The calculus comes down to much more than the number of spies being exchanged by each side, analysts said Friday. The key variable is how much valuable information each was able to draw out of the spies in their custody and how much they’ll be able to be get from the returned spies.

I remember my bro and I sitting on his bedroom floor looking for all the spy vs spy cartoons we could find in a stack of MAD mags.

Good times
