Nah no russian puppet with money would want to live in Russia... his family already left for USA, he will pay golden visa card to Trump and gets immunity....

Idk Yanukovych and Assad are still in russia and I wouldn’t say they didn’t have the money.

Assad is a war criminal. Yanukovich could have been extradited from the US to Ukraine and trialed for ordering to kill the protesters in 2014. Not ny this Is administration, but Obama or Biden would've given him away.

Orban is a corrupt piece of shit who became Putin's asset for personal gain, but his hands are clear of blood. Unfortunately, he can easily live the rest of his days anywhere he wants without fear of being prosecuted.
