A bit of history and a map: "The Mexican War (1846-1848)".
When #LosAngeles, #SanFrancisco and #SanDiego were (de verdad) Mexican towns...

Russia will conduct a large-scale war exercise "West-2025" on Belarusian territory in September 2025.
If the invasion of Ukraine fails to achieve its strategic objectives by that time, Putin could annex Belarus before proceeding westward and invading the Baltic states (NATO).

December, 2024, sine ira et studio: What alternative for the Syrian state after the failure of the Syrian Arab Republic (SAR)?
Yesterday, I proposed a map about the establishment of an Islamic State in Syria. Since the new Syrian central government is controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an Islamic militant group whose main objective is to create an Islamic state in Syria, the cartographic choice seems rational for yesterday....
Now, a new map of Syria after Assad, with a less known subject: Türkmeneli and the (Syrian) Turkmen secessionist temptation...
Well, the map speaks for itself, but I'll just add 2-3 lines for a non-Turkish audience:
The Syrian Turkmen live in an area that they call “Türkmeneli” (“Turkmenia” in English), which means, “Land of the Turkmen.”
The Turkmen are Turkic groups with a unique cultural heritage and linguistic, historical, and cultural links with the surrounding Turkic groups such as those in Türkiye and Azerbaijan. Their spoken language is closer to Azeri (the national language in Azerbaijan - n.b.), but their official written language is similar to the Turkish used in present-day Türkiye.
According to an Azeri news agency (AXAR), although Türkiye has repeatedly declared that it recognizes Syria's sovereignty, there are claims that Ankara will come up with its plan if Syria is divided. In this context, some representatives of the Turkmen from Syria and Iraq called for the establishment of the Turkmen Republic in the area starting from Aleppo and ending in Mandali (Iraq).

Connaissez-vous l’île Märket et sa frontière zarbi ?
Longue de 300 mètres, cette île de la Mer Baltique est la seconde plus petite île traversée par une limite. Et si la frontière finno-suédoise 🇫🇮🇸🇪 a ici cette forme étrange, c’est à cause d’une erreur !
