Fun fact: 80% of South Koreans are against supplying weapons to Ukraine. They must be thinking that Russian-NK alliance is something that will go away by itself, you just need to ignore them and, as they say, avoid escalation.

Let's just hope that Kim will not be remembered in history books as Kim Jong Boom

Romania’s constitutional court has annulled the first round of the presidential election after Russian interference. Good precendent to follow. I hope they will follow it with the arrest of the candidate who cooperated with a hostile foreign power on the charges of treason

I would like to see some additional information on that.
It seems somewhat inaccurate or incomplete to me.
South Korea has a ton of outdated equipment...

Darn, RIP to my hopes that Iran and Russia will stuck in Syria diverting resources from the Ukrainian front. Instead they fled Syria freeing those resources.

Still very happy for Syrians even if it will still be a blood mess in the following years: Turkish influence, Islamists, Kurdish and Druze seperatism, Assad's regime remaints, shiites, Hezbollah (I wonder if this advance would be possible if Hezbollah didn't waste its military potential on an unwinnable war vs Israel) and more

How? They won't be popular with whatever new government(s) and naval\air bases are useless if there are hostile ground forces around

Hmmm... Might the Syrian navy go the way of the Bolivian navy?

The rebels taking over the country have already said that Russians will still be welcome in Syria, even while they were being bombed by Russian airaplanes, so don't get your hopes up yet.
It would be nice if they lost their Tartus naval base, it is the only place in the Mediterranean where Russian warships can go.

Syria's over, evidently.

An entire country fell in the time it took me and a couple friends to play three maps in LFD2.

How quickly did it take for Afghanistan to fall after Biden withdrew the troops? Perhaps these rapid collapses are typical for middle eastern regimes that are propped up entirely by foreign governments?

[hector13]

I thought it was a bit longer than this.
