He went there voluntarily. He wasn't kidnapped. He wasn't supposed to be there.
So did Brittney Griner, and yet everyone made a big deal, turned her into a cultural phenomenon, and Joe Biden traded a deadly arms dealer to Russia to get her back. Hopefully everyone keeps that same energy here too!
exactly
Makes you think, like what the heck.
Ok, why did he go there? Was he trying to be the next Otto Warmbier?
Russia and yes even China gets a lot of foreign visitors even from the USA. Don't break their laws. Don't break any other country's laws, The guy who was found with ammo in his carryon is still being held in the Caribbean.
If stupid was a person
Yea, sorry but he deserves to stay there.
@@Jman-uz6gp agree
FOREST GUMP, run forest run
He’s an American spy
Once I visited Vladivostok long time ago when I was young. There is a Yul Brynner monument, he was a famous Hollywood star. (The Magnificent Seven movie ) Vladivostok is his birth place.
Stepping foot in Russia as a random American really isn't the smartest thing to do right now.
Especially for a serving member of the US Armed Forces.
Fact!
I'm black and have a 13 year old son born and raised in Russia.. I'm there pretty often....never have any issues, and I spent 15 years in the Marines💯
@@brooklyngemini3410 That's weird.
@@brooklyngemini3410 Reverse discrimination !
He beat up his longtime girlfriend there ( and stealing) although he has a wife and child in US. Why don't you say everything?
WTH? He can't be all that bright.
Go Army!
@@04m11, hahahaha!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Military - not a big surprise
Darwinism
It's more than merely $100. It's so ridiculous.
Leave him there.
What a fool ...
A soldier should know better
This guy makes Griner looks like a genius.
C'mon man 😂
If you're going to attack someone's intelligence at least post a proper sentence lol.
He does seriously all she got caught with was joint if that this guy’s charges are 10 times worst
@@Hugo-ee3wo Bye Gordon. See you in 20 years. 🤣
@@Commonsenseiscommonsense yea he’s done for sure solider who jumps on a Russian women and steals from her how that dude gets from underneath that is beyond me.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
As much as I back our military, this is sheer stupidity. He knew it was prohibited, did it anyways. Whether he stole or not is a different story but given what other countries love to do to our citizens, he should have banked on it possibly happening to him.
I back our military too...believe me. But I don't ride with stupid
How stupid do you have to be? Let him deal with the consequences of his actions. There is no excuse for his actions.
Black man... Go do some homework.... Russia may be the only true friend the black American has💯 which is why the West wants to go to war.... It's all because Putin opened the vaults 💯
Yeah keep him. If you are openly in the US military, stay the F out of Russia! Plain and simple. I mean I would love to go to Vladivostok too but I have braincells to know better..
I heard that. I'll settle for the documentary, good grief
You can safely travel to Vladivostok, just don’t break the laws, just like in any other country.
No problem.
That back story for why he was in Vladivostok made no sense.
Hes a spy who is getting "interrogated" as I type this😂😂😂
He met a Russian girl in S. Korea, then decided to go to a country that's off limits to American military personnel to steal some worthless rubles from her. No, none of this makes sense.
@@Sonofspam64 Probably some crazy dude like that North Korea guy
He’s a spy
The "girlfriend" was an agent fishing for saps to use as bargaining chips... she got one! 😁
Oh...man. Just leave him there...for being stupid!!! This was probably an FSB "honey trap" to lure some idiot soldier there and detain him on trumped up charges. He should have seen this from a mile away!!!
He's not stupid he works for the CIA.
Yep. Someone should pin your comment the top.
He was thinking with the wrong head.
@@maxwellcrazycat9204 mens weakness
This comment should be pinned!!! Totally a trap and they probably have evidence thats fake! lol
A woman got him in trouble ?
SHOCKING
that never happens
Lol he underestimated the old folk wisdom & countless sayings which exist to warn dudes 😅
OMG, another incel.
You make it sound like he shouldn't be accountable for his decisions.
