International Politics

I was watching this Navy counterterrorism guy talk about the Russian Navy's bug out of Syria. He said with how quickly things developed those ships didn't get a lot of advance notice. He said it's not like starting a car you need a lot of preparation for a warship before it leaves port. He said he wouldn't be surprised if Russia's Navy is stuck floating out in the Mediterranean because they don't have the fuel or supplies to get all the way back to Kaliningrad.

The counterterrorism guy said Putin basically gave away Syria, Africa and parts of Kursk for a summer offensive that gained him mostly small towns, villages and tree lines.



Edit:
The other part he reiterated was Israel's part in this. If it wasn't for October 7th and Israel's response, Hamas and Iran wouldn't have been weakened to cause the Syria collapse.

Last edit:
He closed by saying Russia should know that military defeat is the handmaiden of political change.
