American Soldier arrested in Russia
Staff Sergeant Gordon Black was stationed in South Korea. During his transit from South Korea to Fort Cavazos, Texas, he made a stop in Vladivostok, Russia. He wanted to meet up with his girlfriend, who lived in South Korea but returned to Russia. Black was subsequently arrested under accusations of stealing things from his Russian girlfriend. To add to Black’s “luck”, the Army did not authorize him to go to Russia, and he also was married.
From the Associated Press:
An American soldier visiting a girlfriend in Russia’s port city of Vladivostok was arrested on charges of stealing from her and remains in custody, according to several U.S. officials.
U.S. officials said Monday the soldier, Staff Sgt. Gordon Black, 34, was stationed in South Korea and was in the process of returning home to Fort Cavazos in Texas. Instead, officials said that Black, who is married, traveled to Russia to see a longtime girlfriend. His arrest only further complicates U.S. relations with Russia, which have grown increasingly tense as the war in Ukraine drags on.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel details.
Cynthia Smith, Army spokeswoman, confirmed that a soldier was detained on Thursday in Vladivostok, a major military and commercial Pacific port, on charges of criminal misconduct. She said Russia notified the U.S. and the Army told the soldier’s family.
“The U.S. Department of State is providing appropriate consular support to the soldier in Russia,” Smith said.
According to officials, the Russian woman had lived in South Korea, and last fall she and Black got into some type of domestic dispute or altercation. After that, she left South Korea. It isn’t clear if she was forced to leave or what, if any, role Korean authorities had in the matter.

— The TikTok Trail Of The U.S. Soldier Arrested In Russia
Left By His Russian ‘Wife’ —

