Interesting thing. If he now in Russia how the fuck he gonna get his royalty money, from movie and books.
What was his crime? I don't see anything wrong with being an arms dealer. Power to the people.

> Power to the people
But only to those who can afford it and have the right connections. In other words, mostly to those who sold enough hard drugs or underage sex slaves or smuggled resources stripping the local population out of them. Don't you think it's a shitty way of the power redistribution?
And where would these groups and people get money to buy these weapons?
In third world countries nowadays "people's struggle for freedom" is always almost about some terrorist organisations funded by drugs, illegal mining and people trafficking controlled by rich maniacs who don't care about people nor their freedom but put "we fight for people" in their motto to have an international excuse of all the shit they're doing.
There're some exceptions but in these cases fighting groups don't benefit from arm dealers as these groups have no money at all.

It shapes your mind and body, makes you calm and people will respect you for the aura you get when doing martial arts.
I'm thinking to learn taekwondo as I have strong legs from cycling every day.

Well if we're going to be serious about all that shizzle, just buy a gun and learn how to use it (if you haven't done that already) and you're settled. No point in going through all the motions when you have access to the great equaliser (firearms). The point of martial arts, as far as I understand it, is in acquiring bodily control more than just learning how to fight; the latter is largely a redundant skill if you live in a more or less civilised place, and if you don't, chances are you already know how to fight.
>acquiring bodily control
What the fuck does that even mean?
What would keep someone from going dancing instead of martial arts if we're talking about bodily control here, something that I barely even know what means to begin with.
What's the distinction between someone doing gymnastics from someone who wants to get into martial arts, if bodily control is the desired outcome of it?
Literally no value whatsoever, it's a bunch of overhyped fluff that doesn't add to the life of a person unless that person is someone who is very retarded to begin with. If you live outside of Japan or another asian country with a flourishing martial arts scene, and if you take it to your heart, then you are a complete and utter fucking moron.
I mean learning how to retain conscious command over your movements and reactions in a situation of physical conflict rather than turning into either frightened monke or full retard berserk, which is what people generally do when the adrenaline hits.
At least this is what the aikidofags I used to hang around with back in high school used to explain to me. Otherwise I pretty much share your attitude towards martial arts, and have never been interested in them.