Crazy that any American would step foot in Russia, especially an active serviceman.
Exactly, something is not adding up right!
As a civilian you'll be treated with respect in Russia. I've seen TH-cam channels of Americans welcomed with open arms like they would anywhere else.
Don't be a media sheep
Probably a spy
Why wouldn't American step foot in Russia?
People not from US military can visit Russia freely, borders are open from both sides
Why are you in Russia? Sucks to be you. You're on your own.
He's obviously a spy
@@Sirius39170he was looking for his girlfriend in some ladies purse?
Yes we are aware that the US no longer protects its citizens overseas.
Not how our intelligent agencies operate...@@Sirius39170
Like Jamie King 😂
Sounds like he got caught in a honey pot scam....
Well, he shouldn't have been in Russia in the first place.
After the Brittany Grimes thing, this guy thinks going into Russia and stealing was a swell idea. He'll be locked up a long time because he isn't a gay Black basketball heroine.
That's common Closet Case talk. And very unoriginal.
He looks exactly how I thought he'd look
😁
Like some very average guy who thinks he's Mel Gibson?
what on earth was he doing there?
He a lame duck.cant even pull off the job i wonder who give him that assignment he a full failure .
Visiting a woman.
@@marvinpercival47171:26
Spy
according to them, he went out there to fish around their women purse and they don't seem to like it. he should have just came home. its obvious that they set him up. when you think with the wrong head, things like this happen.
His own fault if he dies.
I can't believe how many Americans are so aggressively ignorant about Russia.
a very stupid act that delivered a very stupid reward
Well, that's one way to weed out the incompetents from the Army.
The whole USA army is incompetents
The second Cold War started and you go to Russia?!
The cold war is a myth.
You can't fix stupid.
Now he knows - believe them when they say don't go to Russia.
Americans going to or moving to Russia is very common, thousands move every year and none have a problem. He was not supposed to to as active duty so how was she a girlfriend? Had he secretly gone before and met her or just email friends but in any case he does not seem to think rules apply to him so the US military will likely want him in custody more than Russia. Getting a visa is not a problem, even if in the enemy's military but stealing from a Russian citizen will likely require restitution and short jail time.
Maybe he was on assignment from his unit so get information about Russia's defenses in the far east of Russia. If on a spying mission a conviction could result in long prison time. Generally Russian convictions result in a lot less prison time than in the US that has the largest prison population in the world, 26% of the world total prisoners are in US prisons. Russia has has much less crime than the US or Europe. In fact in 2017 Russia closed 73 prisons due to lack of prisoners,
Whatever his excuse it is likely he is not too bright and did not think rules in the military applied to him
@@stanspb763But a much higher percentage of russian prisoners are political. Only jailed for going against the dictator
@@stanspb763agree
@@stanspb763Much greater chance that he was only arrested for being an American servicemen than being a spy. That's not how the US deploys its spies
@@stanspb763@stanspb763 Much greater chance that he was only arrested for being an American servicemen than being a spy. That's not how the US deploys its spies
He fell into a trap
A trap that all military was warned about years ago, and I am sure they still are.
a woman
Why the hell is he there at a time like this
His fault
I bet it was a “I’m home alone” message
this smells like a bad fish...........I don't believe the theft story, I believe the girlfriend story, love is stupid sometimes
Yeah, that theft story is nothing but pretense to detain him. But why was he anywhere near Russia right now considering the geopolitical tensions. The stuff we make is literally killing Russians.
Sounds like he was entrapped by a Russian agent.
He got caught thinking with the wrong head 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was going to be my line😀
That was my first thought also.
Sounds like she tried to blackmail him. It’s not uncommon.
An American soldier? Ending up in that situation?? Something is not computing? Something doesn't sound right!🤔🤨
Why would you go find a girlfriend in enemy territory? There are lots of Russian girls in the USA already.
Exactly
that's where some of the "juice girls" are from. they go to south korea with contracts to hang around the bars to lure service men around camp Humphries and camp casey.
westernized so no good anymore
@@WhatIdid0628 Where? You realize how hard it is to get a Russia gf in the USA?