Holy fucking shit…..
MAKE THIS A CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL ENDOESEMENT.!!!!!
“I understand Russia’s position, obviously. They want to defend their country,” Black says in the video before Vashchuk interjects and says former U.S. President Donald Trump “is better” than current U.S. President Joe Biden.
I AM MAKING THE Laughs!!
The fact that Putin and Russia think Trump is better than Biden is not the endorsement of Trump you think it is.
The fact that Trump admitted so many dictators and despots and they have positive feelings toward him is NOT a plus for a US president.
*admired* not “admitted”.
Trump still expressed frequent admiration for dictators and despots.
There’s a yuge difference between a “working, diplomatic relationship” and “admiration”. As opposed to Joe Biden actually being in the pocket of dictators and despots.
Do I need to say it?
Missed YOU!
I wonder which campus they had to arrest him at to get him to leave?
Fuck you
Over the years Trump has “expressed frequent admiration” for a lot of people. Just like any other ass-kissing salesman or politician. Perhaps you have heard the phrase “My friend across the aisle” or “My friend the Senator/Congressman from XXXXX”.
The fact that Putin and Russia think Trump is better than Biden is not the endorsement of Trump you think it is.
But it is, Oh it SO is.
You Joe Bidick gobblers can’t understand we were feared and respected and no one has ever feared Joe Biden, except fictional CornPop and the ONLY eay anyone as fad fear assocuated with the crippled, broke dick individual we have a (P) resident of the White House now is concern and an abkect fear of how much SHIT he'[s gonigt oget us into and what kind of image we have around the globe and how he and his ilk and handlers are 100% on team Soros, McClave, Berger, Pritzker, Rice, Clintons, Obamas, FBI, DOJ, CIA and the rest of the politisized agencies and heads and are intent on the destricution of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Decloration of Independence and the democratic way of live in America and this society.
The fact that you had to jump in here is a shining example of that.
Thanks for being the beacon of bullshit.
You’ll have to excuse the typos I didn’t proofread and my fingers sometimes don’t hit the right keys.
You got the gist of it though 6+.
“Beacon of Bullshit”.
Would I be showing my age if I said that when I read that, I heard Spiro Agnew?
even if all it triggered was “nattering nabobs” – yes.
That’s exactly what it triggered.
Yeah,, OBiteme has Russia shaking in their boots! Putin must of heard the threats ole Bitme threw at Corn Pop, or even when he would take Trump “out behind the gym”!
He’s a damn joke! Seems that you are as well!
“Don’t!” That’s enough to make any dictator quake in their boots. //S//
As usual, you’re wrong.
Putin said a Biden presidency is better for Russia, suggesting that Biden is predictable.
Putin says a Biden presidency is better for Russia than a Trump one | CNN
“Dictators”, as you put it, all prefer Biden because not only is he weak, but he’s also incompetent and easily corruptible, and he’s doing damage to this country that is irreparable.
A simple internet search shows that every leftist media website says the same thing, but you’re so blinded by your TDS that facts escape you.
…and nobody gives a shit what a clownish Russian girl says. She’s a moron like her ex-boyfriend.
Boys…. Boys….
He went to visit her in Vladivostok, they had words, he left (or got thrown out) and she– after he bought a ticket to go home– called the cops on him to be nasty:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-soldier-detained-russia-travelled-160336300.html
Ah, the plot thickens… He’s married (and to someone not the Russky chick) and she’s divorcing his ass:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/wife-u-soldier-detained-russia-115506042.html
Looks like he screwed things up in all kinds of ways.
So, she’s not doing the “Stand by your man” thing?
So stupid he gets his own thread.
The 1st Sergeant’s Weekend Safety Brief is now going to be twenty minutes longer.
It already runs into Saturday morning, I like to get home before the cartoons start.
You would be lucky to catch the last twenty minutes of 60 Minutes.
The PowerPoint is going to be lit.
The safety briefing started yesterday
And continues for the next 30 days
It was already bad enough with the “101 Critical Days of Summer.”
Poster child for the term: DUMBASS
Why didn’t he stop off in North Korea and Iran as well?
Steve1371,
Guess #1 – He saw through the honey traps from those countries, but couldn’t figure it out with the Russian.
Guess #2 – Hair, eyes, skin, and accent…
He digs Russian women more than the others.
Copy that MD61!
Let my guess…
She gave him some punani in exchange for money & gifts, but he wanted it to be more serious. She said “Nyet”, so he smacked her around. She went to home, and he went to her place in Russia to take back his gifts. She called the local cops, so now he’s busted.
You can fill the name of any military installation in the word and same story plays out time and time again. Usually the guy is younger/less experience. I bet he’s counseled junior people on this, but didn’t recognize it happening to himself.
He’s probably on his third marriage by now. When you have a dispute with an ex-girlfriend, you don’t resort to self-help, you take her to Judge Judy.
She must have something extra special between her legs for this dumbass to go to this kind of risk.
I wonder if the Russian state security peeps have started the advanced interrogation techniques between his legs yet.
“She must have something extra special between her legs”
With some the dregs and freaks the military has been forced to take in today it could be a massive schlong.
This should end well…
“…Russian girlfriend. To add to Black’s “luck”, the Army did not authorize him to go to Russia, and he also was married.”
But he is up to date on his DEI training, so he has that going for him, which is nice.
Will he have to repeat the class again?
The Russian military is currently interrogating him on the US Military Diversity Equity and Inclusion doctrine. Once they get that information, the conquest of Ukraine will be complete, since diversity is the key to our success in battle. Back when Hack Stone was in uniform, diversity meant the proper amount of combined arms support.
I think this asshat checked off every box on the “how to fuck up in Korea” checklist.
Private Travis King was unavailable for comment.
So ‘tarded even nK didn’t want him for propaganda purposes.
Well, he didn’t marry a stripper.
How do you know? 🥴
Russian woman working in South Korea = stripper 99% of the time. And we know nothing of the actual wife…
I wonder where ol’ Travis is these days.
Juicy bar Vladivostok in Songtan outside Osan AB.
Was 20-odd years ago, but concept probably still going. A wee soundtrack item at the time from the vicinity…
Same-Same outside Humphreys and in Itaewon 1999-2000. Nearly as many Russian girls as Korean.
Korea now cracking-down on such stuff outside Humphreys– there’ll still be some, but the ville in Pyongtaek won’t be like Itaewon’s hooker hill or Songtan with the big relocation there (ROKs tired of all that).
I may or may not have terrorized the ville (Anjung-ri) outside Humphreys in 88-90. It’s not that I’m denying anything, my memory of those years is somewhat hazy. I admit nothing, call my lawer.
Vodka instead of soju?
Vodak 🏳️🌈🤣
Yes, but soju available– main attraction being the round-eye juicies, naturally.
That is even less of a fuckup than this.
But you are correct that this was a box left unchecked. Though I would not be surprised if she was a camgirl. Which the Gen Z version of a stripper.
Which would bode even worse for Gen Z.
Your buddies
Starting point?
5 more to make it a 12 pack, but yeah, that probably started it. Papers mailed to Russia for his signature will be the end of it.
Just in case anybody here is in need of it I wish I had seen this years ago when I was still drinking.
There’s a story about me getting knocked out by a tree frog in Okinawa, but that’s for another day.
Did you get a chance? Google the spoon University, But currently their website is having a server problem, but here’s a second one that’s almost the same
https://thekoreanguide.com/best-soju-flavors/
At least it wasn’t a Habu snake!
Was the tree still attached to the frog?
Yes, with all certainty… finally the “soju experience” makes the news:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/yall-drunk-south-korea-tiktoker-175842107.html
Never was a huge fan of Soju, but I’m pretty sure that OB beer had a drop in profits when I left Korea.
…and more where that came from.
I just got back from the field I grow my fucks…its barren.
Too bad, so sad. Mustve been some magic va-geene. Should’ve taken that left in Albuquerque homie…
Hack Stone was able to get a photo of her.
She’s hawt.
Her chin is so sharp it’ll cut you. 😉
Hack Stone,
The opening seconds here are perfect, just perfect.

