Here we go. Now Russia is going to take Americans as hostages. Why would she be in Russia right now?

One almost always pays a price for stupidity. From the OP link:

"WNBA star Brittney Griner was reportedly detained by the Russian Federal Customs Service at Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow after vape cartridges containing hashish oil were allegedly found in her luggage."

She won't get any sympathy from me.

Assuming she had that and this is not some game Russia is playing by detaining americans on fake charges.

Gee, Russia is a great place to be for an American to be right now, vape oil or not.

What an idiot, some countries have strict drug laws. Dump them before you fly, gift them to a friend. I guess she was super concerned that she'd land someplace and not have immediate access to her pot. Psychological addiction.

Great, now we get to hear about this nitwit 24/7.

She’s black, gay, who knows what else, so of course the liberal media is going to be falling all over themselves trying to condemn Russia even further.

If I was Russia, I would let her go immediately. She’s not worth the trouble. Make up some story that we tested them and there were no illicit drugs, and just be done with him/her, not sure what this nitwit’s pronoun is. Quietly ban him/her from ever setting foot in Russia ever again, and move on.

But of course, you just know the Russians won’t do that. They always make poor decisions.

I worked on a project in Russia for a while, sure glad I'm not there now. I'm sure they could find something that I allegedly did that was wrong.

Great post. all Pootin-annie would have to do to win over the Twitternazis and Google authoritarians is to say that he promoted a transexual to head up the military....they would be cheering for Russia then.

I don't blame her for being in Russia, I'm sure she had plenty of nice Russian "female friends" and was making honest money.

But you have to be as dumb as a box of rocks to commit ANY drug crimes overseas. And yes, I've seen folks do drugs overseas in tourist locations, in illegal countries, and it boggles my mind.

Anyone who believes the drug line after all the lies and criminal behavior of the Russians, they are about as dumb as it comes.
The reality Putin is taking Americans hostages. He already has done this before with at least two innocent Americans being held in forced labor camps.

This needs to be a warning to all Americans in Russia to get the hell out of there ASAP.
