Say, a Russian dissident went a western country, became a citizen, gave up Russian citizenship, then putin visits, this person gets mad, brings a gun and shoots putin.
What will international relations look like? Since the person is not exactly a native of their adopted country. Lets assume trump wasn’t president, what if its a Russian-American? Would the US extradite, or do the trial themselves. Would the headline look like “American Assassinated Putin” or “Russian Dissident Assassinated Putin”. Would it cause more or less tensions, than it it had been a non-russian white person being the assassin?
What about like EU countries? Australia? UK?
Or if the visit was in, say, Japan?
You mean what would happen if for example an Austrian archduke where to be assassinated by a Serb activist whilst visiting Bosnia?
oh no! here goes Poland
Those are all minor countries, I’m sure it would be fine.
As long as it doesn’t come out afterwards that the Crown Prince of Serbia was running the conspiracy with half of his military officers
Is that true? I’m woefully undereducated when it comes to the events leading up to WW1
Yeah. The actual assassination was performed by members of Young Bosnia, which was a nationalist group that incorporated some anarchist ideas that obviously got them labeled as pure anarchists despite wanting to, you know, create a new state named… Drumroll… Yugoslavia.
The Young Bosnians were funded, helped, and organized by a group called The Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist group composed of various military officers and the crown prince, out to create a Balkan empire dominated by Serbia. Their preferred name for that, btw, is back in style under the Greater Serbia moniker.
The funny thing about the assassination is that it accomplished all the aims of the assassins, namely the destruction of the AHE and creation of a Yugoslavia controlled by the Serbian royal family.
