    If the Trump Admin agreed not to transport people in handcuffs, that wouldn’t be a capitulation, but rather what Petro wanted. Remember the Trump Admin is going to spin literally every outcome as “a victory” while talking shit about the other guy, regardless of the reality of any negotiation outcome.

      Of course it’s a capitulation. You do not negotiate with Nazis. They do not keep their word.

        If the Nazis have grabbed your citizens, please take them back. Leaving them in the hands of Nazis is a cruelty of its own.

            Well, if they are flown there, take them no matter the circumstances. What else could I have possibly meant by that?

            If they’re your citizens and they’ve been nabbed off the street in a hostile foreign country (USA) don’t make them suffer for your principles and let them end up in some camp or holding cell, because that’s what these nuts are gonna do. They 100% will be abused if they get rejected back out of Columbia, because that’s a clear sign no one cares about their well being.
