Bolivia? Why the heck would they want to attract the ire of the US. All of Latam, even Venezuela is staying on the friendly side of Washington. This is the first time since WW2 that we've had a clear conventional state vs state war between good and evil - you don't want to be on the wrong side when the dust settles.

Because Bolivia was drunk at the time. Dont blame them it was so ridiculous they thought it was carnaval again. First court of law rumba girls and boys will be in the stands swinging and working their pom poms.
 
Nice! Now, how about those Polish MiG-29s from April?

in Ukraine since mid of May. Polish MOD just announced surprise deal with KAI related FA-50 in block 20 standard delivery
 
Nice, someone will need to update this wiki section.
Look to the bottom of the page and find the "last edited" link.
There's an "edit war" going on.
Typically wiki contributors have "nicks", but whoever keeps changing the information is only identified by an IP address, which makes it pretty obvious as to whom is altering the info.

The window for that has closed. The national mood is firmly anti Russian. Certainly Zelenskyy can be killed, but Ukraine isn't a Russian-like autocracy or dictatorship - there is no metaphorical head of the snake to cut off. Ukraine has a functioning democratic government. Ruslan Stefanchuk, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliamentary body, and a close ally of Zelenskyy would take office if Zelenskyy was unable to perform his duties, with limited powers as "acting president" until a new election is conducted. If both these guys die, then Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal will administer the state until the President and chairman are replaced. There is an established succession process - no Russian puppet is getting in again - 2014's expulsion of Putin's man Viktor Yanukovych saw to that.

And Zelenskyy has just removed a bunch of pro Putin deputies who probably hoped they could grab his job with Putin's support
 
Guaranteed that China is watching how this is playing out.

They're still lusting after Taiwan, but with Russia taking a beating and Ukraine being supported by most of the world, they're going to need to update/rethink their risk assessment.
If China expands its support of Russia it's only a matter of time before Ukraine joins the seventeen nations (plus the Vatican) that formally recognize Taiwan. In fact there could be a wave of such action worldwide.

I've read quite a few articles reporting on how the Taiwanese, too, are watching this unfold, with an eye to learning how to repel a Chinese invasion.
