          That wasn’t the question I was answering, but I’m sure very few if any

            It might be worth asking why a national leader simply handing oneself over to a militant opposition isn’t something that happens more frequently. Is there no such thing as a valiant national leader? Or would martyring yourself for the sake of a foreign coalition’s legal code be kinda pointless and dumb?

              Sure, but it’s the valiant choice.

              A truly valiant leader probably wouldn’t find themselves in the situation where it was necessary to do that

                it’s the valiant choice.

                In the same way that shoving your dick into a wood chipper is, sure.

                Was Alexi Navalny valiant? Was Prigovian? Was Milosivec? Was Saddam Hussein?

                A truly valiant leader probably wouldn’t find themselves in the situation where it was necessary to do that

                “No truly valiant person has ever had a warrant out for their arrest” is…

                Come on dude.
