Kind of curious, so soon after the assassination attempt on Trump and murder of an American by an assassin, that in exchange for these people Russia was holding hostage, Biden gave the Russians back their assassin, Vladimir Krasikov.

You know who he assassinated…right?

A Chechen radical islamist terrorist who also made war crimes videos of himself torturing and killing captured Russian soldiers……one source said videos of himself running over their heads

…..and when the radicals were defeated in Chechnya…fled was somehow granted asylum in Berlin

No safe haven

Col Krasnikov will be given a hero’s welcome back in Moscow

Just the other side of the story

Another interesting factoid about Putin’s pet assassin, released from a German prison to trade, is that the assassin, Vladimir Krasikov a/k/a Vadim Sokolov, carried out his murder in broad daylight very close to Merkel’s office in Berlin using a bicycle....

He was in a German prison.

I know. The Germans didn’t want to release him.
But they mayhave agreed to help Biden.

Krasikov is a terrorist too, and more than that, he is a trained assassin. Russia wasn’t at war with Germany, yet he went to Germany disguised as a civilian and tourist on a bicycle, and murdered an enemy of Putin right outside the office of Germany’s leadership.

That’s pretty bold. As bold as someone riding into a Trump rally on a bicycle and. then trying to murder Trump, maybe as a favor both to Iran and Russia, either of which would be overjoyed.

Do you think that was his first kill in the service of the FSB was the one in Berlin?

I highly doubt it.

So….Putin shoulda used predator drones like obama and brennan, to take out terrorists and murderers of their POWs?

The SF Colonel did a clean hit with no collaterals. Unlike obama’s international extrajudicial activities.

72 Virgin express.

How very …Mossad

Pretty bold of Germany to give asylum to war criminals eh

So was it actually anyone’s birthday, or was the song just some more totally inappropriate Biden weirdness?

Speaking of torture:

... “After more than three months of untreated pancreatitis and gallstones, Sergei Magnitsky went into critical condition. The Butyrka authorities did not want to have responsibility for him, so they put him in an ambulance and sent him to another prison that had medical facilities. But when he arrived there, instead of putting him in the emergency room, they put him in an isolation cell, chained him to a bed, and eight riot guards came in and beat him with rubber batons.

That night he was found dead on the cell floor.

Sergei Magnitsky died on November 16, 2009, at the age of 37, leaving a wife and two children.

I received the news of his death early the next morning. It was by far the most shocking, heart-breaking, and life-changing news I’ve ever received.

Sergei Magnitsky was murdered as my proxy. If Sergei had not been my lawyer, he would still be alive today....” —— Bill Browder

Hmmm...
Don’t have a problem with that as long as he did not sniff her hair, nuzzle her ear, and his hands stayed OK...

Now do Gonzalo Lira, the journalist the US ignored in a Ukrainian prison
His crime: blogging true commentary from Kharkov, which did not please the US or Zelensky

Tortured, died

The bold part is incorrect. The scumbag was NOT granted asylum. He was due to be deported, but due to the fact that he would be executed upon his return home, German law precludes a direct deportation. (Because...the NAZIs and all that) The legal term is Duldung - toleration. I will agree that he was effectively allowed to stay without meeting the criteria for asylum. Happens too much...
