HEADLINE: A US citizen has been arrested in Moscow on drug charges

QUOTE: "A U.S. citizen has been arrested on drug charges in Russia, officials said Tuesday, a move that comes amid soaring Russia-U.S. tensions over Ukraine.
The arrest of Robert Woodland Romanov was reported by the press service of the Moscow courts. It said the Ostankino District Court ruled on Saturday to keep him in custody for two months on charges of preparing to get involved in illegal drug trafficking pending an official investigation. It didn’t offer any details of the accusations."

There's a twist - the guy was born in Russia, adopted by US cits, then decided to go look for his birth mother in Russia, and liked it so much he moved there. His 'side gig' is, allegedly, dealing drugs.

I SAY WE LEAVE HIM THERE.
BETTER YET, THEY CAN SEND HIM TO THE FRONT IN DONETSK.

That would give Russia's PUTZIN one less piece of leverage to use against the US in future discussions about our aid to Ukraine.
