    Things are a little more sensitive right now. What pressure will we wput on? Economic? We are in the middle of that. There's a war where we are arguably engaged as a proxy by giving Ukraine arms. There's not really a feasible way to pressure Russia over one us citizen without starting another WW

    Also the state department already tells people not to go to Russia. Basically they say the situation is dire, travel at your risk.

    I just did some international travel to a relatively safe tourist country and heeded all DOS advisories. People who go to these places like Iran l, north Korea, China I think do so at great risk.

    Anyone crossing international borders with drugs is a fucking idiot and deserve the idiot award if they get caught.

    You think we have maxed out every sort of thing we can do to Russia?

    Sure, but a US citizen doesn't deserve 10 years for two vape cartridges.

    My favorite part about all this is how people are screaming shit like "If the WNBA paid better she wouldn't have been 'forced' to go play in Russia during the offseason!"

    Meanwhile, 100% of the people screaming that shit have never purchased a WNBA ticket or any sort of WNBA merchandise or supported the league in any sort of financial way.

    Nah, they are a failing business that only exists because the NBA supports it. When you're in a failing business you don't get paid the same as someone doing your job in a successful business, regardless of your gender or whatever.

    Yes, but they're far too stupid to understand any of that.

    I don't think anyone deserves time in prison for any drugs, but, it's their legal system. That's why you don't cross international borders with drugs.

    I know I'm unwilling to pay further financial sacrifices through more sanctions because an individual is unable to use common sense.

    If I wanted to watch slow motion athletics, I can go watch the high school teams.

    Though, this womens arena football league deserves more limelight:



    I could watch that shit all day.

    Gas prices, food prices, 60 billion dollar handouts of tax payer money.
