How do you accidentally pack ammunition? His regrets are about not being able to see his kids grow up. He doesn't verbally recognize his wrongdoing & how it threatens the safety & well-being of another country. So American & so self-centered. If we had someone from another country come for vacation with bullets, we'd be just as concerned. I have no sympathy for them. & I don't want to make this a race thing. But if minorities did something similar here in America, people would be freaking out calling it a terrorist attempt & it'd probably be exploited politically to scare U.S. citizens. These laws exist for a reason.

I mean the Brittany Griner incident is clear evidence of the duality of USA opinions compared to this incident. Both were wrong and both got caught and both have to face (or did face) the consequences of their actions by each individual country. Agree or not with their laws, they are THEIR laws. In saying that, Russia used the opportunity to politicise it, because they’re corrupt AF, by giving her a 9 year sentence for an offence that ordinarily carries 15 days.
