    Sorry but I don’t think any country at this moment would be too happy to welcome fucking genocidal rapists maniac ex-convicted murderers.
    The fact that at some point along the way they went “aww this is so cold and they’re shooting back at me, I’m off” doesn’t make those bastard war criminals something one would want as neighbours. And paid for it too lol. No thanks.

    Not everything can be sorted with a cost-expenses spreadsheet.

      During the second world war British secret service got most of their intelligence by being nice to captured Nazis. They were more amenable to a bit of give and take if they were being put up in nice hotels with lots of food. It actually proved more effective than torture.

      Since they were far more interested in themselves than “the cause” they were perfectly happy to exchange military intelligence for ongoing luxury.

      Russia is a dictatorship and most Russians don’t want anything to do with it, but they don’t have a choice fighting the dictatorship is suicide. If you give them an out I’m sure they’ll take it.
