'Equivalent to taking a hostage': Trevor Reed on Russia detaining American journalist 

Instead of LYING, SPREADING RUMORS, CONNIVING, MANIPULATING, MISREPRESENTING, THROWING DIRT... DEFEND JULIAN ASSANGE, THE TRUE TRUTH SEEKER AND TELLER AND VICTIM OF BRUTAL PERSECUTION.

Only a fool would still be in Russia.

The American media always portraying your country as the good guys is kind of funny.

Why is he in Russia???

Reed drank so much alcohol he went crazy, and the police arrested him. He tried to grab the steering wheel of the police car causing a traffic accident. I don't see him as a good example of a person who was a political prisoner. Did he deserve 9 years for that no anyone would say that is excessive punishment. What happened to him could have happened anyone in a foreign country and it does happen to lot of Americans who the media doesn't ever talk about. Why Americans are still in Russia is shocking to me anyone who goes there at this point should just expect this to happen.

Assange has been imprisoned for 10 years, no convictions......

QUIT GOING TO RUSSIA!!

Collective west is desperate well done president Putin ♥️🇮🇷🇷🇺

Glory to Russia and Iran 🇷🇺🇮🇷 Allah bless president Putin ♥️

Russia needs to let this man go 😮

Ok so like Griner didn’t teach every American that Russia is ready to use you if you have any amount of possible political value. Don’t know if I care about this at all. Actually I don’t. His own fault for going there with credentials being naive to the very large possibility he might get used in a much larger way

Why in the world would anybody want to visit a country like Russia or North Korea after Brittney Griner and Otto Warmbier?

Again, why would anyone be in a country run by inhumane authoritarians? How many hostages does it take for people to learn this lesson? Make your decisions alone, live them alone!

He just describes what black people go through daily

And there's no need to be surprised or upset these people don't like us that you leave this country and go poke around on their country and think you're going to be okay ....come on now

Just horrible

The possibility of Donald tRUMP being detained in Rikers Island Detention Center has me excited.

This is disheartening. If you are a journalist then you would be asking questions and digging into stories. If you are in Russia, it seems like very dangerous place to do those things. It’s time for all Americans to get the hell out of there.

CNN bosses are calling for patience as views plummet 61% while CEO Chris Licht tries to rid network of its woke credentials -CNN's dip is most dramatic - 61% in prime time in March -In the key demographic for advertisers, CNN has lowest numbers in decades -Network brass admits mistakes amid rumors new CEO might be out of a job soon 😂😂😂

No amount of money or love for your job should make you remain in Russia or go there in this period or arguably, ever. why are some Americans still in Russia? Insanity!!

Don't forget how the former Soviet union was disintegrated more than 30 years ago.

Lol what human would be in Russia right now lol 😂

It worked out so well for russia last time,of course theyre going to do it again.

Public would be better served if they got someone who could comment on what an idiot someone would have to be to be in Russia at the moment.

Cost of Iraq and Afghanistan wars over 5 trillion Dollars. Millions of Americans are living Paycheck to Paycheck. tens of thousands of Americans are Homeless that includes many veterans, Debt of USA is over 30 trillion Dollars. Inflation is Fast Rising. and instead solving all these problems Establishment Politicians are promoting more foreign wars, now this is not only stupidity but its also gross shamelessness the Way American Politicians from both parties are behaving.

Instead of LYING, SPREADING RUMORS, CONNIVING, MANIPULATING, MISREPRESENTING... TALK ABOUT JULIAN ASSANGE THE TRUE TRUTH SEEKER AND TELLER AND VICTIM OF BRUTAL PERSECUTION!!!

If viktors brother wasn’t dead he’d probably be released for this guy. So most likely he’ll be released for a more alive POS

People need to wake up and realize that traveling to Russia or Iran is NOT comparable to hopping on a plane to Denmark or Uruguay! Only diplomats should feel safe traveling to hostile regimes. Numerous gullible Westerners - from Brittney Griner to Otto Warmbier - can attest to that.

