Should kick all Russian diplomats out of EU as long as they continue interfering in our elections, when are the centrist and left wing politicians going to wake up to the information warfare being inflicted upon them via propaganda and bullshit, which they are seriously losing, it's time to take some drastic action and step one should be booting all these Russian officials out of EU.

Assad's forces have retreated from Hama...Probably ahead of expectations...One more city (Homs) and Assad/Damascus will be cut off from Russia's major bases in Syria. This is really showing just how weak Assad's hold on the country was without Russia there to protect him. Russia was bombing rebels in Hama yesterday but it hasn't slowed them down. If Assad falls then those Russian bases will be next.

Let's do it!

According to Minusrus.com, 1580 Russian personnel have given up the ghost yesterday for a total of 748,950. And 13 tanks as well as 21 artillery have been destroyed.

North Korean Troops in russia Are Starving in Kursk Region.

Let them eat cake?
Seriously though, this service of the North Koreans isn't working out well, and will only contribute to easy deaths and equipment losses if this is true.

Tbf I bet they were starving in North Korea too.

Wtf? Can't be true, is Assad planning a final stand at Damascus and will rely on Iran to save his ass? Homs falls and Assad is cut off from Russia's Syrian bases. Assad is looking scared to consolidate all his forces into Damascus.

News channel related to the rebel forces are reporting that the SAA has left the city of Salamiyah and the city is currently controlled by residents who are now in close contact with rebel forces to hand over control.

Salamiyah is full of Ismailis, which should be ideologically opposed to HTS and yet...

This feels like a complete rejection of Assad's regime.

Rebels are in Talbiseh, with Hama and Salamiyah they have two routes into Homs.

How long until Russia abandons Assad? They have bases still manned and firing at HTS.

This is a complete disaster for Assad and Russia if this continues at this rate.

Actually it is well known that any food deliveries to North Korea are routed to the military first and foremost.

Gotta keep your soldiers well-fed is one of the first rules for dictators trying to stay on top (of the food chain as well in the case of Kim, just by looking at him).
