His mother was born in Russia...

Maximum punishment for him could only be life imprisonment...Charges against him are not serious enough for death penalty...

He gave Russians information about soldiers in his unit when it was deployed in former Soviet Republics...

There was the Walker spy ring...

John Walker sold secrets to Soviets mainly to make some extra money...

I don't think Mr. Debbins was motivated by money...

“Debbins thought that the United States was too dominant in the world and needed to be cut down to size,” prosecutors alleged.”

So they’re going to charge him with holding the EXACT same views as the Democrats and much of the Republican Party? Why? Because he’s white or something?

If the allegations are proven true, then may he rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life for betraying the US to an enemy state. To say nothing of his betrayal of his own unit. What a complete and total piece of garbage you have to be to do such a thing.

“In one meeting with Russian intelligence, he accepted a bottle of Cognac and a Russian military uniform as payment, according to the indictment.”

Numerous KGB & GRU American spies were given military ranks and awards by the Soviets to show their “gratitude” for betrayers of America’s military and government classified information, especially if the spy didn’t want to be paid.

Here is an older book about Army counter-intelligence and several of its successful cases of finding and catching US Army soldiers who sold out their country to the Soviets during the Cold War. Herrington is a good writer and was personally involved in the cases:
“Traitors Among Us: Inside the Spy Catcher’s World”
by Stuart A. Herrington.

“As director of the elite Foreign Counterintelligence Activity, author Stuart Herrington was the U.S. Army’s top counterintelligence officer. In this thrilling and informative account he details one of the most damaging and delicate cases of espionage ever committed against the United States. Between 1972 and 1988, thousands of highly classified documents were sold to the Soviet Union and her Warsaw pact surrogates. They were secrets so sensitive that had war broken out in Central Europe, our ability to defend our NATO allies would have been seriously compromised. It was up to Herrington and his team to root out the elusive spy ring responsible for this treachery. An intriguing page-turner with more twists and turns than a spy novel, Traitors Among Us guides us through the intricate spy catcher’s world of Cold War Berlin, showing us how the “game” was played when the stakes were as high as national survival.”

Why doesn’t Putin and his wife (or girlfriend) just come to the USA to have a kid. That child would have all the rights kamala harris Or Obama to run for President or Vice President on the Democrats ticket. It’s the exact same. If we throw natural born away, what’s keeping Putin or Xi from pumping out children in the USA to be future politicians.
