That’s how trades go.  Assess the positives and negatives and decide yes or no.I understand people disliking the trade and thinking it was foolish.  What I don’t get is people insinuating that we should have left Griner there and gotten Whalen back. That wasn’t really an option Putin appeared to have considered.  And yes, it does matter what Putin thinks.  So the critics don’t seem to dislike the idea of a trade.  They dislike who the other side was willing to trade.  Somehow one US citizen was worth it and the other (for what seem to be political disagreements) is not with it.  I disagree with that.</blockquote>
