    Brits always get off easy...
    ______

    McCartney was found to be carrying nearly half a pound of mar1juana in his baggage upon arrival at Narita—an amount that Paul would later assure Japanese authorities was intended solely for his personal use. The amount was large enough, however, to warrant a smuggling charge and a potential seven-year prison sentence.

    That's a weird take. On one hand, we're dealing with state and/or federal laws and on the other hand, we're dealing with dipomatic matters with a working theory that an american citizen abroad is being held for political leverage. Is nuance too difficult for the people to understand? Are we not allowed to have nuanced actions? Are we just supposed to be idiots?

    9 years for some cannabis oil and a vape pen is wild

    reason #5000 why my ass will never hop on a flight to somewhere like Russia

    1 wrong move in some of these places, and it’s a wrap for u. Just ask the guy who got detained in N Korea. Why he wanted to go there? Idk

    I strongly suggest she does not protest the Russian leadership or laws
    It’s not like in America

    Not sure if your being sarcastic or not, but Trump is defending his BFF.........I love the "loaded up with drugs"

    Former President Donald Trump on Friday called WNBA star Brittney Griner "spoiled," and said he did not approve of the Biden administration's proposed plan to exchange Viktor Bout, a Russian weapons trafficker jailed in the United States, for the athlete and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan.
    The ex-president added: "He's absolutely one of the worst in the world, and he's going to be given his freedom because a potentially spoiled person goes into Russia loaded up with drugs. She knew you don't go in there loaded up with drugs, and she admitted it. I assume she admitted it without too much force because it is what it is, and it certainly doesn't seem like a very good trade, does it?"

    what are the odds that Russia decides to torture her by playing the Star Spangled Banner?

    Don't go to other places with drugs.

    Don't give up killers for dumb American entitled athletes.

    Bama told Otto Warmbiers parents to "keep a low profile" about the koreans torturing their son.
