Reply to Russian secret service seizes Wall Street Journal journalist who wrote about Wagner Group by 9lobaldude
Whilst the work of these journalists is much appreciated, what were they thinking sending this dude to the middle of Russia to write about Russian recruitment for its illegal war? WSJ gambled their employee's life away

I don't understand why they are called police stations. It's not like the Chinese agents operating in them have any authority in the country they're stationed in. They are spies plain and simple.

So the WSJ sends their employee into the middle of a country that's a year into their illegal war, that is known for torture and authoritarianism, to write a piece critiquing its regime? Did they seriously not expect he would get seized?
Kudos to his bravery but his employer is a straight up asshole that gambled his life away for an article that likely wouldn't tell us anything we didn't already know from Ukrainian sources.
