Resist Fascism

All while AfricaCorps abuses local women and smuggles out gold in massive quantities.

I didn’t realize there were substantial sugar plantations in the US. Even so I imagine imports will be necessary to meet quotas. And corn farmers will lose business.

When you’ve got both Armenia and Azerbaijan turning against you, you know you messed up somewhere…

These lives are a cheap for them to pay for all the gold they’ve been smuggling out. And they’ll get more now that the military junta has fully established itself as a dictatorship

3 Scenarios That Explain the Epstein Debacle All reflect poorly on the Department of Justice.

COLUMN: Why is the DOJ botching the Epstein saga?

“The possibilities range from bad to worse” — especially for what they suggest about the country’s legal leadership, writes former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori.

Europe has blinders on as usual

Sadly a necessary step. Many things would need to change before relations can normalize

Nothing compares to what Wagner have done to Sudan and the Sahel. Like the girls in CAR…

Which one is coming for Russia first 👀

The kremlins decision making is erratic. Can’t tell if this is high level strategy or if they are unraveling

Don’t think these numbers mean much to the kremlin anymore. Especially since they’re supplementing heavily with foreign mercenaries and NK troops. Unless there’s damage in Moscow/St Petersburg, there won’t be any serious shift in public opinion about the war

One big step could’ve been to intervene in Sudan, where Libya is backing the RSF and smuggling out gold with the help of Wagner, and further increasing their stranglehold over the migrant corridors. But the world is blind to Sudan since US/EU aren’t directly involved.

wtf how old is this kid? Are they recruiting from schools now?

I understand why poor people from India and China sign up for this ( even they get scammed) but why would Americans go willingly

Jeez the American markup is crazy…

Hmm yeah that checks out. Still curious about what these pricing models look like. I gotta wonder how it compares to European manufacturers like Dassault or Saab

Just me or do US weapons systems seem overpriced? Even though they’re top tier.

Some find her controversial but I’ve always enjoyed her work on the Mughal periods. She handles Indian social historiography in an honest but elegant way rather than just blindly cater to the major camps of indology/orientalism vs Marxian. I look forward to reading this new book

This is a very tenuous relationship between these countries. No fondness amongst the citizens. And some big egos at the top. But the fact that they’re here at the table is already groundbreaking. If they can come away with something substantial it will be rly good for the region’s future

This is also “America First” right? The US govt complained about Chinese students as a security risk, is Russian oligarchs (I.e. warlords) buying up property here less risky than that?

Yeah letting Russian oligarchs buy up American land is definitely “America First”…

Libya is unable/unwilling to tackle the issue of the migration corridor between Libya, Sudan, and Egypt. It’s a valuable smuggling route for people and goods, including ill gotten gold from Sudan and greater Sahel - which is what Libya, Wagner, KSA all covet, and their reason for backing RSF terror

It’s already happened. Earlier this yr there were cases of ppl who pretended to be ice officers and proceeded to assault women. I recall one case in North Carolina and another in Brooklyn. And that was before this all really even kicked off. I imagine it only gets worse

This surprises no one. The question is, will anything be done about it?

Musk is just a newcomer. The kremlin has been waging a disinfo war on Europe for more than a decade. And only now has Europe even started talking about the issue, despite already having good cyber regulations like GDPR. By the time EU is rdy for action they’ll be issuing the orders in Russian

Does Europe not understand that it is at war? All of it, not Ukraine? Bc Russia does. Russians believe they’re at war with all Europe not Ukraine, and for Putin this is a campaign against all Europe. Only Europe seems not to realize.

Fixing the veto system in the EU would be a start. One Putin puppet in orban can somehow derail every European decision. And NATO needs to change, or maybe even be scrapped. Europe can’t trust the US anymore

I’d say the pimps are a more appropriate parallel. The ones who take all the profit but none of the risk or liability

Sounds like they’re cannibalizing. The space at the top is getting smaller and smaller. Inevitable when the mafia needs funds but the only ones with any money are the dons themselves.
