LOL the guy was an America-hating Chilean Communist who happened to have American citizenship. He was cheerleader for the Russian invasion, yet the Ukrainians allowed him to live there and continue his Russian propaganda efforts for months before he was arrested. He contracts pneumonia and dies in prison.
How long would some British fascist living in the US have been allowed to propagandize on behalf of Germany in 1942? As the American diplomat tells the American parents of a leftist American journalist who has disappeared in Chile after the coup: "Play with fire, get burned."
US Senator J.D. Vance (R – Ohio) wrote on Twitter: “I’m sure the sociopaths will argue, in effect, that Lira deserved it. But count me as one of those who thinks our welfare clients shouldn’t execute our citizens.”
