He got arrested immediately upon arrival, which is what Russia said it will do if he shows up there. How is he going to get the change going from prison?

Also true: Love can get you killed. In this case, it’s a virtual certainty.

I read in the piece that his brother is already in jail for "fraud". The plane was diverted to another airport and his supporters were arrested at the major airport he was supposed to arrive at. I hope outside influences can save him.

One statement is fine, but I don’t want a potential war over something that’s not in US interests.

We need to leave this mess to russia. We have enough problems right here at home. And once we start imposing sanctions, putin's going to be doubling down on his propaganda.

Why in the hell he went back to russia is beyond me.

Someone actually standing up to Russia. Hey Republicans, this is what courage and integrity looks like.
