As much as I enjoy Bald & Bankrupt's videos (especially the ones, where he teams up with Alinchik), and I consider him probably the best travel blogger out there, he's taken so many chances over the past few years, that I knew sooner or later...

That old adage of mess with the bull, and you're gonna get the horns...

[cranked]

Gulags will teach him....kekw /s

[dfwgator]

Now he’ll get to see a real working “Soviet Sink” in jail.

[Kriggerel]

Indeed... X.x

[dfwgator]

I wonder whatever became of “Fidel”, the cat they smuggled out of Cuba?

[curdogmen]

love watching this man....your right he is the best travel blogger

[Tijeras_Slim]

Bad timing on his part. I’d think someone who travels in sketchy places would have a better “spider sense”, but the lure of You Tube views makes people crazy.

[jimwatx]

I’ve watched a couple of his videos myself. I wonder if he realized that he needed permission to go there? Hopefully they let him go with an apology or something.

[dfwgator]

Probably figured he was “safe” in Kazakhstan.

[Tijeras_Slim]

To my thinking a country that ends with stan is a red flag.

[DannyTN]

I’ve never seen him.
So this is good publicity.
I hope he got the arrest on film.

[McGruff]

Could have been an Ukrainian sympathizer attempting sabotage. Shoot first and ask questions later.

[Brian Griffin]

The UK has supplied the Ukrainians with lots of weapons.

It will be a long time before he sees British soil again.

[JudgemAll]

The dude was an idealist who is going to learn the hard way that toying with “marvelous Soviet Mosaic” is like a child playing with a soulless scorpion

[MercyFlush]

Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

[mac_truck]

Alina (seen here with a Georgian babushka) is 100% not guilty!

[MalPearce]

Maybe Borat can intervene on his behalf. IZ NAAAIIISSSS!

[Alas Babylon!]

Wow!

I’ve watched him, too.

I like this guy and his girl.

[Lockbar]

Last year he smuggled his girl friend’s cat out of Cuba by hiding it in his pants. He made a big joke out it afterwards. The Cubans might want some revenge now.

[Lockbar]

The girl friends cat he smuggled out of Cuba in his pants back to her home in Czechoslovakia. They made a big joke about it later. Since he is being held against his will, maybe the Cubans will want some revenge. Make a deal with the Russians and be put on a plane to Havana.
