Now I wish we could bring all of our people home from hostile nations. But the outrage is ridiculous. We didn't get our ex-marine back from an international enemy and you're surprised?
We don't even take care of our ex military here at home?
@Camerondotca it's just such manufactured outrage what did the last administration do to bring him home?
@Bukowskiwithacamera bugger all. His family were like "you take the deal you can get, not some imaginary better deal". I am a big believer in "perfection is the enemy of progress".
Not one of the "pissed off at Biden" crowd (specifically re: Paul Whelan) on TW, has mentioned his court-martial conviction and Dishonorable Discharge(!).
The programming works its wonders; must be horrid to have ones mind subverted by America's domestic enemies (Fox and worse).
@zenmudprod wow thanks for sharing. I had not heard that he had a bad conduct discharge.
And it seems like this guy had a hard on for Russia.
@Bukowskiwithacamera @zenmudprod He's apparently a serial liar & thief too. Read the wikipedia entry and WaPo story from way back. And really, who goes to Russia to attend a wedding? 🤔
@Bukowskiwithacamera Trump had 4 years to try & get him back, and didn't even TRY. why the outrage at Biden for making this deal?
@Bukowskiwithacamera I've been reading a bit about him and, if I'm being like super cynical, he sounds like the US version of the two Canadian Michaels. Like, everyone SAYS they aren't spooks, but if they also said they were I'd be like "hmm.. yeah, no that tracks".
