Even Putin has to use methods more subtle than sending a strike team after his political opponents. Nowadays there are a handful of monarchs that have full legal immunity on paper but I don’t think any of them wants to highlight that they could just outright murder someone with impunity. Trump’s team picking this example as a consequence of their deranged legal theory sounds completely bonkers to me.
lol yea, even in Russia the headlines are always “person falls mysteriously out of window” and not “Putin stabs opponent in face with knife, lets out evil laugh”
The end goal of the right is to do away with all the subtlety they have to do now, so the general population will just follow all their commands without any talkbacks, like “a good chiild does it to the words of their parents”. (Viktor Orbán allegedly said that the average voter is on the mentality of a 12 year old child.)
they wished the US was a bit more like Russia don’t they?
