Report Copyright Violation | Putin says he is OPEN to more prisoner swaps with the U.S. after exchanging Griner with the 'Merchant of Death' , guess we know who won that Putin says he is OPEN to more prisoner swaps with the U.S. after exchanging Griner with the 'Merchant of Death': U.S. says Russia will continue Paul Whelan talks because there are 'things they want'Russian President Vladimir Putin has now said he is open to more prisoner swaps with the U.S. after exchanging WNBA star Brittney Griner for 'Merchant of Death' arms dealer Viktor Bout in a move many saw as a victory for the Kremlin.
'We aren't refusing to continue this work in the future,' Putin said after Bout arrived home to a hero's welcome in Moscow and Griner touched down in San Antonio, Texas, in the early hours of Friday morning.
Putin said 'everything is on the table' and pointed to 'compromises' found in the past - while the White House faces criticism for leaving Marine veteran Paul Whelan languishing in a Russian jail while the Olympic medallist was brought home.
A senior White House official told CNN on Friday they believe Moscow will keep negotiating a deal over Whelan because there are 'things they want in this world. 'We have shown an openness to talk about that which is actually available to us and gotten only in response a demand for something not available to us,' the official added. The Biden administration has insisted Putin left them with a choice of bringing home Griner or no one in the swap with Bout, who was serving a 25-year sentence in a U.S. supermax jail for trying to sell arms to Colombian rebel groups. Bout has also been tied with trying to sell arms to the Taliban and Al Qaeda and was a former intelloigence officer in the Soviet Union. The Pentagon has, according to reports, raised concerns he could return to dealing arms now he is back in his home country and Republicans have said the deal means that Americans could be detained abroad simply so adversaries can engage in a prisoner swap. 'This is the result of negotiations and the search for compromises. In this case, compromises were found and we aren't refusing to continue this work in the future,' Putin told reporters during a press conference in Kyrgyzstan on Friday morning.

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.