“Keel moose and squirrel…”
Do we have any more Russon arms traders to trade?
Fresh out, traded the last one (played by Nick Cage in the movie) for a dumbass “CBD”-using WNBA player.
No chance, he is a straight white male and too short to play hoops. Best we can do is a Pravda reporter on a controlled substance charge.
This is a pretty basic espionage affair. Learn all you can from your young dumb GI who thinks with his little brain (Dosent matter the rank when thinking with your penis). Instead of the constant warnings about op sec you hear constantly at formation. Then he follows the bitch home to an enemy’s country. You can’t get much more stupid than this. We need to get him home, then a BCD and some jail time.
Her ability to suck-start a lawnmower broke his below-average little brain.
Sucked his brains and heart right out his pee-pee.
Ahhh, but can she start a harley.
I just can’t anymore. Why are stories like this even common at all? Why do Americans travel to countries that are either unsafe or are not on great terms with the United States? Why do some of our troops decide to go full retard and end up getting captured by our enemies/rivals for a myriad of stupid reasons? I would like to blame Brandon for this idiocy, but honestly I feel this thing stretches back to Barry.
No idea why anyone would travel to Russia
In this day and age
All part of the plan with lowering military standards and allowing encouraging all sorts of deviants..
Considering all the stupid crap soldiers do during their ROK tours…this is literally top 0.00001% stupid.
As you well know fromyour “vast” experience, the dildo of consequence rarely comes lubed.
If its lubed, its well used.
No lube. However, razor tape wrapped and dipped in $hit.

6 to 8 weeks. The broadcast booth picked up his scream of pain. I half expected to see him hurl his lunch.
I couldn’t find the old 1960’s “What did you think would happen?” safety poster, but this one works as well.
Just for ol’ Gordy:
Mom said not to follow the stripper home.
Challenge accepted!

Mail his Big Chicken Dinner Papers to him and let Ivan have his azz…AND keep it. We got enough sh^tbirds at Fort Hood as it is.
If he was sitting in Onslow County Jail, he would be run as “IHCA”, In Hands of Civilian Authority. How does the gaining unit, since he already transferred out of the Command Korea, list him? Maybe “MUFII”, Massive Fuck Up International Incident?
Sounds like one unit still owes the other unit a soldier. However, the receiving unit should be glad they dodged the idiot bullet.
I don’t remember people being this stupid when I was in
They were smart enough not to make the news cycle. Story at 10
Obviously you have never been assigned to a Marine Corps Electronics Maintenance Company (ELMACO). We had plenty of individuals willing to step up and fill that Brig Quota. We had one genius at ELMACO 1st Maintenance Battalion who had a part time job delivering pizzas for a business out in town. One holiday weekend, he decided to join the Pizza joint manager for a trip “South of The Border” to visit said manager’s family. While down there, manager asked said genius to do him a solid, that being to provide transports for the manager’s brother and friend. Transport said passengers in the bed of his brand new tricked out pickup with the pop up bed cover. Manager got out of the vehicle and walked across the border. Meanwhile, Marine drew a lot of attention to himself by constantly changing lanes at the border, so he got flagged for secondary inspection. Border Patrol pops the bed cover and the two guys haul ass back to Tiajuana. Marine gets arrested for smuggling and his truck is confiscated. It gets a lot better. You’ll get the “rest of the story” at the next TAH Beer Summit.
Onslow jail. I see that place and ended up with a set of handcuff keys I found with a fob attached to them.

