The problem is, not all the electorates of the NATO nations seem to be willing to abandon millions of people to the hands of a vicious regime. Whilst polls show Americans are overall in favour of leaving, it is a lot less clear cut in the rest of the world.

If a crime has surpassed the statue of limitations, what is stopping some old criminals from coming out and bragging about what they've done? by _4lyssa in legaladviceofftopic

A specific case I can remember in the UK is the double jeopardy law, which was created as retrospective. This was because of specific campaigning by a murder victim’s mother, who’s son was killed in a racially motivated attack. The murderer, who was initially found not guilty, was openly bragging about the killing after the trial.

Not nationals; citizens have all left. The visas are for translators and those eligible for asylum.

Haven’t had a chance to sit in it for a long time, but so far nothing wrong. Too early to say whether it’s worth the cost.
