Joulani is harder to control than FSA remnants though. he's gonna chip away at them at every opportunity. should he succeed, then he'll try to set the terms of the relationship with Turkey. we can't look into his head, so we don't know what exactly he's after, but he'll definitely monopolize military & financial support

I think the HTS is a better proxy to have, they are more violent and reckless which is good to unleash upon enemies I don't think jolani has too much area to manuever either, considering he is in our zoo and we know his whereabouts at all times

The European Commission has shifted responsibility for restricting transit to Kaliningrad to Lithuania "Since Lithuania has begun to implement sanctions in this way, it means that they should be interpreted in this way," European Commission spokesman Eric Mamer is quoted by the media as saying.
Leftist ex-rebel Gustavo Petro wins Colombian presidency in narrow, historic election
>Former rebel Gustavo Petro narrowly won a runoff election over a political outsider millionaire Sunday, ushering in a new era of politics for Colombia by becoming the country's first leftist president. Petro, a senator in his third attempt to win the presidency, had 50.47 per cent of the votes, while real estate magnate Rodolfo Hernandez had 47.27 per cent, with almost all ballots counted, according to results released by election authorities. Petro's victory underlined a drastic change in presidential politics for a country that has long marginalized the left for its perceived association with the armed conflict. "Today is a day of celebration for the people. Let them celebrate the first popular victory," Petro tweeted. "May so many sufferings be cushioned in the joy that today floods the heart of the Homeland." Petro was once a rebel with the now-defunct M-19 movement and was granted amnesty after being jailed for his involvement with the group.
>Petro has proposed ambitious pension, tax, health and agricultural reforms and changes to how Colombia fights drug cartels and other armed groups. He obtained 40 per cent of the votes during last month's election and Hernandez 28 per cent, but the difference quickly narrowed as Hernandez began to attract so-called anti-Petrista voters. Petro will have a tough time delivering on his promises as he does not have a majority in Congress, which is key to carrying out reforms. In recent legislative elections, Petro's political movement won 20 seats in the Senate, a plurality, but he would still have to make concessions in negotiations with other parties.
The dude was a terminator watching, bus driving, nazbol version of Adolf Hitler in the making No way xoxols got to him, it was Russian deepstate (who is committed to never allowing for anyone but themselves decide who rules Russia since Gorbachev yeltsin thingy happened) Medvedev will succeed munkovich and both of (you)s VVILL like it

Novorossiya is his trial by fire, no doom will come to Rossiya other than what already would have on ascension. If he does not succeed, Kadyrov will have grounds to assert his superiority.
Funny how the lithuanian mfa stated that they were just implementing the sanctions as mandated by the EU
Carter Cook
Zelensky was an idiot for believing that Russians could be reasoned with.
Grayson Reed
>Kadyrov will have grounds to assert his superiority. only in the Caucasus, which would be a significant threat nonetheless because of the resources that would be denied to Russia
Charles Sullivan
Just imagine the things we'd do to malakas if Russia attacks Lithuania (where I am 100% certain that nato will get cucked and it will consequently result in inaction)

EU-NATO can barely afford the ammunition for Ukraine, let alone another front
