    I don’t know what this guy was expecting to happen after openly criticizing the russian state and then remaining in country during the war.

    Is he guilty? Probably not.

    Is he a fool? Absolutely.

    Not smart. I wouldn’t be surprised if they planted the drugs on him.

    Regardless of any geopolitical circumstances it’s important to always celebrate the arrest of drug addicts, be they Americans, Russians, Ukrainians or Chinese.
