I don’t know what her politics are but it’s not important. The main thing to take away from this is that it’s stupid to visit “third world hellholes” on your own. Period.
Another danger is encountering degenerate people, who may be skillfully disguised.
My wife and I befriended an American woman in India to the extent that we spent several days traveling together. She was attractive, but during our conversations, I began to realize that this woman was seriously sociopathic.
One confirmation came when the three of us visited a jewelry shop in Varinasi.
My wife bought a few things, and as we were leaving, the jeweler offered us seats in his salon.
He asked my wife and me if we would like to buy anything else. We replied: "No, thank you."
Then he turned to the woman and said: "What about you? Would you like to buy anything?"
She said: "No."
But he kept staring at her and said, "Are you sure?"
She said: "Yes," and then "Why?"
He said: "Because you are wearing one of my silver bracelets on your arm."
He had an assistant present, and I realized that it was his job to watch for thieves.
Obviously she had slipped it onto her wrist when she thought no one was looking.
She feigned surprise--not very effectively--and jumped up to return it to him.
As my wife and I, and perhaps the others as well, were aghast, she added: "I could have thought of a better way--if I had intended to steal it," as though she had absent-mindedly not remembered that it was on her wrist.
My instincts about sociopaths are keen.
I've had plenty of experience with these disgusting people.
Nothing else much happened. We traveled together to our destination, and nothing more was said of the incident.
However--even though I was armed with an understanding of this woman--she managed to borrow some money from me--money that I had spent all day, in downtown Lucknow, exchanging. Such is the manipulative power of sociopaths. I worried for two days that she would not pay me back. She did--finally. I don't know why.
After that, I distanced myself and my wife from her and never saw her again.
Some such people that we encounter in foreign countries can be dangerous.
