Yeah, I mean, they're in a tough spot. As much as I would've loved to see him nabbed and flown to the Hague, I understand why Mongolia isn't going to put itself in a major diplomatic and economic crisis just for a pat on the head by Western powers.

After seeing what Western "support" did to Afghanistan and how long it takes to get anything to Ukraine, it's not surprising. The West is barely able to provide the minimum for Ukraine and they are on the same continent. If Russia turned its sights on Mongolia, they'd be fucked.

How the hell would the Mongols to fend off the Russians? How would supplies from Western allies even reach them? Fly through Russian airspace over the polar circle? Fly through Russia? Through Kazakhstan?
