C2, Edward has not yet cleared Russian airspace and can be apprehended forthwith. In any event he is not throwing in his lot with Vladimir et al, he is transiting, which is quite a different kettle of fish. <Also undercuts his claims that his interest lies in preserving freedom. And linking up with RasPutin will also be seen as a liability. >

Preserving his freedom is obviously important to him and reasonably so. When The Empire attacks, any port in the storm is reasonable.

Hong Kong was perhaps not necessarily going to leave him alone. He can presumably return there any time.

Meanwhile, as shown by Ecuador giving asylum to Julian Assange, banana republics are people too and should not be unduly denigrated. Venezuela is also not a beacon of freedom but sometimes freedom has to be taken where it is found. When Venezuela, Russia and Cuba are more interested in freedom than is the USA, one must start asking serious questions. Similarly with China being seen as a place for asylum.

30 and 40 years ago, it would have been absurd to think of Russia, Cuba and China as places to flee to instead of away from.

This appears to be the tipping point between the millennia of alpha male territorial kleptocratic genocidal dominance hierarchy temporal tribalism and We the People aligned with the new realm of Cyberspace sentience. You are with us or against us.
