And here I was thinking only the US handed down totally unreasonable disproportionate and unjust prison sentences to minorities

It’s not disproportionate—this is a standard penalty in Russia for trafficking marijuana. She had a responsibility to know that and act accordingly.

We also punish people who break our drug laws, regardless of what’s legal in their country.

It really does suck! I wish there is something someone can do to help her. The crime does not fit the time at all.

Yes she is - but also that’s not even their max sentence for that crime. Russia sucks bro that is illegal as hell out there and since she was at an airport it made it worse for her

Exactly - Darwin Award winner. No one can tell me she was totally not aware. It's a narcotic. She rolled thie dice, and believed the 1000 narrative reasons she should get away with it... and she didn't. What I feel.sorry for is the world we live in where people have been conditioned to believe that they are special and that a different set of rules apply to them (or shouldn't apply to to them). That is patently wrong in the US, and certainly isn't going to fly elsewhere. Lastly, being American and not understand that ypu are a target in a place like Russia is in and of itself the epitome of narcissism

I agree with consultant 1 if you just change it to “she was arrested and prosecuted for a legitimate criminal offense with the motivation behind the prosecution being political”

Doesn’t matter. It’s federal time, he’d serve it regardless without political intervention. Brittney forced our hand into a compromised position because of her total lack of situational awareness. Why should we have to bail her out? She deserves to face consequences.

Her sentence sucks. I don’t understand why she would be so foolish to have that on her in a place like Russia though. I also don’t agree that we should trade mass murders for her.

Paul is a different case and (arguably) deserves political intervention more than Brittney.

Viktor Bout deserves to serve every minute of his sentence for conspiring to sell anti-aircraft weapons to terrorist groups. Calling him “just an arms dealer” is like calling a fentanyl trafficker “just a drug dealer”.

I mean … I wouldn’t even fly within the US with a weed pen because I am nervous and don’t know all the rules. Let alone another country. Let alone a country known for a lot of pretty bad stuff.

When requesting a raise, has an employer ever asked you for the cost of living? As an example- asking you to list out a future mortgage payment if you purchase a home, the cost of health insurance for your family, etc. Seems intrusive and weird. Raises should based on value, not what a mortgage costs…. but maybe it’s common.
