Image, sourced from this article, is of George Bush in 2002 meeting with María Corina Machado, who was even then being trained as a figure to oppose Venezuelan socialism, and very briefly succeeded with the Carmona Decree. Now the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, she has begged the Zionist entity to drop bombs on the Venezuelan people.
As of me writing these sentences, it appears that the ceasefire in Gaza is underway. Zionist ceasefires are, of course, an oxymoron - not only in the grand sense that their work to continue genocidal atrocities against others locally and regionally will not cease until the Zionist entity’s occupation of Palestine is overthrown and Palestinians can resume the governance of their territory - but also in the literal sense; that bombings and shootings are often only merely reduced, and rarely cease entirely (as was/is the case on their northern border with Lebanon). Nonetheless, hopefully the population can receive some aid, and the long process of rebuilding can begin.
On the other side of the world, it seems increasingly likely that a new war is set to begin. Because the US is eschewing the usual process of generating pro-war propaganda and casus bellis (aside from a laughably transparent Nobel Peace Prize award) and seems content to just skip straight to the “bomb and depose” step, it’s quite hard to predict what precisely they want to do. Anything seems to be on the table - from freely striking Venezuelan territory where “drug dealers” are to try and prompt a Venezuelan response, to assassinating Maduro and/or his generals and hoping a power vacuum can be filled with compradors, to attempting to outright invade Venezuela and establish direct American control over important government sites. All appear to be possibilities, though as of right now, the most drastic measures seem unlikely due to their difficulty.
We know that the US has almost totally abandoned diplomatic communication with Venezuela, and that the US has deployed warships, a nuclear submarine, F-35s, surveillance planes, and at least 4,000 military personnel to the Caribbean, with some sources putting the numbers higher. Some people have suggested that the point is to try and force Maduro into a situation where he must begin hostilities, or be seen as weak and perhaps overthrown from within. It is at least encouraging that Maduro is not like Allende in Chile, and is taking this situation extraordinarily seriously; the masses are being trained and mobilized in the event of an invasion, and military drills are ongoing. Venezuela has no real capacity to stop the US from attacking and bombing them, but it is much more possible to prevent a West-friendly puppet from gaining meaningful control of the country. A comprador might be able to make a brief statement or decree in a Venezuelan city saying that Chavismo is over, but actual power will hopefully prove very elusive.
2020, and particularly 2022, has clearly become a turning point for the Western imperial system, in which increasingly aggressive and reckless moves are required to keep the system functional (stability is, at this point, out of the question). Unfortunately, this has also resulted in the deaths of many long-lasting, inspiring figures, such as Nasrallah, and many more will certainly die before the empire collapses. If Maduro is assassinated - and I’m having trouble imagining how he won’t be doggedly pursued in the days. weeks, and months to come - I have hope that a successor will rise to continue to lead the Bolivarian Revolution.

Sucks that children can’t have that anymore
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov, and other delegates are heading to Washington DC, USA this Friday, to discuss (with government officials, energy and most notably US defence companies) “air defense and our long-range capabilities aimed at exerting pressure on Russia for the sake of peace.” In other words, Tomahawk cruise missiles. (And potentially other weapons, but Tomahawk will be the main discussion point due to it’s unmatched range of over 1600km/1000mi)
Co-incidentally today, Oshkosh has revealed a Ground-Based Tomahawk Launcher, called X-MAV, that can launch 4 Tomahawk BGM-109 cruise missiles per truck.
Two points here: This illustrates that it’s not a significant engineering challenge for the US military industrial complex to mount 4 launch cells to a truck, trailer or shipping container; even if Ukraine doesn’t get X-MAV, there are alternatives. Secondly: 4 cruise missiles per ground launch vehicle is actually a lot in the context of the Ukraine - Russia war. 1 Russian Tu-95 bomber can carry 8 Kh-101 cruise missiles maximum (all externally), and 1 Russian missile corvette in the Black Sea can launch 8 Kalibr cruise missiles. So you only need two trucks/trailers/containers to match the maximum loadout of a Russian Tu-95 bomber or warship. Three to match a Tu-160 bomber, which carries 12 Kh-101 internally (rarely used). Obviously strategic bombers and missile corvettes have a much wider use case outside of the constraints of the Ukraine-Russia war, but in the context of this war, you only need 2 trucks to match one’s combat capabilities.
The threat these advanced low flying cruise missiles is significant. This is a completely different threat to the crude Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo or even Ukraine’s upgraded Kh-35/Neptune cruise missiles (the latter have caused significant losses, most notably the sinking of the Moskva), which is why Ukraine wants them so badly, and why Russia is quite concerned.
