Well that and they physically could not hide it. Radioactive detectors were going off all over Europe. Wasn't much the Russians could do other than own up.

I'm always reminded of Pelagia of Antioch when I look at these women. Though that might be giving them too much credit. Pelagia was a famous prostitute, beautiful to look at, adorned in the finest clothing, jewels and gold. To even look at her was to risk your soul for the feelings of lust you'd...

solves some problems for them. They'd blame outside aggressors, or corruption (billionaires on average only live to 47 there) and execute someone powerful and convenient. The end.

LOL - probably, at least there's nothing he could do about it while in jail. At least until he grants someone limited POA to deal with his financial matters.

that doesn't actually happen unless you're being held as a material witness (where you'll sit in jail or given bail). He would be free to leave and they could subpoena him or not but it would be difficult to enforce outside of the jurisdiction.

Well, assuming no other difficulties you could always sort the sperm by sex (I know it's artificial and I'm a TERF). No need for IVF (left over sperm used to implant an egg with the medical equivalent of a turkey baster). Much less expensive and no heart break.

Of course they will. Have you met these assholes? Might take sometime but memories are short where money can be made.

I fully expect Charles III to dissolve Parliament and rule as king.
