I'm a little uncomfortable with allies treating an American citizen like this ..... and even more uncomfortable with the US government allowing it, even if the citizen is wholly unlikeable. There was a time not to long ago when other nations imprisoned Americans to escalate tensions --- and at their peril. Now a country so dependent on us can do it at will with impunity.
I guess another American protocol bites the dust. --- Sad, but unsurprising. 
@Right_in_Virginia You make very valid points.
I just can't tolerate a traitor who does his best to try to destroy America,and then wants to run and hide "behind her skirts" when he gets caught.
If America gets him free and he is returned to the US,he SHOULD be put on trial for treason and imprisoned if found guilty. Unfortunately,we have the DNC in charge now,and likely to remain in charge thanks to all the "Ah HATES rich,rude,orange guy!" Dims and their RINO butt-buddies,it's more likely he gets a Presidential Freedom Medal,if that is what they call it, from Slow Joe,ands end up wealthy from personal appearance tours.
