And Russia is well known for never coming back on their statements.

Yeah…this is what they’re saying after the fact. Don’t worry other foreign journalists!

Nothing says foreign journalists can work on our soil like arresting one of said journalists!

yep, russia has long history of outright murdering journalists that don't simply act as mouth pieces for the state.

You may want to add novichok lined underpants or polonium tea as other things to avoid. Edit: you already added tea but not underpants.

You may just want to skip the underpants and have a chilly nilly willy.

I genuinely wonder if anyone will ever take Russia seriously again. I’ve never seen a country just obliterate its reputation so completely and quickly.

It is hilarious, pathetic, and tragic (for Ukraine) all at the same time.

True. The supposed grown-ups currently in charge of ruining russia behave (far) worse than the kids in Lord of the Flies.

While we are all telling the truth here, I’ve got some SICK beachfront property in West Virginia. Any takers?

Wtf! Just in case we need something from a western country, russia will allow " foreign journalist to carry on" so we have them available for arrest and torture to get what we want.

They want to make sure they have a supply of foreign nationals from every country to arrest next time they feel the need to try and flex a muscle.

They just can't report anything negative about Russia.

All non nationals should leave Russia. It’s not a safe place to be, waken up guys

brpajense t1_jefbnu1 wrote

Of course they're going to say that--they need more hostages and trading chits, and rounding up foreign journalists is the easiest way to get them.

Gulag is in Russia, and you will definitely be working in there.

No lies here.

Any foreign journalists in Russia can't complain if they get jailed, nor expect to be traded for Russian criminals held abroad. Their stupidity is on them.
