Arrest or Detention of a U.S. Citizen Abroad

One of the highest priorities of the Department of State and U.S. embassies and consulates abroad is to provide assistance to U.S. citizens incarcerated abroad.

I'm wondering what options she has to get back home

Bruh, nobody's going to risk World War 3 over someone being detained for an illegal substance.


Putin's only going to release her if he gets something in return.


If Biden doesn't give him anything..........she's not going anywhere.

Bruh. If we lock up some Russians in any city right now and they claim diplomatic immunity....shit can get very real very quick. I mean I hope this don't escalate. But if you think it's as light as

You really don't care to understand how quickly this shit can escalate

Maybe y'all would understand more if it was a blond hair blue eyed white girl ... Cuz clearly the fact that she's a lesbian is too much for y'all to understand basic diplomacy. Cuz if America claims she has diplomatic immunity.... This is an international event with a country actively against war with our allies

Can't come up with anything related to The Wire...........but I've got something from Bronx Tale that relates to how the world-at-large views Brittney Griner's situation:

Things can definitely escalate, but not because of her or anything to do with her situation.


Has it even been confirmed that she has diplomatic immunity?


She's not a U.N. Ambassador or diplomat.........or even related to one for that matter, so that probably doesn't even apply to her.

That's all well and good, but do you really think any of that's gonna fly in Russia with everything that's going on right now?

 

[DOS_patos]

Only thing the US can do is make sure she’s treated humanely and recommend counsel.
US don’t influence laws in other countries

Im surprised wnba players go to Russia tho

I thought they hated gay ppl over there

 

[Marc123]

Like it don't matter if she gay, straight, identifies as man, woman, they, them..... All that shit is irrelevant.

if America demands that the US citizen be released to American authorities and Russia says no...

We..... Will.... Go..... To.... War.

Like what the fuck!?

Uh. No. The fuck yall wont.

Ask that warmbeer white dude.

Yall asked for him back. And Kim sent him back as vegetable years later.

They do.

 

[aka_og]

wnba players make more overseas than in the states

some are usually there this time of year then comeback before the wnba season starts

thats why she was there

 

[Dwayne]

She stupid for what she did and the timing couldn’t be more worse… but she needs to get back home. No one deserves all that cuz of some weed.

You can’t tell people how to run their country. That’s some colonization shit.

 

[Mr.LV]

Hopefully she is released from jail

 

[Maywood]

 

[SeaSnake]

Why not?


Wouldn't that be consistent with gender equality in it's purest form?


They're allowed to do it in high school and college sports, so why not in prison?

girls and boys in highschool don’t shower together tho or use sane bathroom. They separate by gender. Gender equity

Carefully worded statement:





"Every Possible Assistance"


Not........."everything we can"..........but "every possible assistance."


Not the same thing.


They're basically saying that it's not possible to help her because the only thing that can possibly help her is to lift the sanctions that we imposed on Russia.


Which isn't happening any time soon.


This is why the U.S. has to be careful about trying so hard to make things difficult for Putin.


In the process, these sanctions are making it harder to negotiate the release of U.S. citizens who are currently being detained in Russia.
