      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.

        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?

      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.
