    It probably goes without saying at this point, but deporting someone to a culture in which they’re not competent is wildly immoral, and doing so in such a way that they end up encarcerated in subhuman conditions especially despite not committing a crime in that jurisdiction is monstrous.

      If you ignore the morality, it is also supremely stupid. Killing your citizens and stealing their stuff might be a “shot in the arm” for a terrible nation, but it also means all of the skills and support they could offer the nation is gone.

        Yeah, but that’s a future people problem. We’ve got only a few years left. Our immediate family is set for life, if not multiple generations. What more could we want? [Speaking from the imagined perspective of oligarchs]
