He took pictures in a restricted military area. He knows he is a spy.

[SuperBoomshack]

He is not female or a minority so he is doomed

NATO has been holding a Russian journalist in Poland for over a year.

[Rickyleegauge]

No mistake he knew what he was doing and knew he shouldn't have been there.

The druggie basketball player was said to be wrongfully detained also.😂

I am so proud of so many Americans both young and old beginning to understand how we are being propagandize by the left.

[TheWorldWillNvrLearn]

What about the marine we left in Russian captivity?

[darlayjones]

CORRECTION: That guy is not a reporter. He's a goofy spy who got caught 😜🤪😝

[KinseiSensei]

Riiiight. Because military aged males that work for news companies never also work for the CIA. 😂

[vignonamoussouvi]

Wrongful detained, that is what you always say. So where you guys always find information from those a countries.

Dude in Russia, literally taking photos of Russian military installations during a war involving azz is toast.

[briankenison]

You're in Russia you get what you get

[t.c.s.]

Hahaha. This channel is a state sponsored USA shill.

[TheUndeniableTruth]

The fact that it’s only got 500 views 30mins after posting is a good sign. Main stream media is on its last leg. Just desperate at this point 😂

Well he isn’t a black lesbian celebrity pothead, so I’m afraid he is not high on the priority list. If he just put on a dress, the US would get him out tomorrow.

[TokyoTraveller]

He went to Russia, on his own, in the middle of a war, with a country KNOWN to have very little love for the USA, and more than willing to use Americans as hostages to free terrorists.
Let him rot.

I dont watch these channels much, the lady in black was hard to listen to, but the lady in pink was terrible to listen to.

Back to my boycot. I feel dumb for even trying.

[chriskibler]

He efed around and found out didn't he ???

[jordanduran]

Loving this comment section. Y'all giving me the slightest glimmer of hope.

Nice declaration, now what are you actually going to do? Nothing!!!! Oh ok!