To defend Moscow from all angles against Tomahawks and the AGM-86, the USSR in the 1980s calculated that they would need a ring of 56 S-300P batteries, (That’s 168 launch vehicles, 672 surface to air missiles, 56 fire control radars, 56 low altitude surveillance radars, 14 command posts and 14 long range surveillance radars). Accompanied by mobile Tor air defence systems, and the inclusion of look down-shoot down capability in the radar of the MiG-31 (MiG-25 did not have this) to “thin the herd” of cruise missiles beforehand. And this was just to defend Moscow, which still has an impressive air defence ring to this day. Obviously not every facility can have such protection. While Russia did manage to shoot down Tomahawks over Syria, the actual number was insignificant. Now air defence systems have advanced significantly since the 1980s, and Russia is vastly more defended than Syria. But if (big if) Ukraine gets Tomahawks, some will get through and hit targets, just like ATACMS and Strom Shadow/SCALP-EG previously. And mission planning will be done by or heavily assisted by US military staff. Russia will probably respond with more actions towards Europe if this happens.
Interesting. US military Tomahawk operators and maintainers are required to have a Top Secret clearance, so it would absolutely be US troops doing everything up to pushing the “Fire” button
Nuclear-capable US-satellite-guided terrain-hugging super-long-range cruise missiles. I mean, where else would you draw a red line? My jaw will drop if this does come to pass.
It would be probably the most significant geopolitical escalation in modern history, surpassing even the Cuban Missile Crisis, in my opinion.
Modern variants of the BGM-109 haven’t been nuclear capable for over a decade. There’s zero chance Ukraine gets nuclear armed Tomahawks. Russia fires conventional Kh-101s, Kinzhals and Iskander-Ms at Ukraine (which all have nuclear capable variants currently in service) weekly. I think all the talk of nuclear capable missiles is completely overblown on both sides.
The real big thing Tomahawks offer in navigation is Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC) and Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) navigation. The first Tomahawks were operational before GPS/satellite navigation was, and relied on this to navigate. DSMAC compares images from its optical sensors with those stored in memory, taken from spy satellites and converted to the perspective of a low flying cruise missile. TERCOM uses an altimeter to measure the altitude of the missile and compared it to stored topographical data. Modern Tomahawk variants combine this with satellite navigation, and this is why these missiles can be accurate in GPS denied environments, and can hug the terrain very effectively. It’s also why US military assets will be very involved in any potential mission planning. This is the big issue that can’t be ignored. Who is actually firing the missiles, if all the mission planning is done by the United States?
Modern Tomahawks probably can do “GPS only” missions, so that’s an option, but I doubt that it would be used in such a scenario.
Firing standoff weapons provided by a third party against a nuclear armed nation happened earlier this year, India fired plenty of Israeli and French/British made missiles at Pakistan, and hit plenty of targets. Pakistan fired a few Chinese made missiles at India, didn’t hit much in comparison. (This is about ground targets, Pakistan shot down a number of Indian fighter aircraft). The stability-instability paradox may no longer be relevant with such modern weapons. States may be perfectly fine with firing conventionally armed standoff weapons directly against a nuclear power and escalating despite the risk of nuclear conflict. Iran did so twice towards Israel last year, but backed down after Israeli attacks in response. “Standoff wars” may be a new variable that hasn’t been accounted for adequately in doctrine and statecraft.
*Turkish Missile Crisis
So what will Russia respond with? Nukes? Are we all gonna die? 0.0
Highly doubt any nuclear response. Escalation against Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania, or one way attack drones/cruise missiles towards Poland? Maybe. Russia has already flown MiG 31s in Estonian airspace and flown drones made of styrofoam with no warhead over Poland.
There are still many escalation options short of nuclear weapons. In that case of nuclear escalation it could be a tactical nuke in a non-NATO country. Make some tea you’re going to sit through much more of this
This seems like a massive escalation for no advantage that opens up a lot of risk of Russia flattening significant portions of western Ukraine in retaliation.
The advantage would be hitting key manufacturing sites, and all of these actions must be seen in the context of threat reduction both in Ukraine and a hypothetical NATO-Russia land war in Europe, as this is what NATO is thinking. Ukraine is not going to waste Tomahawks on random sheds in Russia (like the US does in the Middle East). For instance, the “target” that there’s a lot of noise about is the Alabuga Geran/Shahed one way attack drone manufacturing facility in Tatarstan. Destroying that would put a large dent in Russia’s drone production, reducing the amount of one way attack drones in over Ukraine, and the size of the stockpile Russia can build up against Europe (in theory). Apply the same theory to missile production, air defence production, fighter jets, etc. This is what NATO planners are thinking about. To bring Russia to the “negotiation table”. They know Ukraine is unlikely to take back ground currently, so this is the card they might play.
