  4. Aww Botox Dobbie been spreading himself too thin I see…..

  5. Weird how poor oppressed Russia that is just minding its own business and trying to survive against NATO needs bases all over the world and can afford to station troops everywhere.

  8. “Reinforce” with what? Your whole military is fighting in ukr-

    Wait, is that why the North Koreans are now fighting more openly in Ukraine in the last week?

    Because Putin had to transfer his professionals over to Libya now?

  9. Russia scramble? That’s about the only thing they are consistent on. Disorganized inepitude.

  10. The Libyan base are just one heart beat away from being gone.

  12. Do they have anything left to scramble at this point besides old WW1 equipment lol

  13. Only to be ousted again by turkish backed forces in the near Future.

  15. There’s a lot of NK soldiers who aren’t busy

  16. Delusions of grandeur. Doesn’t Putler understand he can’t have a champagne geopolitical footprint with a beer budget? Dude’s going broke.

  17. This makes sense. Syria and Libya are two crucial refueling and logistics hubs for Russia’s African operations. Losing Syria is a blow for Russia but if they lose both Libya and Syria it could be devastating for their power projection abilities and cut off the flow of precious metals and minerals that they extract from Africa.

    The rapid fall of Assad’s regime is also a warning sign to Russia that they really don’t have good intelligence. They famously thought Ukraine wouldn’t resist and they also didn’t see the rebel offensive coming in Syria. Ukraine has been working with groups in the Middle East and Africa to counter Russian influence and while Libya may look safe in the moment I’m sure Russia doesn’t want to be caught off guard again.

  20. Sure would be a shame if a bunch of sea mines showed up if Putler tries to keep that naval base.

  21. This is why it made sense to support Urkraine in their war against Russia. The failed state loses countries it props up because it has already so much poured into and so much lost in their conflict. Their resources are getting so limited they cannot support their own global interests.
