This guy has to be one of the dimmest folks I have ever seen. Putin straight tried to kill him, failed and the world did nothing and yet he still turned himself in as some type of martyr. The world was going to do nothing and they were going to torture him and trump up any charges they felt to ensure he never sees the light of day again and for what? Nothing.
He could have done more even in exile.
Frankly i find it inconsiderate to the social contract to go out on holidays, and sometimes around them.
Its frankly why i always found Black Friday and the “scope creep” of this festival of consumerism partially so repulsive. I mean its repulsive on its own just in the way people act, but doubly so in that it runs right through a national holiday.
I mean there’s precedence. Avian bird flus have been known to infect humans.
I was going to say “are we in a simulation” but this would work too.
He had a dry run with the attempt on his life. He knew nothing would come of it. That the rest of the world would do nothing.
Hell Russia has since pushed the boundaries much further with no recourse.
I can respect that he’s principled and still recognize the total lack of forethought in the move.
