Every one tries to make friends with the new government of Syria (assuming there is one). There have already been statements from Assad's allies )Iraqi militia leaders, Iran and Russia) expressing interest in diplomacy.

I'm not optimistic, but the future isn't certain either.

Fighting is as much about morale as it is about numbers and equipment. Morale was low and sunk lower after the anti-Assad militants had big successes, things snow balled from there.

All the allies who helped Syria last time are stretched thin by Israel (Iran, Hezbollah), have bigger concerns (Russia), or otherwise 'saw the writing on the wall' given the situation with Syria's other allies (Iraqi militias).

For Israel's part, they've bombed key targets in Syria during the last year.

We live in a dark timeline. The resistance Axis wasn't as strong as we thought and the Israel has proven more ruthless (and uncle Sam has an endless willingness to arm them). It's not over though. It took decades for the Vietnamese to win against the imperialists.

Critical support doesn't require DPRK et al. to be "real socialism" etc.

Are they trying to get people to like Russia? Lmao

Edit: USSR should've been sending shooters against shitty bosses or execs

For me no but it is a guideline for how I see and construct/conduct all facets of my identity

To help us understand your question more what is your primary identity then?

Something that guides all facets of yourself would seem primary, but for you it isn't primary. Since it isn't, knowing what is primary and why would inform your question

making spreadsheets in a cubicle? unthinkable

When did they start drug testing white collar workers?

I agree. But better than the sheer nepotism and money that guides US admissions.

Based and multipolarity pilled

 

I haven't finished it yet, but I can't remember the last time I've seen a CGTN video arguing an explicitly ideological position.

Their rationale :

We focus our boycotts on a small number of companies and products for maximum impact. We focus on companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where we think we can have an impact.

I'm sympathetic to this rationale. If you actually want a mass of people to participate in a boycott, it can't be a laundry list of products.

We know the heads of Marxism are usually Marx, Engels and Lenin, often plus Stalin and Mao.

But who would be the five heads of revolutionary liberalism (before it became a totally bankrupt, anti-emancipatory, status quo project)?

My suggestion: John Locke, Thomas Paine, Robespierre, Toussaint, & Simon Bolivar

Also considered: Oliver Cromwell and Garibaldi

 

Not sure what to make of this

 

Brilliant move both not attending Netanyahu's speech and issuing this statement both-sides

 

I like Draper's 1967 essay Who’s going to be the lesser-evil in 1968? but I think its dated references can be alienating to some people (even though the datedness of it kinda reinforces its argument).

 

“In response to these crimes … the missile force and the naval force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint military operation targeting the American aircraft carrier Eisenhower in the Red Sea,” the movement’s military spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said.

“The operation was carried out with a number of winged and ballistic missiles, and the hit was accurate and direct,” he added.

"An unprecedented 146 opposition members of parliament of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have been suspended for the rest of the winter session.  Apart from the ‘loyal’ opposition MPs belonging to parties like the BJD, YSRCP and AIADMK, there will be no opposition MPs left in either house by December 22."

I figure with the possibility of the wars heating up, now would a good time to prepare lit/resources to demoralize military memebers and give advice on how to get out early.

Any one got any materials or links related to this?

Edit: found this which might be useful for legal avenues of quitting early
