An axiom Dodik is about to discover: the number of people happy to profit from your corrupt arrangements is larger than the number of people willing to take risks to defend you.

🚨 Bosnian Serb entity president Milorad Dodik was just declared guilty for directly opposing the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina and for not respecting the decisions of High Representative Christian Schmidt.
The Trump camp has had a habit of bulldozing through complex Balkan issues with little regard for their immense sensitivity.

Today, Rudy Giuliani is in Bosnia, interviewing Putin-loving nationalist politician Milorad Dodik—just ahead of a verdict that could sideline him from politics for a decade.

It's amazing how authoritarian regimes that have been in place for years can so suddenly be driven from power. The horrors they inflict are real, but their stability is ultimately an illusion.

#Syria's rebuilding is a mind-bogging task.
Factories are in ruins, the economy doesn't work, apart from telecommunications. The regime lived on cash transfers and on revenues from from Captagon. The political economy of recovery is going to be key.

Yes person on the internet Syrians are aware that everything isn’t perfect and that there are challenges ahead. I think they didn’t need you to tell them that given that it’s been 5 decades of tyranny and no country ever emerged from tyranny without challenges ahead.
