Didn’t they US used to send special forces out to rescue people like that in the past?

    Obviously because Trump told him to say this. They’re trying to baffle us with bullshit.

      The guy is a fucking dictator. Dictators can do whatever the hell they want. In the lead up to the Iraq war, Saddam was accused of locking tons of innocent people up. In an attempt to placate this, he ordered all prisoners to be released. All Iraqi prisons were empty and prisoners were set free. Even the ones that abso-fucking-lutely did things that are criminal in any society (ex: murder and armed robbery), it didn’t help his international reputation in the slightest.

      That fucker could release all of the prisoners sent to him on a whim.
