The russkies will do the same since our own mercs do the same, but with little effect since its doubtful any russkie mercs will be spending their days in Miami or our’s in Sochi.
But what it will do is further widen the gulf between east and west and make any resolution that more difficult.
Bleating and chest thumping. That’s about it.

I think what happens is not just the US - so if this forehead dude goes to France, he may get grabbed, same with Thailand. Just depends on how far we take it.
Obviously, the Russians can do the same with their allies...and so it’s quite possible that thousands of Americans may never be able to leave the country without fear of being snatched up and sent to Moscow...and getting the Britney Riner treatment.

This is very true, there will be HUGE DAMAGE in relations, far worse than even the Cold War. But the people running this project are on pure emotion, pure hatred (which they had long before Russia attacked last year)...so they simply don’t care.
Exactly.... And in Russia guilty until proven innocent... Maybe the Moscow police will indict someone with the initials HB for engaging in corruption. That used to have some really harsh penalties in Soviet days when they needed to have a show trial to reinforce that the state was looking out for the worker.
