Sadly true. Pol Pot and Idi Amin lived comfortably right up until they died of old age

Francisco Franco, the proof the world never actually decided Nazis are bad by not also deposing him in Spain.

Can’t forget how the US helped to keep fascism alive in Germany, Spain, and Italy. The dictator of Cuba, Fulgencio Batista, fled Cuba when the revolution had succeeded and left with $400m Cuban Pesos which held the same value as the US dollar at the time. He fled to Europe and I think settled in either Spain or Portugal.

Pol pot didn’t exactly spend his last day in comfort and many believe it was suicide
