How the hell do you think Russia is gearing up for invading other nations when the USA out spends it by an order of magnitude and already has 600+ military bases on foreign soil.
Y'all are really delusional. Russia doesn't have any ability to launch another invasion and the CIA has continuously assessed that Russia has neither the means nor the intention to take and hold Ukraine.

Lol. You have GOT to be talking about the USA here, right? Talk about corruption-riddled military. The USA spends more on military then the next 11 countries combined and it can't produce artillery shells at the same rate as Russia can under embargo.
Look at the cost of the modern fighter jet program and it's barely functioning. Look at the cost PER MISSILE of the systems they sold to Ukraine and Israel. The USA is the quintessential example of corrupt military industry in the world.

I would say that by the very nature of it being nukes it was exceptional. Like, the very definition of exceptional. Yes, the USA often bombs instead of negotiating, that is not exceptional.

Are you saying that using nukes against civilian populations was equivalent to conventional bombing because of "the damage"? What point are you trying to make here?

Well said and agreed on the direction you're pointing us towards. Not sure I agree on exact implementation details, but I also haven't thought about it too much. Thanks for speaking up. Keep doing it

You have to have it until you come to the realization that Marxists are capable of engaging with information in ways that liberals are not. Marxists can, and indeed must, draw information from across the political spectrum in order to meet the requirements of material analysis. Cutting off an information stream due to ideology harms, rather than benefits, the ability of Marxist's to analyze what's going on in the world.

I wish we didn't talk about it like this. AIPAC doesn't control these people. These people want the same thing AIPAC wants.

The black music scene is relatively opaque. There has long been speculation that black music has been an area of influence for political actors to influence the apartheid regime. There's a relatively recent interview wherein an artist claims that the lyrics and song selections were steered towards violent crime by record company execs who had large financial interests in the prison system. The drug trade, that the CIA relies on so heavily, has a strong dependency on the apartheid regime and the behaviors of ghettoized subcultures.
I agree, it's not the same situation as Epstein, but between the compramat factory, the murders, the constant references to Illuminati, etc, and now suicide watch, it reads a lot like a long running op.

I am pretty certain they need him dead. The allegations, including a monitoring room of the entire mansion and lots of compramat seems a lot like he's a black Epstein, an asset for the CIA. They probably will kill him

The outset of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale war in Ukraine exposed Russia’s ground forces as incompetently led and beholden to a tyrant in thrall to his own arrogance and neoimperial ambitions. The ensuing stalemate, now well into its third year, has been a strategic calamity for Moscow.

I think the US will absolutely attempt it. I don't think Taiwan will agree to it.

The US would have to get some true psychotics into Taiwanese leadership for them to agree to hosting nukes.

This guy is the researcher cited: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/seas/people/academic-staff/david-tobin At first glance, he seems somewhat legit, but I've never heard of him before. What do we know about this guy, his research, and what's the best way to understand these claims? cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/863212 > cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/863209 > > > Archived version: https://archive.ph/5Ok1c > > Archived version: https://web.archive.org/web/20230731013125/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-66337328
I've been working my way through the Decolonized Buffalo episodes in order and over the last few weeks every time I update my feeds I get a network error when fetching the list of episodes.
This is truly a wild analysis. It's entirely plausible that Black rock owns the longs and Citadel owns the shorts and that they collaborate. But just the circular ownership leading to total dominance of the market by a few hundred people is enough to make this worth reading.
Supposedly the largest in history. Inching ever closer to nuclear war.
This feels like an op to me. The timing is uncanny. If this story develops, I predict some escalation of current conflicts with some advanced weaponry (chemical, biological, nuclear, energy, space-based, etc) and the alien story to be used as cover. Alternatively, it's a continuation of reactionary mobilization propaganda. Thought?
Anyone got any more insight into this? Hypersonics are supposed to be a significant advantage for both Russia and China. If the West has a counter for these, that seems real bad.
What do you all think of this?
