Is he really a spy ? Possibly. And very very likely

His boss here in the states ought to be in prison, just for sending the poor sucker over there in the first place.

You didn't fail as a father. Your son is a grown man and made his own decisions. As an American and the war going on he probably made a bad decision to stay in Russia because Russia will use that against you unfortunately.

Commit crimes and get arrested. Isn't this how this works in the US too? Would you let a Russian sneak around US Military bases? LOL
