  • WNBA star Brittney Griner released from Russian custody in a high-profile prisoner swap between the U.S. and Moscow

    From cnbc.com

    WNBA star Brittney Griner is free Thursday after the Biden administration negotiated her release from a Russian penal colony in exchange for an arms dealer. President Joe Biden signed off on the trade, which took place in the United Arab Emirates, even though it meant leaving behind Paul Whelan, an American corporate security executive who remains jailed in Russia. The move marks one of the most high-profile prisoner swaps between Moscow and Washington since the Cold War, with the Kremlin seeing the return of Viktor Bout, who Russian President Vladimir Putin has been wanting to get back — and who had served 11 ...

this forum isnt twitter...
It proports (based on the operators, FairTrade inc), to be a space where views are exchanged between people , preferably with some economics background as a minimum, who are focused on macro economic issues including their political context because they are relevant to their market investments and the currency exchange rate.
Not for for those propagating partisan political bullshit, for persistent Anti-western trolls, alt-Right conspiratasists, or other nutters.

my friend, take what I said with a grain of salt. It was mere sarcasm. I couldn't care less about which clown wants to run the country. It is about what that clown does for the country which would result in said "partisan political point". Relax a little bit, don't live life so amped up! Take care Ross.

{quote} Yes. It's a huge swindle. Military equipment gets sold off and large amount of money went to FTX to then become "donations" to the democratic party.

Is that sarcasm, speculation or a bit of both, or is it based on a news item? I'm genuinely curious.

What I was thinking (speculating) is that a military deal must also be part of this. I suspect Ukraine has been sold down the river. I can't imagine Putin agreeing to a straight 1:1 swap while their primary rival continues to deliver HIMARS to their primary enemy combatant.

I don't know about others but all my Conspiracy Theories have come true. Am searching for some new ones currently.

Anyone who gardens and has a couple of European fruit trees knows how deep a Cold period they can handle.
Kinda suggests Europe tended to Freeze in Winter in that forgotten past.

What's good about it? How about trading me a shiny new car for a picture of a Yugo? Griner is an America hating sports player less interesting than soccer. I would trade a hamburger next Tuesday for her.

Even on purely economic value Griner plays in a sport worth peanuts, and subsidized by the men's counterpart, whine oh so freaking smart and wily Biden gave up a top merchant of death dealing in numbers much higher. FF does go with newsy things not connected to trading at all. Now where has Hunter been during the negotiations?

Just pointing out that Trees have adapted to a climate that does happen in Europe throughout History recorded and history before recorded times.
The freeze is just starting and will be around for at least next thirty years and possibly 350 as it has done in the past.

This winter alone promises a rude awakening for general populaces. Get busy, better write up some new excuses for why people will not be affording to heat their domiciles.

add: Your hero Joe Biden traded a merchant of death responsible for untold carnage and destruction for a feel good political moment of appeasement to a segment of US.
How many more people will die as a consequence once he starts up arms sales once again?