Do those Russian girls in America support putin and his war???? Ask them next time you meet them....
Steven Segal should call Putin right away! 🤣
😂
Probably went to go meet his Russian catalog bride. The reporter at the end did say his girlfriend accused him of stealing money from her. Army, be all you can be. 😣
Don’t they teach any wisdom to kids anymore
His father tried but his mother was a very bad influence. She led him down the wrong path. He almost couldn’t get into the Army because of a drug charge he took to protect her. His 3rd wife tried to wise him up as well. He is still misguided by his mother. That is how he ended up in this mess. Don’t ask how I know all of this.
I did not know that wisdom was taught. I thought it was a result of experiential learning. Silly me.
I’m not even in the military & I’m scared to go to Russia will never go over there
Along with going to parties near Gaza a year ago. Safari in Africa. Visits to NK etc
I’m not in the military and American. And not scared to go to Russia
@@TheGovernor-vw9cf Have you seen what's been going on under an autocratic rule? You'll get jailed for anything.
I'd rather go to Russia than walk in an major US city after midnight
@@michaeljmobley Russia ain’t autocratic. North Korea is
Well, I can’t say I blame Russia for that
me neither. most Russians won't go back once they get out
An Agent who got caught up on Foreign terroritory.......
The "girlfriend" was an agent fishing for saps to use as bargaining chips... she got one! 😁
He just want to get the 100k he spent on russian "dating" site back that's all. lol
😌why the hell he goes there
Russian woman 👧
What a trade, a he/she for an arms dealer. We get dumber and dumber
Unbelievable...." them" with a Marijuana for an arms dealer....
The arms dealer was busted in the US, helping "Amurrikkkan" gun dealers make some bank. What's not to like?
Also, What's "he/she" got to do with anything, are you jealous that Griner can get girls you can't?
America doesn't send it best to other countries. Hahaha
Other countries are emptying their prisons and sending them here. Crime in Venezuelan is 80% down. Know why? Because they are HERE NOW!!
WHY DID HE GO THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE???
why would someone go to russia anyway? you're kinda asking for it
Many Americans vacation in Russia or move to Russia every year and they love it since is not at all as claimed in US corporate media. Hundreds of Americans have created TH-cam channels show how great it is and opposite what Americans are told by their media. Many move to Russia because it is a better place to raise a family or because how great the cultural access is, low cost of living, safe, friendly, some go just for the medical care or because they fall in love with the people,...American men are very interested in beauty feminine, intelligence, and personalities of Russian women who are fit, nice friendly, very well educated and stylish. An American is much safer in Russia than in the US and can live debt free on very little money
Wtf was he thinking
Why are there even flights from any NATO partner to Russia??
What you people are not asking is how he went through North Korea
The media love people like you
He bought a flight to Vladivostok via Beijing you don't have to be einstein to figure this out
Don't you need a Visa anymore?
They presented an arrow over N Korea, I too would assume he crossed N Korea to reach Russia.
@@icu17siberia He could have easily gotten a visa to Russia, any consulate, fill out form, an invitation from a citizen, tour operator or hotel, a passport photos and he could get a 3 year multiple re-entry visa. He can only stay in Russia for 180 days but could leave and re-enter the next day and start another 180 days
He wasn't arrested. It was a "special military detention."
I don't understand the commentators a bit, it is clearly stated that he was arrested for theft, he is now in prison not because he is an American soldier but because he committed a crime, what is the problem?
Sounds like a setup; not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Bro i am from tunisia i will not go to Russia at this moment imagine if you are american ...
Tell em we'll give em Brittany Griner for him.
Thank you for your service .....but what in the world were you thinking dude?
Stealing her heart maybe 😅
Lol
Leave him! If he went there on unauthorized travel, and got caught stealing, LEAVE HIM THERE!
Russian girlfriend? His career is over even if gets out.
