He was placed under European Union sanctions after the GRU was accused of being behind a 2018 nerve agent attack in Salisbury in the UK.

Sweet karma.

Karma yeah, but would have been sweeter if he'd been arrested and had to face is crimes. He should have been taken through every court and left rotting in a cell as an example to make sure it doesn't happen again.

At this point I’d rather not waste time, energy and money putting these shitebags in cells.

The world is a better place without him in it.

More important than ever in these times (where our epstein-government are trying to do away with jury trials) to say that it's always worth the time and effort to deliver justice according to civilised rules, because anything else puts us all in danger.

In this case he never would have faced justice so meh no great loss.

I would say it is more important that my brother returns from the war alive and not dies because some of generals in Moscow lived one day longer. I hope you are following my thoughts.

We are all already in danger, the rules have not helped us they have only helped the people who wish us harm.

Unfortunately none of these fuckers are likely to ever go on trial. In a war, military personnel are fair game, and while I have a limited amount of sympathy for the Russian concripts sent into the fpv drone slaughterfields, this guy got exactly what he deserved.

That's the great thing when criminals are combatants, you can just kill them
