When Will They Learn?
Jul 28 2022 07:04PM more by bigseekersb

When will Americans learn not to go to Russia, Iran, and North Korea?

Going to a wedding, like Paul Whelan says he was doing? Fuck that! Send a nice gift and stay home.

Play sports for money, like Griner? Not enough money in the world to make it worth chancing a trip to Siberian hard labor for 10 years or more, IF you even survive the sentence in the shitty conditions there.

I am so tired of seeing these people used as leverage to get us to release dangerous criminals or pay some other kind of ransom.

Their relatives get on TV and cry and whine about how the President needs to save these idiots.

Even a President can't fix stupid.

I want to see Biden get on TV and tell all Americans "Get the fuck out, and don't ever go back. And if you go there now, the US won't do fuck-all to get you back. - Enough of this shit!"

Your frustration is not entirely hard to sympathize with, however, in the matter of Griner it is harder. The base salary of an nba player is like 5 million compared to 120,000 for a WNBA player. Griner makes more than that, like 200,000, but she can make 1 million a year by playing in Russia.

So ask yourself. If your boss told you I will give you a 400 percent pay raise to work in Russia for 3 or 4 months a year, would you not think about it? Would you not possibly say yes? A lot of people would. I would suggest most people would. I do not know what I would say because I do not work for anyone and do not need more money than I have, but I would not castigate anyone for agreeing to that admirable offer.

Maybe we should pay women better who do the same jobs as men only do it better. Look at the womens soccer team. They win. The men do not. But the men get paid more. I always thought capitalism rewards the winners. But I guess it rewards the men who are not as good as women.

I do understand that people already making a decent living will do incredibly dumb things to make more money.

But my awareness of the fact doesn't make it a better decision. It is still a stupid thing to do.

I have never made $100,000 in one year in my life, and I would still not even consider going to one of those shithole countries for any amount of money. I prioritize my health and safety too highly.

However, I would have gone for my country if ordered to do so when I was in the military.

Yawn.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Let people travel where they want - Jesus, it's not hard to contemplate.

But you cannot behave as you would here - it's their country - their rules.
If you can't abide by it, they have every right to do what they think is best.

Get busted for pot - expect to pay the price if it's illegal in that country.

Go to Singapore & steal road signs & vandalize property - expect to be whipped

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Fay

If nothing else, it's damm amusing to see snowflakes go to other countries & then are surprised that they aren't coddled as they are used to here.

Not anyone's fault but their own.

So ask yourself. If your boss told you I will give you a 400 percent pay raise to work in Russia for 3 or 4 months a year, would you not think about it?

But then you should weigh all consequences. Might get sent to Siberia. Might piss someone off and spend the rest of your life behind bars.

I bet cobra milkers make good money also.

Electric utility power linemen make good money....

HIgh rise iron workers make good money

Loggers make good money.

But those jobs fall into the highest rate of fatalities. So you probably would consider ALL consequences.

Not sure why people travel to foreign countries and NOT know what the laws are in those countries.

Not all countries grant as much freedom and liberty as we do. And maybe that is why millions of immigrants want to come here.

I understand she claimed she 'rushed' in packing.....I think i know what I have in my luggage and am not 'surprised' by something left over from a previous trip.

Its simple, dont try to sneak illegal stuff into a foreign country, then you wont have to worry about being used as a pawn.

She’s been in Russia long enough to know somebody, who knows somebody who sells it there.

Needs to make more money...

But has plenty of money to spend on weed and tattoos...

That's capitalism.

A few years working in a Siberian salt mine should help to change her rotten attitude.