I wonder how the Jan. 6th Shaman feels for being wrongfully detained

Russia does not consider itself an enemy of the West and does not isolate itself from it, it does not have hostile intentions. Russia is counting on the West's realization of the futility of confrontation and on a return to equal interaction. Moscow views the US course as the main source of risks for its security and international peace. Priority will be given to removing the vestiges of US dominance in the world. Moscow faces the security challenge equally for all countries based on indicators of mutual control. Of particular importance is the deepening of ties and cases with China and India. The main goal in the Near Abroad is to transform the zone into a world of good neighborliness and prosperity. V.V. Putin 3.31.2023.

He is looking great. He was so thin, pale, sunken eyes and even his freckles disappeared before. Huge difference.

At what point will say I have enough am leaving Russia, the authorities has call for all Americans to leave that country but they will not ….

This is the guy who told the US about President Xi's visit to Russia

APRIL FOOLS DAY, PUTIN and tRUMP!

Well we need Bill Richardson again

It's criminally negligent for the WSJ to send a reporter anywhere near Russia ! They put this man's life at stake for heavens sake for what !?

TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸❤🙏

Does he mean like the US with Assange?

Soon at ‘’prison TV’’ … TRUMP picking up the soap in the shower. 🤣

Free julian Assange

Is that the Fort Worth, TX skyline behind him? I didn't know he was a Texan.

Sounds like Democrats and the FBI in America

Good news

Ekaterinburg in the Urals? Really? ?Why? I feel for the guy and all, but what led him _there_? Object lesson for Americans- get the hell out of Russia. Now.

The spy is done

Hi everyone,respect from Lithuania,glad that he is home,but it seems he look swollen from hunger.)

Hostage swap - trump

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 TRUMP MAGA 2024 IS THE ONLY ONE CAN SAVE USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

NEVER SAY HUNTER BIDEN ON C-SPAN 😂😂😂

#FreeAssange

Well he was obviously there to report on something. If the country said he was spying it's highly likely. As a journalist there are several safer places to be a journalist.

😎😎😎 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH PIBULL SLAM....PRAGERU RU-vid 😎😎😎

It’s not the same as taking a hostage.. Wall Street journal sucks anyways.

thats my city in the background

Free Julian assange hypocrites

In india day by day fear of gujarat type communal clashes democracy in danger peoples are feared UNO intervention is necessary please protect the secularism in india and FBI observation is necessary through the UNO please protect the peoples in india

I pray for unity,the cause and foundations of the Arrest is Italy and France Paris and,America,Napolitano,Napoli Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome

Is he describing NYC courts or Russian courts ?

lol... let's exchange him with hunter biden.🤣🤣🤣

How can he know? He was rightfully detained.

0:58 Russian CO likes him ❤

USA has to show strength against Putin's regime and be as tough as him! This is the only way he understands. We Polish people and our Ukrainian Allies expect Americans to act and retaliate in a proper manner, especially now that he has directed his aggression against you. For instance, start expelling and arresting Russian journalists and diplomats in USA. Or completely ban them from entering the United States. Treat them the way they treat you. No compromise with the enemy.

So did u steal information?

President Joe Biden do not travel to dangerous countries

as a Canadian i am embarrassed by my governments attempts,or I should say the lack of to free Canadians being held. I expected the American reaction to be harsher. we ( free countries)are at a point now with the Chinese and Russians were being civil isnt gojng to work. I hope Biden at least insults Putin a bit over this. ....then maybe expelling their ambassadors in a coordinated, international sweep is a great idea?!

😁

C-SPAN WASHINGTON JOURNAL PROTECTING CHINA 🇨🇳 JOE AND HUNTER 😉

As an Indian citizen, I am deeply concerned about the fall of democracy in the USA. We indians are in support of Americans against this autocratic government of Joe Biden.
