The USSR from the Stalin era onwards had world-leading biological and chemical weapons programmes, largely due to having plenty of test subjects in the gulag system.

Also, he’s a Respectable Gay. He wears the diversity label, and perhaps could live with his husband and their two pedigree handbag dogs in an immaculately decorated apartment, though him being at all sexual is unimaginable.

Are they still allowed into the Schengen zone? If so, the German government will have some tough questions to answer regarding its Staatsräson obligations.
