yeah, I mean, you're still missing the possibility that he was messed with right in the US
Russians are happy to go all the way down and they have plenty of sympathizers
like if you think Romania is known for "theft" be aware that Russia has an entire splinter-division that acts as a semi-espionage semi-theft unit that plunders on the regular in many countries and they're extremely able
getting people in the US in his area to mess with him so he gets annoyed and goes to Russia would not be that difficult for Russia
most people wouldn't even imagine that something that is going on might actually be part of a psyop till the proverbial bullets fly
I wouldn't go to Russia because Romania is crappy enough and just a "smaller Russia" but if things are kept "legal" it's not like there's any implicit distrust unless there's like an ongoing war
and as I understood it, he went there before the war...
I wouldn't judge too harshly and I hate to say it but he should have been warned thoroughly by his embassy...
