Russian earlier this year in March has arrested and
detained an American Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich on the charges of Spying (espionage), And talks between both countries indicates a possible swap of prisoners after trials.
The American government has condemned the detention and tagged it illegal.lemme give us a quick reminder about the incident which occurred last year (2022) when the American government expelled 12 Russian diplomats on the same chargers of "espionage" and now they stand to condemn the actions of Russia.
America should stop playing saint and lord with other countries when it comes to certain sensitive cases because they are always firstly involved in cases of national security and after which turning to point fingers at another that gets involved in the same act.
America should stop acting like they can have whatever they want from any nations.
Russia detained and arrested the journalist, while the US expelled diplomats. Both countries didn't respond to this crime of spying similarly. In this case, the US acted far better than Russia. But I cannot side with or exonerate any party because they are bullies. Both nations have been rivals which entails that there will always be suspicion and accusations. America will always claim that Russia is behind its travails and Russia will also do the same. Both Russia and the US are guilty of interference in the internal affairs of both nations. Also, America and Russia are influencing the government of many nations and an example is Africa. Both nations should respect the territorial integrity of nations because both of them are not saints. The US can claim that Russia is an aggressor but the US is not clean.
