Because Turks and Caicos is just like that Arctic Circle prison camp where Navalny died while taking an ill-advised stroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they're putting prisoners in the tourist section of T&C? Where they get mai-tais and conch fritters? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's not the same as being held by Russia as a bargaining chip, which we all know was the case with Griner even though she did apparently violate Russian law. And yes, the State Department is no doubt involved, and they will advocate for the detained American. That's one of the things they do, even for the idiot Americans who get arrested engaging in some high-spirited drunken revelry in someone else's country. Turks and Caicos will want to assert its right to control what comes into their country, but ultimately they have an interest in American tourism and this will likely be resolved quickly. Without the need for a T&C spy to be exchanged for him ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what kind of sentence the average person gets for bringing drugs into Russia? It's a lot longer than what Griner served. As for T&C, I doubt this is their first rodeo with an American who unwittingly broke their law. So the tourism aspect doesn't factor into it.

That's how they used her to extract something they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get it I can explain it to you. And for the record, he shouldn't have brought ammo on a @#$%ing international flight. 12 years? No. Caning? Maybe.

The Biden Admin traded a Russian arms dealer for her because they were pressured into it. Let's see what they trade for this guy.
