Much more deserving of intervention than the America-hating lesbian.

Did that add an additional 5 years to her sentence.

BTW does she have children that need her at home?

Teaching in Moscow for 10+ years he knows the consequences of drug possession in Russia. I am surprised he is able to obtain the stuff living there.

In the USA we are having an epidemic of drug deaths. I wonder if Russia is experiencing the same.

Like the saying goes, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Mr. Fogel is lucky. Some countries have the death penalty for drug smuggling. On an even brighter side, this punishment will give him a wealth of material for a book when he gets out. No writer's cramp for this one!

Considering the way Russia is viewed by those running our government, it’s hard to see why any Russian would even bother to answer the phone, much less lift a finger for this druggie.

I can't get him/her out. I didn't put him/her in there. Whoever it is, they got in there on their own. They can get out on their own.

Now the ones I would be interested in helping are the Jan 6ers in the Washington,D.C. jail. But Casey, Toomey and other Senators don't give a dam about helping them. So Casey, Toomey, and other Senators can eff themselves.

Tough schiff. So called educated teachers should know better. Maybe an investigation into broader Russian collusion between unionized teachers and America is needed.

The pertinent question is, can he play basketball?

Isn’t “medical marijuana” not recognized by Russia?

Fogel did the crime and needs to serve the time. Just like Griner. We should not be spending time and resources trying to get guilty drug users out of foreign prisons.

Nope. Straight white male. Biden has done nothing to get him out but may be forced to at least try if there is a Griner exchange.

Our current regime does not have any moral high ground on holding political prisoners.

Yo Vlad!

Come on man.

If you’re not going to trade Griner for your arms dealer and spy, at least commute the sentence to a year.

In Siberia.

This so-called “American citizen” was living and teaching in Russia for 10 years. What the hell was he thinking taking contraband into the country? But still 14 years prison sentence is way over the top. Who would want to ever live in Russia?

“...arrested at the Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow in August for possession of about 20 grams of medical marijuana...”

So, rightfully detained then. Screw ‘em.

In Russia they just drink themselves to death in mass.
