The Russians came back to American negotiators both in and outside the administration insisting that they wanted three or four prisoners released, the person said.
“Back and forth it went until it was one-for-one,” the person added.
Despite Moscow’s hard-line stance over the fall, some U.S. officials said they hoped the Russian government would be more inclined to cut a deal for both Americans after the midterm elections...
vlad unreasonable? nah…
After the midterm elections. Smh.

Now that's a reasonable take. But based on other things you're saying here I don't think you understand why.
Pretty straight forward.

All of this whataboutism on Griner seems to be delaying the annual hand wringing campaign over the desperate War for the soul of Christmas. There will be plenty of time to lament Griner's release and Hunter's laptop after the holidays. Now is the time to decry secularism and buy a new big screen 8K Sony!
Tweedlledum and Tweedledee need to remember the reason for the season.

but good deflection anyway
I'm a lot nicer person than brittney griner. I've never trashed my home country just to beg for them to rescue me. And I dont just start swinging on people during basketball games
