Hi OP. This sub is for history questions: there's a "no current events" rule against discussing anything from the last 20 years. So, if you're interested in the present, you might try x-posting to /r/geopolitics or another international or regional sub.

Meanwhile, I've approved this post for /r/AskHistorians, but on the condition that answerers confine themselves to pre-1998 only.

Thanks

Ok, thanks
