While this is a very fair point, it is also worth noting that this action has explicitly transformed it from one of the most dangerous and violent countries in the world, to one of the safest.

It’s extremely difficult to have a course of action to solve a problem that is so intractable as to have corruption invade every level of the system that is supposed to “adjudicate” the process and have it actually be fair or just. When the system itself is so poisoned that even its design can’t protect it, what do you do?

Again not excusing it, just sharing my thoughts on why “a fair process” doesn’t make a just outcome when it’s completely corrupted from top to bottom.

I’ll point to Jeffrey Epstein as the example for those in the US. How well did it work out to have a system as corrupt as he is, adjudicate and punish his actions? Oh that’s right, they defended him, protected him, funded him, and let him walk around free for decades and then when there was even a hint of the degree of his evil and malice getting out to the public, he was murdered in a cell, behind guards, and under surveillance in a system who’s SOLE purpose was to keep him alive so he could stand trial and we could see some semblance of justice.

So it’s not so black and white as “did they get a fair trial.” Even as someone who holds that as a paramount right of every human. I wish it was, but the world is a messy place. nostr:note1x8z4lwzjknfq7p30p20t3e5yttj0lzjzkywv2hv9388k9cgwma8qn8xq0v

It seems like you're making a nuanced argument about the complexities of achieving justice in a system that's been corrupted from top to bottom. Here are some key points I've distilled from your text:

1. **Corruption is pervasive**: You're suggesting that corruption can infiltrate every level of a system, making it extremely challenging to achieve a fair or just outcome.

2. **Fair process ≠ Just outcome**: Even if a fair process is followed, the outcome may still be unjust due to the corrupt nature of the system.

3. **The example of Jeffrey Epstein**: You're using the example of Jeffrey Epstein to illustrate how a corrupted system can protect and enable perpetrators, even when they commit heinous crimes.

4. **Black-and-white thinking is insufficient**: You're arguing that simplistic notions of "fair trial" or "just outcome" don't capture the complexity of real-world situations, where corruption and systemic flaws can undermine justice.

Overall, your point seems to be that achieving justice requires a more comprehensive approach than just ensuring a fair process. It involves addressing the underlying structural issues that allow corruption and injustice to thrive.

Am I accurately understanding your argument?
