"Alsu is a highly respected colleague, devoted wife, and dedicated mother to two children," said Jeffrey Gedmin, Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty acting president.

Depends on if they are paying the Biden's off. GOP unregistered foreign agents (espeically those with any connection to Trump or the GOP) are charged with crimes. They may even go to jail. (Paul Manafort did.)

On the other hand people named "Biden" or aligned with the Biden family can get away with almost anything.

Kinda weird to see people on an American website cheerleading for a foreign gov’t when it kidnaps Americans.

I mean, if you are working for Radio Free Europe in Russia you probably should expect them to assume you are CIA.

An arrest is not kidnapping, if it is lawful. RFE is a part of the American foreign policy/propaganda apparatus, and also is commonly used as cover for the CIA.

So what is unlawful about the arrest?

That’s not how the Russian legal system works. She was kidnapped while in Russia for a family emergency not reporting on anything.

So point out who is cheering for a foreign government? or did you just make that up?

Biden has a bunch of Iranians in our government right now.

Would you like to see them detained and checked out for where their sympathies lie?
