you cannot detain a diplomat, that is the power of diplomatic immunity.

Those westerners are fools. Will they have tolerated Russia or China interfering in their domestic affair? or protesting tangibly against the continuous treatment of Julian Assange? I think all Russia needs to do is to build her country economically strong and most of these insults will naturally fade away.
