RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)That is secondary to the main issue of where one's primary loyalties and affections lie. A dual citizen can have their primary loyalty to either country. A second or retained passport signals a special attachment of affection or loyalty in another country. Where you are raised, and if you (or your parents, which could be quite different) renounced one citizenship or another, provides extra information about loyalty and attachment. If she herself permanently renounced her U.S. citi ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)@AlexUgorji_ This presumably can be easily fixed by renouncing their EU citizenship. If not, it's an extremely unacceptable policy that can and should be fixed with aggressive American diplomancy. ...

If a woman who arrived here with limited English, no car, and no ...

A highly respected academic. And they destroyed her life. So in the end. She was given the opportunity to open a new institute in Saint Petersburg, Rus ...
