Russia like Iran and the Arab states like to single out foreigners from the west just to swing clout, even though drugs are a huge problem in their nations.Lindsay's Liver wrote: ↑Sat Aug 06, 2022 2:48 amI think I know the answer to this already, but anyone here shed any tears for Brittney Griner, the US women's basketball player who got sentenced to nine years in Russian prison for getting caught entering the country with a little hash oil?
I've seen some speculation that the Russians are using her as a bargaining chip, but I don't know. It seems like every now and then Americans get a high profile lesson in what can happen when you fuck with another country's laws, particularly Eastern countries.
In the 90s, I remember the American kid who got arrested for vandalism in Singapore and it was a huge story here and everyone in the US learned about "caning".

Nah, Duterte will talk though and rough and even execute your average international drug dealer, but if the U.S. Department of State pressures him to deport an American citizen, he will cave in, discretely.
