Well, as I understand it, even the Soviet Union had a legal system and in it being a traitor and defector with information posing some sort of danger to the People’s Revolution or what-have-you was worth a jab with an umbrella or a sip or two of polonium tea. Same goes for any other country that does assassinations, why even the US won’t quite kill you for back taxes, but will if it suspects you are a terrorist or are related to a terrorist or are standing next to a terrorist or have stood next to a terrorist or can be, in bad light, mistaken for a terr… you get the picture.
Same here. It’s not quite worth the international outrage to kill these bastards. Though as oligarchs gain more and more money and flee with it, things may change. I wonder what the reactions might be if a rousing firefight erupts between a Chinese plutocrat-thief and the drone-team tasked with killing her dead in the middle of Boston, say.
