During the tucker interview Putin claimed he hasn't spoken to Biden in years.

[jacobsamuelson]

My question would be. If he wanted to get them home as early as possible and he had the power to do it now. Why not earlier?

[randomreviews]

If it was so important, why did they pick the athlete over them before???😂

[nosleepbro]

If they were trans old Joe would have got them home faster 😂

[hoss]

Yeah Joe didn’t talk to anyone. He’s just take credit for it

[steveashworth]

What about Americans he left in Afghanistan!, this shouldnt even be a discussion until he resolves what he did to our people in Iraq.

[VerifyTheTruth]

How many total foreign prisoners are there in countries around the world?
I've heard there are black sites which operate in multiple nations under the discretion of such governments.

Stop lying to Americans, without engagement with Vladimir putin, not deal...

[MrsDianaG]

This headline is misleading and meant to cast a negative light on such a great achievement. Maga click bait. I don’t care if he has to talk to Putin or not as long as they’re out. Thanks joe! 💙💙💙
