How is it possible to know with certainty that Urey died from "underlying health conditions?" Are the people supposed to just take these thugs at their word? Clearly he wasn't given "sufficient medical treatment." Unless they allow the body to be returned to his family, we have only their useless word they did their best. While maybe they did, when they realized his poor health, they became complicit in murdering him by not allowing him to be returned home! Not to get political, but there are a large number of people in the US who do not support trying to find a way to get Griner, etal, back from Russian prison. A bit of "you did the crime, do the time." I cannot support that as I've seen pics of former prisoners once released from prison. While what she did was arrogant and criminal, I don't believe she should have to pay for it with her health and I don't believe Russia can be trusted to feed and treat her adequately. If it were my family, regardless of her behavior, I'd still want her returned home immediately, with some other form of punishment. One can't help but wonder had they been paying attention and done that for Urey, he might be home alive and on the road to recovery. I hold out no hope for any of the UK or US mercenaries being held. If for nothing else, they will be used as a warning to others.

Yes, beware August. I'm reminded of how Chamberlain was so wrong and on September l, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany, both countries having previously signed defense treaties with Poland.
