...are coming home.
US Marine Paul Whelan was captured in Russia under Donald Trump's administration, and he did nothing. Trump said he would get Gershkovich released, but only if elected in November, otherwise he could rot in a Russian prison.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are getting both men home.
Russia and the United States have agreed to swap prisoners in an extraordinary multipart deal, according to a senior Biden administration official.
The swap will allow the two wrongfully detained American citizens held by Moscow, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, to return home.https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/russia-agrees-free...

That's why I don't go places that have that threat. In the Philippines there's an island(s) and a corner of a very large island that have Abu Sayyaf presence - just don't go there. The NPA are more into revolutionary tax than actually doing anything. Duterte let a bunch of them out of prison to get the NPA to the table and they ingored the table, so he began dismantling them, and many times peacefully.
The Muslims and Morros are a different story, they laid a small siege on a town. Abu Sayyaf left their island and went over to Bohol and raised hell. Didn't accomplish much but they kept being spotted different places. Abu Sayyaf normally will hold people ransom, but they executed some this time around,

Anti-NATO, isolationist Don Old doesn't understand, but president Biden and vice president Harris do...
Biden: "The deal that made this possible was a feat of diplomacy and friendship. Multiple countries helped get this done ... so for anyone who questions whether allies matter, they do. They matter. Today is a powerful example of why it's vital to have friends in this world."
America is stronger with friends and allies.
Trump is too old and too weird to understand.
