our elections and do things good for them. They got that Russian back from Germany, serving life for whacking a Chechen in Berlin. They got the people they wanted, and shook off some fleas and a couple of our spies.
Simple as that. Despite the neocon fever swamp mentality, it doesn’t indicate a secret Putin plan of support for Biden.
She’s trying to spin Trump into the neocon monster that Putin the Soviet is terrified of. The truth is that Putin would rather have a sane person who doesn’t have the Russophobia rabies and just makes honest deals.
And Putin already said they have accepted that nothing will much change with any new president. That the deep state in DC will not allow them to alter the direction of US policy very much, and the days of cooperation and good possibilities are not gone for many decades to come.
There is one Russian who Putin really wanted back and he is the assasin from hell. I’m sure this guy will be back to work very very soon, probably killing Ukrainians.
He just whacked a Chechyn.... no big. Everybody likes whacking Chechyns. Except DC of course, they wail in support of them.
But I think you are right. THAT is who they wanted back. And like landing that helo in 6 places so they don’t know where the team was inserted... they did a massive swap with several people from several nations, to hide the most important objective.
And they get back guy like this guy, and Viktor Bout. We get back retards like Griner, the weirdo marine with 3 or 4 passports paying money to his FSB friend, or the reporter, in Yekaterinburg, standing outside a tank plant asking workers for details about their work.
The Russians get high value people back... we get retards back they are basically tired of feeding.
Stop me if I am wrong the Russkies get 16 people we gwt 3 or maybe 4 FOX as usual does not get the story right A UAUAL
