        Because in Japan, they’d be had for battery. Even self defense in Japan as defined as enough, and only enough, to flee in most cases; punching someone who punches you doesn’t qualify if you can remove yourself from the situation otherwise.

        Sure people tried, just slapping about and I assume he enjoyed the attention. Like the other Vile social media guy that got arrested in Thailand ( Asia) when he gets out he’ll just be even more vile.

    “Distributing sexual deepfakes”.

    Yeah, that sounds a lot more serious than simply harassing people, yet it’s only mentioned for a single sentence here.

    I don’t suppose there’s any prisoner swaps with North Korean hard labour camps is there?

      Might be able to work something out. The South Korean president is trying to normalize relations with the North and formally end the war I believe.

      I mean. The entire world needs to apologize to the leaders of the North. At least on world politics matter. They literally got nukes, flexed them, and then left the rest of the world alone only to be proven correct about the need to obtain nukes to remain sovereign and not get invaded.

      Iran and Ukraine learned the hard way.

      If you have nukes, don’t give them up! Even if you don’t have launch codes. Doesn’t matter. Don’t give up those nukes.

      If you don’t have nukes but someone says “they’re trying to build nukes”; you fucking build nukes as fast as possible. Even if you had no plans to.

    He has also been accused of harassing people while travelling in Japan and Israel.

    I’m conflicted. Like, fuck him for being an annoying tourist - but he also harassed Israelis.

    Broken clock I guess.
