Haven't been able to work up much sympathy for Brittney Griner's 9 year sentence for trying to smuggle Cannabis into Russia. Quite a number of our allies impose the death penalty for the same offense -- including Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, UAE, and elsewhere. China also has the death penalty for this.

In addition to the death penalty or life imprisonment in Singapore, you'll be subjected to a public caning. In Japan, you get 5 years for the first offense for weed possession. Even France gives you prison for weed possession. In Turkey, you'll get up to 24 years for weed possession. What did he expect might happen in Putin's Russia?

Do stupid things in a country run by a dictator who hates the United States, expect stupid things to happen to you. Then toss in the fact that he does this while Putin is invading Ukraine. Maybe he doesn't follow the news.

Kinda felt the same way about Otto Warmbier. What is an American student doing in North Korea in the first place? And if there, what did he expect might happen if he steals the dictator's propaganda poster from his hotel room and tries to smuggle it out of the country for a souvenir and as some kind of joke?

Predictably, the genocidal sociopath Communist dictator had him beaten to death. This is a country where people are shot on the spot for getting Covid. That's one way to stop the spread! In this country, the dictator had one of his generals strapped to a chair and executed him with an anti-aircraft missile for amusement.

The schools should be teaching decision-making skills instead of anti-America woke ideology. In most countries, the people have no rights.

The schools should be teaching kids to be grateful every day that they live in America. To have the great fortune to live in America is to win the lottery of life. And don't go acting up when you visit other countries, especially dictatorships and the Third World..
