Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian border crisis, the relations between Russia and the United States have always been very tense, although it is Ukraine that argues with Russia on the surface, but the clear-eyed people know that without the United States fanning the flames behind Ukraine, Russia and Ukraine would not have come to this situation at all. However, in addition to the United States doing things everywhere on the border, its own diplomats are not honest.

Russia attacked overnight, and former U.S. diplomats were arrested for drug smuggling, and they did not have time to escape into the embassy

According to the latest report of the Russian Satellite News Agency recently, just a few days ago, the Russian police arrested a former diplomat from the United States, the diplomat's name is Fogel, who has been living in Russia since leaving office, and is now working as an English teacher at a school in Moscow, and the reason why he was arrested was because the police found that he was using his identity as a teacher to sell drugs to the students of the school, thus illegally profiting, and after further investigation, the Russian police also found that the former diplomat before leaving office, It has also been using the immunity of its own diplomats for drug smuggling.

As former members of the U.S. Embassy in Russia, Fogel and his wife have diplomatic immunity, which has led them to ship drugs from the United States to Russia, where drugs like marijuana are legal.

Russian police, after taking surveillance, found that in August last year, Fogel and his wife had been stopped by customs officers when they entered Moscow, and customs officers found that the two men had a large amount of marijuana in their suitcases, which is a prohibited drug under Russian law.

However, it is worth noting that even if he was arrested for suspected drug trafficking, Fogel is still reluctant to admit his mistake, his lawyer has previously publicly stated that the marijuana carried by Fogel and his wife is not used for trafficking, but for their own use, the evidence given is that Fogel has previously had spinal surgery, and now there are many sequelae, and need to use marijuana to curb pain, and the lawyer also claims that Fogel has previously obtained a marijuana use license from a U.S. hospital, but in the eyes of the discerning person, Fogel's explanation is undoubtedly an excuse to exonerate himself, malicious drug smuggling is already a crime, not to mention suspected of selling drugs to students, it is even more guilty, in addition, Fogel, as a former diplomat, such an important identity, was actually used by him to help him smuggle drugs, which is really unheard of.

Fogel's arrest on suspicion of drug trafficking has undoubtedly made the relationship between the United States and Russia more tense, and the two countries have already been very deadlocked on the Russian-Ukrainian border, and any matter involving the two countries at the same time will be rapidly amplified by the outside world, not to mention the vicious incident of former diplomats selling drugs in another country, presumably the Biden administration is also very embarrassed.
