The great thing about being a Banderite is history treating you as a useful idiot twice.

Zero surprise if the Ukrainian weapons black markets all have facebook pages

Yeah, I don’t mean for Zelenskyy himself; there’s no way for him to hold onto power. He can only become more unpopular. The maximalist charade to look powerful in front of the Banderites isn’t going to play out well for him, and the longer he stays in office the more likely he’ll get killed in a coup. If he capitulates, the Banderites will likely keep their promise to hang him. I’m not holding my breath, but if Zelenskyy cares at all about saving human lives he should do it now.

Just wait until they join BRICS+ and try to leave NATO…

It’s the title of the video.

My point is that there’s been a lot of internal friction between the military and the ruling political parties, which have produced civil wars and military coups already. I think there’s already a tension about a potential coup, but the risk to political legitimacy is huge if not done cleanly. Dismissing his entire war cabinet probably speaks to that.

Hasbara would probably be a lot more effective if they knew how to shut the fuck up whenever they have a genocide boner

Allowing the seized 300 billion be used for concessions (with conditions that it be used to rebuild civilian infrastructure) might be a good deal since the US is going to look to keep it anyway. But I’m not sure who would be trustworthy, effective guarantors for Ukraine neutrality at this point.

I think we all agree at this point that holding out for better negotiating terms will only result in a weaker position and worse outcome for Ukraine. Zelenskyy needs to wake up and start peace talks immediately.

That article goes pretty hard. It’s been slow, but more msm are calling this what it is. I really hope popping that narrative can force significant western deescalation. I’m not sure what else can at this point.

Who had “Isn’treal finally coming out as a nuclear power” on their 2024 bingo card?

Hungary coming in with 83/14 there certainly explains Orbans surprise visit today

Seems like Isn’treal is spread too thin and they are afraid of fighting on two fronts

State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel says the US does not want to see Hamas being the “governing authority” in Gaza.

“We have been pretty clear also that we do not want to see Hamas in charge of Gaza any more,” Patel said, speaking to reporters.

This is something that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken “laid out last fall when talking about certain principles that the United States views as nonstarters when we’re talking about the day after this conflict ends”, Patel said. source

Sooooo… How, exactly, will you get rid of Hamas? Oh.

Someone pitch DeSantis the idea to move Capitol Hill to Miami. Or maybe the everglades.

That’s my opinion as well.

Yeah, I agree it doesn’t change much materially. My take is being that this is a line goes up metric for western countries, it does show a widening fracture between the US policy narrative (esp. sanctions) and the emergent multipolar reality.

It’s pretty ironic watching zionazi riot cops beat Haredi jews in Jerusalem

I mean…

1. Bolivia denounced Israeli war crimes and severed their diplomatic connections
2. Bolivia is not on Team Ukraine
3. Bolivia is friendly and doing good trade with Russia and China
4. Bolivia is sitting on a LOT of lithium, which is basically the new oil
5. Bolivia is the coup capital of the modern world
6. AMLO, Putin and a number of others have called it an attempted coup

Getting couped seems like the most likely thing to happen. Weird stuff indeed.
