And everyone saved face. I'm just thankful they're en route home to at last be reunited with their families. ❤

Thank you President Biden for getting these people home. 💙 All the work of a real leader who understands foreign policy.

This was so wonderful for all the families and prisoners who were arrested nothing done to the Russians. Congratulations to all involved. 🇺🇸💙

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN!! It's so sad that so many Americans - including the MEDIA - want a President to put on a show instead of just being highly effective, which Joe Biden has been and still is.

Someone should start a support group for all of the US prisoners released from Russia. They need support.

The way she talks about the shift of thinking to not do a one to one trade of a world renown arms dealer for one civilian is truly maddening. This is not some brilliant new strategy that no one has thought of before.

Stop showing photos of that weasel basketball player who broke the law.

That English teacher who was arrested is still in jail. Nobody talks about her.

The U.S. released three Russian prisoners, including an intelligence operative facing charges of smuggling U.S. technology and ammunition to the Russian military.

Im surprised they didn't spin the story to make it look like Kamala had a crucial part of this "deal".

[ImmaTwoPops]

This is how it worked
Putin” joe will you pay our ransom demands “
joe” yes, because kammy needs help getting elected “
cbs” kammy was a important part of the negotiations “
