I’m not psychic, but I said on Thursday that I thought it very odd that ten alleged Russian spies were arrested at the same time that Russia wanted to exchange them with some alleged American spies.
Now it emerges that the US considered the possibility of a spy swap more than two weeks before it arrested the ten Russian agents.
It seems that the Russian agents were arrested three days after Russian President Medvedev left the US after being entertained by American President Obama. Though it is being denied that the two presidents discussed possible deportations, one can imagine what conversation might have taken place over dinner.
Obama: ‘You’ve got a couple of our chaps we’d like to have back. Could we do a swap?’
Medvedev: ‘Of course - anything in the interests of international harmony. Could we have a few of our back in return?
Well, it’s possible!
