The plane tickets to escape from the leftist hell of our home country. We literally had to sell whatever little we had left just to pay for them, which wasn't much, after socialists destroyed most of the economy. Kind of burned ships policy.
luckily we only got held at gunpoint at the airport once by the regime military police until we gave them the bribe they demanded of us.
The good part is that we are now much happier in another country were we can work and relatively live a normal life.
I can't find anything in OP's history that would speak to that. No matter what political mindset, general suspicion really doesn't help anyone. On the contrary, this kind of bogus argumentation makes any meaningful discussion impossible.
