Russia is outsourcing sabotage to petty criminals in Europe. I speak with Russia expert Professor Mark Galeotti, about the rise of geocriminality: a form of low-cost, deniable warfare targeting democracies from within. #Russia #Geocriminality #MarkGaleotti #HybridWarfare #UkraineWar  #Democracy

South Korea's president Yoon Suk-yeol has been removed from office. This is a victory for democracy and the rule of law, you can't attempt a coup and expect to stay in office. He's likely to continue the unfortunate tradition among South Korean presidents of going to prison after his term.
