re: #24 Anymouse

No country “trades away spies?” What non-Cold War planet is Mr. Snowden living on? The Soviet Union and the United States traded spies all the time.

He’s an idiot. Someone on Twitter might want to inform him of that (we trade spies and he’s an idiot).

Umm… we can go more recent than that:

There’s the old Anna Chapman brouhaha, where Russian spies were caught and sent back to Russia.

Spies are sent back all the time. It’s what is gotten in return that often raises eyebrows. Russia has already tapped this nitwit for all he’s worth, so they have nothing to gain by keeping him around. They need that dacha for someone else.
