Why are Americans still in Russia at this point?

Makes no sense at all. Starting to look like things might get ramped up.

I heard it's hard to get out right now. Aren't other countries banning Russian airlines from landing there?

I was there 2 1/2 years ago. Went to Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Helsinki and then St Petersburg and Moscow.

Beautiful places with some very nice (if a bit joyless) people. Too bad Russia is run by a madman.

But then look at jerk we had squatting in the White House for four years.

Americans still in Russia are offering themselves as bargaining chips for President Vladimir Putin to use. All that's required is some infraction. That can be used to arrest and imprison the American.

Note the basketball player who was, it appears, carrying drug paraphernalia in luggage while trying to fly out of the country. That person, if the story be true, was not thinking of personal responsibility to one's country.

Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n remember the Big 5.
