Arrr, matey! The good ol' U.S. be settin' free the Russian scallywag Alexander Vinnik to barter fer that landlubber Marc Fogel! Aye, ‘tis a fine trade, says a Trumpy matey. Let’s toast to swappin’ prisoners like treasure, savvy?

Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round and lend an ear to a yarn of high seas diplomacy! The United States be lettin' loose the scallywag Alexander Vinnik, a Russian prisoner, in a grand swap to free the goodly Marc Fogel, a teacher who found himself in the clutches of Mother Russia since the year of our Lord 2021!

Fogel, who was nabbed at a Russian airstrip for carryin' a cargo o' medicinal herbs, sailed back to the U.S. on a fine vessel last night, much to the joy of his kinfolk. Meanwhile, Vinnik, a notorious pirate of the crypto seas, was caught in Greece and later brought to the U.S. fer his dastardly deeds, plead guilty to money launderin’, arrr!

The Kremlin’s spokesman, Peskov, spun a tale of secretive talks that led to the release of both Fogel and a yet-to-be-named Russian prisoner from the American hold. Fogel’s sister, with a heart full of gratitude, thanked the cap’n of the ship, President Trump, for bringin' her brother back to the shores of the free world.

Upon his return, Fogel declared that Trump be the true hero of the day, makin’ it clear that he, a humble teacher, be just a lucky sailor in this grand exchange of prisoners. Aye, what a tale! A fine day for freedom on the high seas of diplomacy, eh?
