    I wish its a Russia situation, at least then I can claim political asylum in EU.

    Nope, we’re getting a Turkey situation, where the world still recognize the US as a democracy. So no political asylum to the EU lol.

    (But also, people in Turkey have Schengen access, US citizens don’t have such a thing. So its like Turkey minus Schengen, even worse than Turkey lol)

      Political asylum for being in an undemocratic nation, does that happen? I want to learn.

        Its one of the requirements for political asylum.

        For example:

        • Protesters in Tianamen Square in 1989 (some fled to the US)

        • Falun Gong practicitioners

        • Hong Kong Protesters

        You have to have a lot of documentations, you can’t just show up at the border and claim it.

        If you country is recognized as a democratic country, your chances drop to almost zero. I literally have never heard of anyone from a western democratic country getting political asylum to another western democracic country.
