    Since there was such debate about prisoners swapped in the Brittany Griner deal I think we should also keep up with the other two Americans currently imprisoned in Russia...US Marine Paul Whelan ( multiple citizenships) and teacher Marc Fogel. Let's hope they can be brought home through negotiations with Moscow.
    There isn't a clear-cut number of how many Americans are detained in Russia, but the ones that are currently known include former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan and teacher Marc Fogel. While we're at it we should scan the globe for Americans held in other foreign prisons for bogus charges.

    Yep. Get them home.

    But we should only trade good imprisoned Russians so as not to offend people's delicate sensibilities...

    Whelan looks like he was involved in something shady and the Fogel brought Marijuana into a country where its banned.
