Life in the Hermit Kingdom of N. Korea, OR IS IT?
Raptorpat replied to discolé monade's topic in Current Events
We never did. After WWII, control of Korea was divided similar to Germany. NK invaded SK and the UN authorized an international force led by MacArthur to push NK back. The UN resolution wasn't vetoed because the USSR was boycotting and China's security council seat was still held by Taiwan. The peacekeeping force also arguably overstepped it's bounds, by nearly reunifying the peninsula (rather than simply reestablishing the border), and so then China jumped in and the conflict stalemated practically where it started. -

My understanding is that Wagner's only strategic use is assault and have no ability to defend territory after gaining it. So basically they're in "not my problem, we did our job" mode.

I fixed that too

Wagner is claiming it finally finished capturing the remains of Bakhmut, after like eight months of grinding.

Yesterday woulda been my seven-day streaks but it never even occured to me to play because I worked from home and broke my normal routine, super annoying.

they seem very adamant that this is the character's last outing and that no one else will be cast in the roll. the real question is whether this is intended to tee up a 'successor' protagonist to keep the franchise alive the way George Lucas tried to tease Mutt at the end of KotCS.

Robert Garcia filed a motion to expel George Santos from Congress, I don't know the procedural details but McCarty has to act apparently and he's gonna route it into the Ethics Committee rather than a floor vote. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/16/house-gop-santos-expulsion-00097216 -
