Just looking at how its shook out over history
Nguyễn Văn Thiệu in south Vietnam escaped his country, settled in Boston and lived quietly for 40 years and died of natural causes
Ngô Đình Diệm didn't fare so well and like Malopox said, caught a CIA bullet during their coup
Pepe San Roman who led the bay of pigs invasion was captured and imprisoned, but released by Castro a year later and settled in Miami and lived quietly for 30 years and died of suicide
Lon Nol who we backed in Cambodia, escaped the Khmer Rouge and settled in Fullerton California and lived quietly for 5 years and died of natural causes
Osama Bin Laden, who we backed in Afghanistan OOOooooohhhhhhh right
Anastasio Somoza Debayle fled the Sandinistas and escaped to Miami with a lot of Nicaragua's national treasures, but Carter denied him asylum and he settled in Paraguay and was assassinated a year later
Hamid Karzai and his family still live in Kabul and the Taliban respect him enough, while Ashraf Ghani fled during the fall to Uzbekistan and settled in Dubai and has been there since

I think its far more likely Zelensky settles in the west somewhere. Russia isn't about to storm Kiev and take him by surprise, and while there's a strong potential for a power vacuum after US support dries up that results in a coup by Banderites seizing control, even in that scenario its more likely Zelensky survives to flee to the west and starts driving ubers in Philly.

Also, the Russians apparently lost their naval base in syria

This link seems to talk about commercial port of Tartus which was used for phosphate exports and dissolution of commercial contract with STG-Engineering.

Naval base is the northern-most part of Tartus port and there is no mention of it in the link? Should be a big piece of news if it’s true, but can’t verify it against non-propaganda sources.

I agree with this.

Russia has fought a 3 year war and won. To the victor go the spoils. Ukraine should be thankful if they do not get forcibly annexed as a Russian Federation oblast, and simply remain a vassal state with self-governance.

Its not apparently, its confirmed. Next stop Libya for Russian war ships.

Putins war leading to the collapse of Russian influence at its periphery.
Barely any Russian divisions in the far north to counter Finland and Swedens bolstered NATO presence.
Russia's security guarantees to both Syria and Armenia completely worthless; Key ally Iran battered into insignificance.
Convoys of Russian paramilitaries ambushed and slaughtered in Africa.

Everythings coming up millhouse for Vlad. You fuck about and you find out.



Lmao, height of copium.

The entire war for Russia is a military catasrophe of unmatched significance in this century.

Again, lies, lies and more lies. Boris Johnson would be proud of you.

If anything - Kazan summit was a solid proof that Russian influence is very much there. Brokering truce between India and China was quite a significant breakthrough.

Russia did not have significant military presence in the north for almost 70 years due to Finnish neutrality. Now - because of NATO actions - Russia will station missiles and point them to Finnish cities and airbases. Leningrad Military District was reestablished last year.

I’m not aware of security guarantees that Russia had with Syria. Are you sure you are not imagining things again?

Armenia is another wierd take. They had a security guarantee under CSTO which explicitly excluded Artsakh. Pashinyan did not call on this guarantee.

Calling Iran “battered into insignificance” is rich for a guy who’s country robbed Iranians of their wealth and profited off them for half a century.

I understand times are pretty tough for NAFO crowd as we are hopefully at the end of this one, but please keep coming back here and entertaining us with your latest cope takes.

Whats with NAFO obsession lol?

I thought it was because he overstepped his US-given mandate and started terrorizing Buddhists

It's clear Ukraine doesn't have the means to take back the lost territories despite all Western help and Zelensky has admitted this.

The war is lost, it's over. Russia keeps making steady gains and throwing more Ukrainians at it means more unnecessary casualties.

Anyone with a lick of common sense understands this and I'm glad Trump is one of them.
