Putin's welcoming of murderers, spies, hackers and other criminals at Moscow airport shows his complete disregard for our laws and international law.
This is what we want.

At least three conclusions can be drawn from the prisoner exchange between the United States and the fascist dictatorship of russia. First, those who go to russia risk being imprisoned and used to be exchanged for murderers, spies and other criminals that the internationally wanted war criminal and illegitimate president putin wants back.
Second, the war criminal's welcoming of murderers, spies, hackers and other criminals at moscow airport shows his complete disregard for our laws and international law. This is how a leader who is at war behaves. The kremlin does not consider itself at war only with Ukraine. All countries that oppose the fascist dictatorship's imperialist dreams of a Greater russia are considered its enemies.
The third conclusion is that we must strongly build up both our defense and our offensive capabilities. In order to prevent russia from bombing Astrid Lindgren's children's hospital, schools, retirement homes and energy plants, we must buy anti-aircraft from the USA and other countries. The experience from Ukraine shows that the Russian air defense is substandard. Therefore, we should invest in long-range missiles that reach and knock out russian offensive weapons. The russian capabilities in Kaliningrad should be destroyed.
The bestial war crimes committed by russian troops in Butja, Borodianka and Irpin show that we can never, ever allow russian soldiers to gain a foothold in our country.
