Perhaps the most head-shaking incident in recent memory was about 15 years ago when three dopes from Berkeley decided, of all the places in the world to go hitchhiking, the Iraq-Iran border was the place they had to be. They liked it so much they stayed and enjoyed Iranian hospitality for more than two years.

For giggles, I went to AirBnb recently and searched for properties in Kabul. Damned if you can't spend a wonderful holiday in the heart of Talibanistan. The photos were hilarious.

Part of his payback to the US government ought to be to make a Public Service Announcement in which he says,
1. Do not break the law in Russia because you do not have US due process rights there. and
2. Do not even go to Russia if you are an American because even if you are completely innocent, that does not mean you cannot be arrested, tried, and convicted. Your demonstrable innocence is completely irrelevant.

I still can't believe people travel to these countries that are openly hostile to the US. Essentially volunteering to be a pawn seems short-sighted at best.
