Ex Marine arrested in Russia for spying................

[ABikerSailor]

Well, now we are going to see how Trump really feels about Russia and American citizens. It seems that a former Marine was recently arrested for espionage over there.

Wonder if Trump is going to get him out, or is he gonna let Putin keep him?

Another good question would be was this former Marine arrested to be used as a bargaining chip to get back the Russian operative that was infiltrating the NRA?

Ex-U.S. marine arrested in Russia on espionage charges while attending wedding in Moscow

Paul Whelan, a former U.S. Marine arrested in Russia on espionage charges, was visiting Moscow over the holidays to attend a wedding when he suddenly disappeared, his brother said Tuesday.

Whelan, 48, who is head of global security for a Michigan-based auto parts supplier, was arrested on Friday. In announcing the arrest three days later, the Russian Federal Security Service said he was caught “during an espionage operation,” but gave no details.

That's a pretty high price to pay for attending a wedding in Moscow. Think I will mosey on over to the State Department Website for travel advisories in Russia.

Here's what popped up when I got there:

Russia Travel Advisory

Travel Advisory

December 10, 2018
Russia - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
O T
Exercise Increased Caution due to terrorism, harassment, and the arbitrary enforcement of local laws. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Do not travel to:

• The north Caucasus, including Chechnya and Mount Elbrus, due to terrorism and risk of civil unrest.
• Crimea due to Russia’s occupation of the Ukrainian territory and abuses by its occupying authorities.

Terrorist groups, transnational and local terrorist organizations, and individuals inspired by extremist ideology continue plotting possible attacks in Russia. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, local government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, educational institutions, airports, and other public areas.

U.S. citizens visiting or residing in Russia have been arbitrarily interrogated or detained by Russian officials and may become victims of harassment, mistreatment, and extortion. Russian officials may unreasonably delay U.S. consular assistance to detained U.S. citizens. Russian authorities arbitrarily enforce the law against U.S. citizen religious workers and open questionable criminal investigations against U.S. citizens engaged in religious activity.

Russia enforces special restrictions on dual U.S.-Russian nationals and may refuse to acknowledge dual U.S.-Russia nationals’ U.S. citizenship, including denying U.S. consular assistance to detained dual nationals, and preventing their departure from Russia.

Due to the Russian government-imposed reduction on U.S. diplomatic personnel in Russia, the U.S. government may have delayed ability to provide services to U.S. citizens, especially in the Saint Petersburg area.

Why should Pres. Trump get involved? ...

Who knows, the guy could be a spy and guilty as sin. ...

Working for Mueller.

Yeah but there are no secrets. The U.S. and the Russians share personnel and classified scientific information in the Space Station. What we are seeing is a little political game played between the KGB and the CIA probably without the knowledge or consent of the President.

Shouldn't have been spying.

Wow....................some of you guys are going to assume he's guilty of spying (even though he was attending a wedding), and don't care if Trump gets him back or not?

Wow..........................
