Americans freed from Russian prisons under landmark exchange deal land back in US

Three Americans freed from Russian prisons under a landmark exchange deal have landed back in the US.

Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva and Paul Whelan were part of a deal which saw 24 people released in the biggest prisoner exchange between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

They were welcomed on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland by US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Even Biden and Harris get that wrong. Surely you’d allow them to see their families first. A show of grandiose in a hapless display of desperation in order that Biden has a “legacy”. That said, I’m all for diplomatic solutions. The alternatives are unimaginable.

Evan Gershkovich to take time out to be with his family and spend more time studying tank mechanics at his local CIA/WSJ bureau office.

Tump could NEVER bring them home and shame on him and his chaos EVERY DAY

Great timing.
Just like the looming decision by the US Fed Reserve to drop rates by 1 point in September. Everybody, apart from a very cranky, weird old man, will enjoy it.