So what was this mutt’s MOS, Military Intelligence?
Possibly related to, or working for, Amed Fsaesi, CIA. Both trying to woo the undies off the ladies.
He was charged with theft. Pretty sure it wasn’t her virginity.

The most important unanswered question is did he get his allotment to the 2024 Soldier’s Relief Fund in before his untimely incarceration? 1st Sergeant doesn’t care if you are in a Russian gulag, there will be 100% participation.
This guy is fucked. Once he’s released, he’ll probably go to the pokey for a stint
He’s got one thing going for him. As a former Drill Sergeant, he knows the position he’ll assume during his last moments of freedom, should he be returned to the US:
“7. On the command FALL IN or on the command of execution ATTENTION of Demonstrator, ATTENTION.
8. Bring the heels together sharply on line, with the toes pointing out equally, forming an angle of 45-degrees. Rest the weight of the body evenly on the heels and balls of both feet. Keep the legs straight without locking the knees. Hold the body erect with the hips level, chest lifted and arched, and the shoulders square.
9. Keep the head erect and face straight to the front with the chin drawn in so that the alignment of the head and neck is vertical.
10. Let the arms hang straight without stiffness. Curl the fingers so that the tips of the thumbs are alongside and touching the first joint of the forefingers. Keep the thumbs straight along the seams of the trouser leg with the first joint of the fingers touching the trousers.
11. Remain silent and do not move unless otherwise directed. RELAX.
12. At normal cadence, this position would look as follows: FALL IN. RELAX. Demonstrator, ATTENTION. RELAX.
13. What are your questions pertaining to this position when executed at normal cadence or using the talk-through method of instruction?”
“PVT Black, you are hereby remanded to US Disciplinary Barracks, Leavenworth until such time as your big head outthinks your little one.”
“Or until such time that your head has been successfully removed from your ass”
Do safety briefs no longer cover the disadvantages of relationships with foreign nationals?
Get control of your desires or they’ll get control of you.
How many times do we have to see someone destroy their life over pussy before the lesson is clear?
Don’t get me wrong, as old as I am I still like that part of life a great deal….but one can’t let it control one’s common sense for fuck’s sake…don’t follow your Russian ex wife/girlfriend/etc or your Chinese love interest back to their home lands…it can’t end well for you….
Here endeth yet another lesson in why strange is a very bad plan.
Was she a Russian stripper or ‘ masseuse ‘ ?
Potato… potata.
I wonder if she married him in hopes of accessing Tri-Care to fix her occupation

American Idiot.
Man, I got screwed (not that way) on my tour in Korea 94-95, all the bar girls were Korean or Filipino, none of them were Eastern Euro or Russian back then.
Well this former DI leads the way

UPDATE – From the REAL WIFE.
(paste)(headline) Wife of U.S. soldier detained in Russia
says he was having an affair, not involved in ‘geopolitical intrigue’
(more) Megan Black said her husband’s trip to Russia was “ill-advised” but simply part of an extramarital affair. Black’s mother said she thought he had been set up by his girlfriend.
Megan Black is in the process of divorcing her husband and called on Russian authorities through a statement from her attorney, Brett Pritchard, to release him to provide comfort to their 6-year-old daughter.
She said she had no knowledge of his trip to Vladivostok in eastern Russia until an Army investigation branch official contacted her asking for information on what was at first a missing person inquiry, and only learned about the details of the trip after NBC News broke the story of his detention Monday.
“Nevertheless, Megan Black firmly believes that Mr. Black’s decision to travel to Russia, while ill-advised, was motivated by entirely personal reasons involving an extra-marital affair,” her lawyer said in the statement Thursday.
“It is Mrs. Black’s desire that her husband obtains a prompt and fair resolution to his current legal situation and is able to secure his release back homer as soon as possible,” the statement continued, adding that the situation had created “substantial distress” for the estranged couple’s daughter.

The article says he can get off as light as a $2,200 fine and 30 days of compulsory labor. So basically, 14 and 14 and forfeiture of a half months pay. Hell of a deal. Maybe he’ll get lucky and score that sentence, get booted from Russia, and declared persona non grata!🤣
