Lost his job, lost his home, getting a divorce and currently living on a friend's autocracy.

If she takes the dog, you got yourself a country song

even if he doesn't, we should still write "Deposed Dictator Blues" about him

But she didn't have any problem when he murdered people by the hundreds of thousands, did she?

Let her in. Then deport her to Syria.

Although his asylum request was accepted, Bashar al-Assad is still reportedly subject to severe restrictions. He is not permitted to leave Moscow or engage in any political activities. Russian authorities have also frozen his assets and money. His assets include 270 kilograms of gold, $2 billion, and 18 apartments in Moscow.

So many locations with windows to fall out of! How can he possibly decide?

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Pretty fucked up, honestly. She was okay with all of the shit he did before?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 21 points 1 year ago

A lot of people are okay with a lot of stuff until it starts coming back and impacting their own day-to-day life.

Good luck divorcing a violent dictator while they're in power.

Do we know she was fine with it?

The guy is a despot, would you ask for a divorce from someone like that in a country he runs surrounded by sycophants who have no problem torturing people to death en masse?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

well losing a country always puts alot of stress on relationships. it is the number one reason for divorces.

I guess there is a new most eligible bachelor in Moscow now!

Why not just jump straight to the polonium poisoning? No need to enrich a bunch of lawyers on the way.

I guarantee Starmer will find a way to let her in though.
