Abhorrent behavior from our representatives, unforgivable.

    I looked up a list of countries without extradition to the US and it’s a short list today. I’m not sure what it was when this took place, but it’s probably quite similar. Not many of the options seem like an appealing long term plan 🙃

      Also keep in mind that a country that doesn’t have such a treaty is largely free to extradite someone to the US anyway, as a one-off. So really the list is even shorter.

        And add to that the US is perfectly willing to conduct military operations in other countries without even asking them if that strikes their fancy, and you realize you need to be inside a:

        • nuclear armed country
        • openly hostile to the US

        Not a long list indeed.
