Most other countries do not have HOAs. In Finland where I live, municipalities can enact ordinances to limit what you can do on your property, but they are often very limited if they exist at all.
The most restrictive ones that I know limit the type of house that can be built (eg. no flat roofs, although this can be a zoning issue as well), the color of the houses and other similar limitations.
I'll take my socialdemocrat "hell hole" of a country over the "free" USA with HOAs any time.
I wouldn't say that. He is the ultimate opportunist. Playing both sides. Selling arms to Ukraine. Member of NATO. Bought Russian air defence stations. Taking money from Russian tourists who can't travel elsewhere. etc.
It seems EA / Respawn have begun another little ban wave.
Linux / Steam Deck players are getting caught in it.
Hopefully the bans will once again be overturned.
Perceptions matter. Even if the West is supplying the arms. It is still West Africans doing the deed.
It would be a colonial intervention if Western militaries invaded the country and deposed the junta. That would be a whole different situation. It wasn't that long ago when Western powers would routinely do this. Or fund dictators to get rid of democratically elected officials. So, progress?
That is "Kill them all and let God sort them out."-level of stupid.
