Not to mention that if this mobilization happens and they actually get training, Ukraine should have some beefy weapons like the M1, Leopard 1 and 2, along with a bunch of armored transports. . . . . . it's basically a slaughter house running into that weaponry

The whole 2019 HongKong protests were sparked by an extradition case, by the way.

HongKong wanted to extradite a HongKongese man from Taiwan (murdered his girlfriend).

HK Lawmakers drafted a extradition bill that would allow extradition between HK, China, and Taiwan.

People did not like that.

They should just turn off the ventilation in those prisons. It’s gonna get really hot really quick.

That should be bukele’s hidden card against the gangs.

Party politics definitely matters for some things, but when it comes to how the US acts in the Middle East and North Africa... there is less of a distinction. I think the last time there was real policy divergence was probably under the Bush (W) admin, where I think a Democrat in the same position would have been unlikely to invade Iraq. The drone program for example has been equally popular under Republican and Democrat administrations, and has only ever increased over time.

For someone in the region affected, the difference between a Bush or an Obama is probably thin enough to strangle on.
