He stole my rubles.
Why would anybody go to Russia right now? 😖
FAFO
If the rightful person was in the White House, odds are that he would be back at his duty station. Given the state of things in the last year, what was this genius thinking?
The soldier had better be Black and gay or Biden ain’t gonna lift a finger.
I’ve been to Russia once. Sochi, when I was on a regional trip to Georgia. Lots of Indians, and in fact, that’s who “sponsored” my visa (Hoteliers can be sponsors.) Can’t say I’d want to go back. However I would like to go to Lake Baikal as my old Lake Tahoe Firehouse hosted Russian ‘scientists’ on an exchange program.
It is insanity to visit ANY country that is in an active war.
Vladivostok is crappy city to visit. If a US military representative was there, as appears to be the case, then it was ON ASSIGNMENT.
Next time perhaps our woke soldiers should, to quote Nancy Reagan, JUST SAY NO, when ordered into a hostile country.
Wrong skin color, gender, and he can’t dribble a basketball so he is of no use to the Administration.
Note to self... Never travel to a country we’re waging a war against.
If someone goes there they should avoid anything suspicious appearing and certainly should not steal.
True story:
Friend from Michigan State University’s Russian language major program was a friend of a guy who was part of the exchange program visits in the mid 1970s for Russian majors to go to the Soviet Union.
Incredibly while there he took a black felt tip marker and drew a funny moustache on a portrait of Lenin on a street in Moscow. His giggling was over when the cops grabbed him and arrested him.
The University recognized he was in serious trouble. The rest of the group was allowed to return to the US but he was held. After some high level kowtowing and apologies the guy was released to go home.
People take for granted some freedoms that are okay in Animal House movies but not in real life.
A hostage.One of ours for 125 of theirs.
Gulf of Tonkin here we come
He stole my rubles.
WTF is he doing there?!
A disagreement, perhaps, over the hourly or nightly cost of goods and services provided by a woman morphs into “U.S. soldier steals from a woman in the port city of Vladivostok”
