when is isil going to conquer russia

[Kalahari Inkantation]

speaking of which, i really wish wikipedia would update maps of ongoing territorial conflict on a more regular basis

the current map of the isis was last updated three weeks ago

ukraine's seems to be updated at more frequent intervals (or at least the secondary maps do), but the primary map it uses to denote """novorossiya""" territory is two days from being a month old

yep, so this is how it ends for ukraine

after the us/uk/france veto this proposal at the speed of sound, expect russia to go along with it anyway while maniacally shrieking 'IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ KOSOVO KOSOVO KOSOVO' as loudly and as frequently as it can, every agonizing femtometer of the way
