    My first thought before reading the article was; Oh, he has to step down due to not vetting targets enough and sinking ships he shouldn’t have.

    It is nice to see people stand up for what is morally right and step down in the face of this fascist leader. The only thing that worries me is that the people left are perfectly OK with doing the most horrendous things to its own people and people outside the country for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
