It just occurred to me why they may not want to return Kilmar Garca

72. Interesting theory here.

Anyway we slice it, we cannot make the money end of it work out.

Let's just say that some of the facts are not correct, they are out of their cells during the day.
There is a basement sweatshop in the prison. Even if the work is very dangerous or lucrative,
hard to imagine it would cover the costs of the prison. Running such an enterprise would mean
more staff costs and more opportunity for escape or sabotage.

So we have to imagine what kind of work would offset the huge cost of running the prison.
We can't do so readily.

The Germans tried various methods at first to deal with the people they deemed as inferior.
The first plan was to forcible remove European Jews to Madagascar Island off the coast of Africa.
The conditions were deplorable and most of them would die there. But due to Allied blockades,
and transportation costs, etc., it was not feasible.

Then Hitler tried having prisoners dig their own mass graves and then line up and have soldiers kill them.
This was time consuming and the soldiers did not like killing civilians, women and children.
Then Hitler tried mobile gas units, trucks where the Jews could be killed.
Again the soldiers were traumatized and it was slow and tedious.

German love of efficiency demanded better methods and the concentration death camps were invented.
They could kill huge numbers of people quickly and cheaply. And soldiers were not upset.
Remember Hitler was killing millions of Jews. Bullets were not a reasonable option.

The Japanese saw anyone as not Japanese as subhuman and not worthy of respect.
Same thought process as the Germans.
Same thought process as the US MAGAs today.
