They picked a basketball player over a marine, no wonder recruitment is so low

It’s who the Russians were willing to give up. Also if you paid attention you’d realise the USMC is actually the only branch hitting its recruitment targets.

Please take a newspaper and read all the details. How can you be satisfied with a few quick videos? There is as much complexity in the getting them released as the facts of why they were in Russia. It seems you don’t know any of the facts. It’s not that simple. Life is never simple actually. It’s better to suspect that what we get in the news here are very superficial information of what it must be. Don’t you think?

With all due respect, who gives a fuck bro?! Two wrongfully detained Americans were released, and likely saved from death. No price is too high. Just imagine yourself stuck in a RUSSIAN PRISON, convicted as a spy, when you were just doing your job as a journalist...Would you care who the US detained to get you out? If you say you wouldnt want them to do WHATEVER it takes, no one would believe you. Just put yourself in their shoes, my dude. The US did the right thing. No American should be wrongfully jailed in a prison owned by our biggest enemy.

Нынешний кремлёвский режим - это не левацкий, как было при СССР, а ультраправый, мафиозно-тоталитарный режим, и очень многие этнически русские на ура поддерживают его нацистскую идеологию, они давно ждали именно власть, которая будет проявлять себя как руссконацистская, даже в определенной степени как русскофашистская. Очень многим русским это нравится. Ведь ни для кого не секрет, насколько среднестатистический русский напичкан шовинистическими, нацистскими, расистскими, хамовато-ксенофобскими догмами, а Путлер и его мафиозно-воровская шайка дали это русским как минимум в пропаганде, нынешняя кремлёвская пропаганда - это русская гебельсовщина, и она заходит в головы русских - на ура. Хитрость в том, что этот нацистский режим использует некоторых инородцев для прикрытия и в своих тактических, ситуативных целях за большие нефтегазовые бабки. Если сейчас кремлёвские держиморды-шовинисты объявили бы о создании этнических концлагерей по типу гитлеровских или ГУЛага, то большинство русских с удовольствием это поддержали бы, а многие выстроились бы в очереди с желанием работать там надзирателями-садистами 👎🏻
