I'm wondering:

- with #Assads fall, will the malian, nigerian, burkinabe, central-african tinpot dictators feel that #Putin is not such a reliable protector against their enemies, be it jihadists or their own population?

- while some people - among which the USA but also others - are pushing for #Ukraine to negociate its partial capitulation to Putin's expensionism, will the recent turn things lately took in #Syria weaken Putin (or #Russia ) regarding any hypothetical negociation?

#Assad

🦉 A three-decades-old mystery is over: the Golden Owl has been discovered.
Somehow, it is a bit sad: there was something rather poetic in the thought that the treasure and its mysteries hadn't been uncovered and were to remain hidden forever...
But all good things come to an end!
Congrats to whoever found the key to the decades-long brain-teaser.

Currently watching the opening ceremony of the Paralympic games:

Wondering through which alphabetical miracle does "Corée du Nord" (🇰🇵 ) is NOT right before "Corée du Sud" (🇰🇷 )?

And they keep telling us that no, absolutely not, "sport in not political"...!

(I guess it was the same during the Olympic ceremony, I can't imagine North Korea putting its prisoners-athletes on the same boat as the South-Korean delegation...)
