Trump Envoy obtains release of Mark Fogel, held in Russian prison

I wonder who we gave up

 

Good. I did not remember he had lived there for years, and not sure why any medical marijuana user would want to live there knowing how draconian their drugs laws are.

 

awesome news for his family

 

Can someone dig up this board's reaction to another American citizen detained for the same reason? I wonder if the reaction will be the same?

"Marc Fogel, a teacher who was arrested on charges of bringing medical marijuana into Russia in August 2021, was released by the Kremlin and flown out of the country on Mr. Witkoff’s plane."

 

Best thing Trump has done (gulp)

 

His brother Jared will be very happy about this

 

They were ordered to say that or they couldn’t leave. Everyone knows that.

 

While I am very glad to see the release of Mark Fogel after he has been illegally held by Putin's government for four years, the question now is what was the quid pro quo?

 

Ukraine?

 

No, it's just what you say in that situation. Common sense.

 

It was forced.

 

Not much, just likely our latest drone technology and the encryption key to the F-35s that are transmitting real-time locations of Russian generals to the Ukranian drones.

So, nothing President Musk and his puppet Trump find important.

 

calls properly recorded according to the law...hahahahahahahahahah


US officials are bound for Europe for top-level talks on Ukraine - ABC News
President Donald Trump’s national security adviser said Sunday that top administration officials will meet with European officials this week about how to end the war in Ukraine, nearly three years after Russia launched an all-out invasion.

Less than a day earlier, the New York Post reported that Trump had a phone call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to discuss steps toward a negotiated solution. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew to the Super Bowl in New Orleans, Trump declined to discuss his reported phone conversation with Putin.

“I don’t want to do that. We’re trying to end that war. It’s a war that would have never happened if I were president, it would have never happened, but we’re making progress. But I can’t tell you,” he said.

Asked to clarify whether his conversations with Putin took place before he took office or after, Trump said, “I’ve had it. Let’s just say I’ve had it. And I expect to have many more conversations. We have to get that war ended. It’s going to end.”

 

If that makes you feel better, roll with it.

 

I guess he must be glad Joe isn't still in office, otherwise he would just rot in jail. Good think we have a President who values american lives.

 

Trump will fail.

 

Sad you hope your president fails since it will negatively effect you
