[quote=@Keyguyperson] The Syrian Civil War is pretty much confirmed, since the whole incident with the Russian aircraft is still a thing. Given Russia's slightly more aggressive foreign policy here, I doubt that Ukraine has calmed down much either. As a side note, there's already some amount of cooperation between Russia and China through BRICS, so it's worth mentioning that Russia might be interested in adding some military treaties to it, since it also involves India AKA the country that could pull a Soviet Union-level Zerg rush thanks to its population. [/quote] I thought about addressing the BRICS in my talk with Dmitry and Vladimir, but I decided that not mentioning it would be better. Besides, if I were to invite Brazil into my Moscow Pact you could end up with the US getting angered because they would have a large enemy in the Americas. I want to scare NATO, not start a war with it (Yet) [quote=@Milkman] I have a question. Are current raging conflicts like the Ukrainian crisis and the Syrian civil war still going on? [/quote] Both are still going on, along with Boko Haram and the other rebel groups all around the world occupying territory.
