Depend on the agreement between the Overlord and the vassal.

An overlord can agree to join the vassal in all war, in offensive war only, in defensive war only, or none at all.

Likewise, an overlord can demand the same from the vassal, to join in all war the Overlord participate in, or only in either offensive or defensive war, or none at all.

You can see on the war demand page if declaring war on an empire would drag someone else into the war on their side or not.

I never expected the Syrian army to fall this quickly, but it didn’t look good in the first place.

Back when they were fighting back, the bull of the fighting force that didn’t come from Iran were formerly pretty active paramilitary groups that were incorporated into the Syrian army. After these fighter served full term in the army and got discharged, they joined up with other paramilitary or mercenaries groups, such as Hezbollah or Wagner group.

Now that practically every experience fighters on Assad’s side are busy elsewhere, the entire forces on Assad’s side are pretty much underequipped conscripted troops that have neither the skill, experiences, equipments, nor the morale close to what the previous generation of fighters processes. Now add the fact the rebel groups are unsubtly support by the Yank et.al., and…well, you can do the rest of the math yourself.

What a compact fighter.

That have the same energy as “He’s a vegan in every single way excluding not eathing animal products.”

The west seem to unable to comprehent that people of Southeast Asia aren’t interest in any SEATO style treaty (yes, they tried this before) so much that the formation of ASEAN were made with the sheer, explicit intend of not being a SEATO-style treaty to prevent the kind of disaster that happened back during the Cold War.

Good bot. [pet the bot]

Hell, they even destroyed more Russian artillery than ever build since WWII.

Nukes have such unique detonation characteristic that it’s quite hard to hide, especially since we have tons of eyes on the whole area for decades. While I would not be surprise if this is real, I’d want more concrete evident first that it’s actually a nuke and not simply salt the ground with U-235 (for some reasons).

Done.

My bad. I pretty much turn it off after the first part talk about how the user name usually is “in the western world”, assuming it would be the same talking point I’ve seen so many gods damn times throughout the community.

…and that’s what happened when you judge a book by its cover.

Well…what do you expected would happened when the defending side effectively announced that a huge chunk of the reserve that would have been reinforcing the frontline suddenly weren’t there anymore.

Sea launch is such an interesting yet surprisingly underdeveloped area of space industries. I’m glad the concept seem to finally get off the ground.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is “Duchau” referring to?

“Freah UA [male reproductive organ shape?]”?

Someone took “thesis defense” a bit too far.

[I think I reuse this image a lot lately.]

Couldn’t they have just attached these arresting wires? Or maybe the Elizabeth class carriers aren’t long enough?

They would also need aircraft catapults alongside those wires to operate the C-variant of F-35. Even then, QE-class is certainly long enough to have both. As shown in size comparison below, QE-class is 20000 tons heavier and at least 20 meters longer than Fr*nch’s Charles de Gaulle-class, which is a STOBAR carrier.

As to why QE-class didn’t have those stuffs? As you could probably guess, budget cut.

…and my earlier answer to your question was “indiscriminately”.

I’m glad you didn’t add the twist lol.

Indiscriminately

[grab a PPSh with lethal intend]

This read more like a “increase defense budget plz” than a serious strategic analysis.
