Absolutely a bad guy. And I can totally understand that impulse. The trade-off that you make here, though, is the more difficult you make it for these types of leaders to flee, the more of an incentive you give them to try to stay in power.

Right? So if you go your back against the wall... And you think you have to torture, you have to kill, you drop those barrel bombs in order to maintain power. Because there's no way out, that is exactly what you will do. Honestly, it's difficult. You know, in German, we call this a choice between the plague and cholera. Right?

So you have to imagine this completely absurd scenario where the American Air Force is flying out this dictator that had done a lot of terrible things to Hawaii.
