  1. Americans, don't go to Russia. Russia is a fascist state.

  2. Also, heard about the Russian pilot that defected? The Russians found him in Spain, because he was stupid, and called his girlfriend In Russia. He was shot to death with many bullets, this week.

  3. Neither her or her boyfriend, pay the slightest attention to current world events, Or the American Travel Advisory Against Going to Russia. That advisory has been in effect for sometime.

  4. America love one orthodontics

  5. These hypocrites have nothing to say about American – Gonzalo Lira or the tens of thousands who are being massacred in Palestine all at the expense of American tax payers money.

  6. Another American criminal? Geez! First Griner, now her?

  7. Правильно всё правильно.

  8. Well let's wait for the great negotiator to release an arms trader and 100 other corrupt Russians for just her. Seems she's defective at that, she's dumb enough to go. I hate Trump but never ever would he make such dumb popsided deals with Russia.

  9. She got arrested because she's pretty. Who knows what they are going to do next to her. Bring her to Putin in exchange for her freedom.

  10. Sick truth twisting western lies

  11. Something stinks here. We both have propoganda with USA vs RU. A reason maybe why Wheland is still there. Problem being, we give up a drugged basketball player for astonishly HUGE weapons deals to hurt the USA. RU has a high hand in negotiations, they don't care for their own. We do. We sometimes make wrong negotiation choices to appease the few. IMO.

  12. Well she has broken the law.
    So what is the problem here?

  13. Republicans in this country love and adore putin… So what is the problem here

  14. "American Ballerina" Dual citizenship, helping enemies of Russia is criminal offense, she new that . Someone just ratted her out , probably her own fake friends from the w$hore house she worked at. Now she will do some time, and if lucky come out alive.

  15. She shouldn't be surprised at being arrested upon returning to Russia".

  16. THEY ONLY LET YOU SAY WHAT YOU WANT IN COMMENTS HERE THEY CENSOR WHATG DOESNB'T FIT THE YOU TUBE VIEWS AS ARE ALL THE VIDEOS I'LL BE DUMPING THEM AS MY PAID NEWS PROVIDER HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THIS POST WILL SURVIVE

  17. She is a Russian citizen, born and raised in Russia, supported Ukraine. Its pretty clear…

  18. People in united state go to jail for$5 and some spend 50 years for wrongful Judiciary😂😅😂 let tucker Carlson negotiate with putin😂😂 about her

  19. Biden isn't going to do a thing about freeing her.

  20. Governments should just issue mandatory order to automatically deny all travelers going to Russia from around the world.

  21. she aint american she is a russian traitor

  22. What you think you're doing tiptoing around Russia ?

  23. She bought and supplied funds for Ukraine.

  24. Putin is no half brain – dead zombie named " Joe. " He has made it clear. No holding hands and singing ' koombaya ' with him. People are on Russia's side, or not. And if " not ", they will pay a price.

  25. Why would any sane person go to Russia

  26. A russian citizen is being detained and they can have er

  27. They really need to issue a travel alert advising that no American should travel to Russia for any reason. Business, vacation whatever as they have now started clearly kidnapping Americans for no legitimate reason other than political gain.

  28. Every administration since Truman has cowered to the military industrial profit machine. Weak. Sauce.

  29. No attention was given to Gonzalo Lira when he was detained, tortured and consequently died in an Ukranian prison. This ballerina isn't American; she was born in Ruzzia!

  30. US media has really gone fully insane

  31. Umm she’s a born Russian living in America.

  32. Many Russian US citizens are naive. They think that it's okay to just visit Russia… It was dangerous before the war, now it's absurd.. Let's hope she crawls out of there soon.

  33. Russia is a hellhole never go there

  34. How stupid should you be to go in Russia these days

  35. America should ban travels to Russia like they did before with Cuba.

  36. Excellent predicator of where this nation will be in another 10-15 years with more demonrat rule, and spineless self serving repubicans.

  37. Why even go there ??? Ppl don’t know history ??? Or are they complete morons 🤦🏻 go to North Korea instead 🤷🏻‍♂️
