Out here in the West, horse trading was a tradition and necessity. Rancher Joe had a big draft horse he no longer needed and Farmer Pete had 2 old nags that could ride but barely so. Rancher Joe knew the value of his big draft horse a working horse of some considerable size and strength. Farmer Pete knew his nags were useless but fancied them up a bit with some sweet talking and made the trade. This was a lousy deal for Rancher Joe. Of course Farmer Pete laughed his ass off having really gotten over on Joe. So did all of the neighboring ranchers and farmers. Now, everyone wanted to make a horse trade with Rancher Joe.
Value for value is the basic tenet of all trades and bartering. Sure, at times you give a little more than received if it fulfills some extra need but too much. Generally speaking, you don't trade gold nuggets for turnips.
Biden is a lousy horse trader. He traded a high value prisoner (gold) for an WNBA player (turnip) leaving a dedicated Marine (lots of gold) in a Ruskie Prison. Maybe Biden perceived some woke PR benefit in getting back the WNBA star, after all she checked two of the main boxes, black and Queer. Now in contrast, let's see what Putin got in the trade...everything he wanted, the Mechant of Death. Good going Rancher Joe.
BRING HOME U.S. Marine Paul Whelan!!!
