Her arrogance allowed her to bring her US legal drug to Russia ( actually only legal in the state she received it). And she deserves her sentence. But this situation is a double edge sword. She, and her teammates, should have never been allowed to go to Russia to play basketball, with the conflicts we are having with them. The statements made by this president to Putin seals the control Putin has over the Americans over there.