They are just foolish people no need to report this things
"In Soviet Russia, you imprison you!!!"
He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed you would think he was a marine
Stop! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (I was once married to Marine Corps Officer….but I got smart, and got away…..)
W T F
WAS HE DOING IN USSR?
NO SPY TRADES THIS TIME
So, in summary:
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
What the f×××× was doing there?
Guess he watched to many TH-cam videos and thought it's a friendly country.
Who goes to an enemy state in the middle of a war?
Jesus christ what kind of soldiers you have?
Soldiers, say it with me: "HONEYPOT"
Brittany Griner trade was such B.S.
Except that she didn't really do anything, like her or not.
They could keep her. Biden should have insisted on trading for the Marine who has been locked up for many years.
@@axgoat drugs that are illegal are illegal, how do you not know this???????????
@@axgoat We are fortunate to live in a free country, Russia has their own laws. If you break their laws you deserve to face the consequences. Like the laws or not, hope that helps.
In the USA you are not arrested for stealing money and is it considered normal to steal money from you?
He did it. 25 years!
Leave him over there, no trades. He knew better than to go over there.
He should stay in Russia in jail for simply traveling to Russia.
************************************************************
Doesn’t he have a wife and 2 kids?
We don't want him back here
Одна наркотики возит, другой шпионажем занимается, третий приехал как турист стал воровать- вы точно нормальные?
I remember when I stop in Russia about 10 years ago going to Belgrade, Serbia to visit a friend. Man the people weren't friendly at all and when the border lady saw I was American and black they had this serious look on their face and started looking me up and down. I definitely didn't feel welcome just stopping there waiting for my next flight to Serbia. The people where very cold and almost robotic like people with no personality it seemed.
'cause they're wondering, why the hell would you come here? And no, you aren't welcome
He's a fool for going to Russia in the first place. And the NBA player arrested for drug in Russia, she deserves to stay in prison.
I bet his chain of command is living through a paperwork nightmare.
What in the HELL is an American soldier doing in Russia??
And to the front lines in the EUkraine he will go.
wisdom was chasing him but he was always faster.
I don’t know how he made the rank of Staff Sgt with such a brain. Talk about a poor judgment.
Is it just me or does it sound like he got caught up in a FSB honey trap? Did they arrest him immediately after he stepped off the plane or did they actually allow him to see the FSB agent err "girlfriend" before they arrested him? With all the sanctions against Russia going on why are there even flights between Russia and South Korea?
As Forrest Gump said "stupid is as stupid does"
Leave him there
Clearly a spy. What was he doing there ?
So now we are gonna trade another tyrant, for him?
Nah he’s not part of the alphabet soul, well……. So far…. Lol
what does he want there? he must be charged for espionage, this is what US would do. The factor is that he is a soldier, I personally do not trust those people
We better not trade anything for him .
dude about to snitch, he found a way to get up there
Sounds like a black ops mission gone wrong because none of this makes sense. None of your superiors stopped him. So he’s American in South Korea with a Russian girlfriend
You are one of the few ones with a functional brain in this comments section🎉🎉
I don’t understand why people keep traveling to that country.
The media love people like you
Even the Russians will ask him that...100's of times
Black American here.... I got a son born and raised in Russia... He's 13 and I've never had any issues there at all.... And the Russians love black Americans.... 😁 He must have been a spy for c.i.a.
Low crime, no race riots, no trans, gay or bi activists, no abortions, law and order, low unemployment, a strong ruble, low to no drug problem, no illegal migrants, growing Christianity..... there are plenty of reasons why people move.
Perhaps you should do a Google/TH-cam video search on Americans moving to Russia. There are a number of videos.
@@neilmanhard1341agree bro everything you listed is why Russia is awesome and I wanna visit there. And I’m American.
Who cares? He went there voluntarily he can stay there ;)
💯 % much more to this story clearly !!!
Assange has been detained without trial for 18 years. gimme a break
Death penalty or life sentence… he’s an obvious spy…
