First example of prerelease overhype more accurately
People thought it would be insane and it was trash
What if you threw a coup and no one was willing to kill for it
Forgot about the Peruvian coup from 2 years back
decades of brutal repression by the Assad regime finally exploded in the early 2010s. for a few simple examples, read about the Syrian Mukhabarat or what happened to Hama in 1982
can't believe the Iranian ally would verbally support the Iranian ally
