Another story of an idiotic man getting himself into a mess by following his 'little head' instead of the one on his shoulders.

He's a 34 year old Army Staff SGT from Texas going through a Divorce from his American wife. Apparently met a Russian woman in South Korea where he was stationed several years ago. 

She apparently ran away from him in S.Korea to her Russian home town, and he followed her without authorization/permission from the military and was then arrested by Russian authorities. He's accused of stealing from his Russian girlfriend. 

 

Radio Free Europe apparently found this Russian woman's social media accounts and tik tok where she had a lot of videos posted with the American soldier. Apparently they posted videos  making fun of America, saying Joe Biden was a bad president, saying things were better under Trump, and saying that Putin is justified in his invasion and what he does. 

Unfortunately for him, even echoing Russian propaganda wasn't able to save him from being taken prisoner.

A story as old as time itself.

You're quite generous.
