I'm guessing he'd rather be in the USA, if it meant he weren't thrown in a prison cell and possibly executed for treason.
Anyway, what a cynical point of view. Yes, we tend to treat our own citizens here moderately well compared to a totalitarian state (real high bar there). And that's great, but when it comes to international relations, it seems foreigners or even some citizens abroad are viewed as obstacles, at best. This is not a great way to conduct foreign policy. First of all, it's morally wrong, for the same reason you don't want a country doing these things to its own citizens. But if that is unconvincing, then at least an appeal to self-interest: should we ever find ourselves not in the position as #1 superpower, our past actions will likely come back to haunt us.