As for a hypothetical Russian response, what was Russia’s response to having over 10 Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers being destroyed? That was a big attack by Ukraine. Russia doesn’t have air superiority over western or central Ukraine, launching attacks require on that part of Ukraine requires one way attack drones, cruise and ballistic missiles. Standoff weapons. Russia has been carrying out such attacks for over three years, a big one usually involves hundreds of one way attack drones and dozens of cruise and ballistic missiles. Russia can’t turn Lviv or Kiev into 2022 Mariupol. The Russian ability to respond directly to Ukraine is limited. Which is why I think that they’ll look to respond outside of Ukraine if they respond, there are more options available.
will russia strike their plane over atlantic or continue cuck any% run 🤔
If decapitation strikes won wars then there wouldn’t be any wars.
they do certainly help, and usa pursues them for some reason
As does Israel. Certainly slowed down Hezbollah and Iran for a bit there.
I think such a move would be largely symbolic and such moves are avoided by both sides for good reason, they don’t want to open “Pandora’s box” of civil leadership strikes. Zelenskyy is not going to push the big red button to launch the missiles cold war movie style, and the chances of him being replaced by a pro Russian leader are slim to none in the event he’s assassinated by Russia. If anything, Ukraine would be even more anti Russia and such a move would fail to establish deterrence.
(a) he absolutely would lmao, and the feasibility of that is approaching (b) the networks of corruption run through yermak, by all ukrainian accounts, that would take time to reestablish © that implies ukrainians like z-man, they don’t (d) ukraine, even now, operates as a state, with some laws and procedures still applying, especially as related to mobilization.
Republican House weirdo Mike Johnson is still keeping the House in recess and saying that the Dems in the Senate should pass his “clean” funding bill. At least for now, extending extra extra ACA subsidies is still not on the table, as Republicans still believe that the Dems will surrender.
Eurovision Song Contest organiser calls off Israel vote
Eurovision Song Contest organisers will no longer vote on Israel’s participation in the competition following Middle East “developments”, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) says.
Eurovision has faced controversy linked to Israel’s war on Gaza, and several countries pledged to withdraw from the event if Israeli contestants took part.
“The Board agreed to put the issue on the agenda of its ordinary Winter General Assembly, which will be taking place in December,” instead of the extraordinary meeting that had been slated to take place online in November, an EBU statement said.
Whatever fate europeans end up inflicting on themselves, they deserve worse.

Europe is basically saying that if the Nazis in 1943 said: “That is enough for now, lets give this war business a rest for a while”, that would be perfectly acceptable.

Maybe I’m very late to this and maybe what I’m about to say is obvious, but has anyone else been thinking that the massive mobilization of ICE is a way for the state to integrate the fascist gangs/militias/paramilitaries like Proud Boys, Patriot Front, et al. into the security services in a similar manner to what happened in Ukraine with their fascist groups? They’re obviously the “target audience” for the recruitment drives and it feels like we haven’t heard from those groups in some time, especially since you’d expect them to show up in defence of ICE at the counter-ICE rallies. It’s also possible that these people could move “laterally” into other agencies once they have their foot in the door via ICE mass recruitment, then we’d really be seeing something similar to Ukraine. Just some things I’ve been thinking about after watching this translated documentary about Ukraine’s “decentralized totalitarianism” (the author disparages the original use of the term to conflate fascism and communism, but he feels it’s descriptive in a post-Maidan context) and how every imperialist frontier is a labratory for the future, and was curious about what the newsmega crowd thought.
Of course! Both israel and especially ukraine are blueprints of the re-fascisization of western society and measures of social control
we’ve long been saying it. We’re not making Ukraine “more democratic”. Ukraine is making us more explicitly fascist. The ukrainification of Europe is well underway
LMAO at the idea that Ukraine is making the US more fascist. Its like saying the Polish made Nazi Germany more fascist. Ukraine is a testbed for US (and European) fascism.
The American populace is not even 50% as fascist as the Ukrainian populace. We have a ton of people of color here, immigrants, urban populace that hates the government but can’t do anything about it. Ukraine doesn’t have any of that. Everybody who was anti-Nazi left years ago, either to Russia or to Europe.
To be clear, this is mostly the fault of American psychological operations, propaganda and the putting into power rightwing elements in Ukraine. It’s not something unique to the Ukrainian character, just a reality of Operation Aerodynamic and the Maidan. It’s more acute there, but ultimately, they are a pawn of the real imperialists.
It makes sense if you agree with Aimé Césaire’s argument that fascism is colonialism turned inwards to the metropole.
What the empire does in Ukraine it will do to itself soon enough
Ironic how so many did deny the danger Ukraine poses.
why do you care so much about the “nazis” that’s just Putin propaganda
We care because they don’t. The very fact of them being willing to overlook nazism for political expediency is a major red flag and warning. We care because those nazis will get infinite good press, weaponry, training and funds and freedom to set up their own drug and trafficking networks throughout europe. We care because their nazism will corrupt the supporters of it.
Agreed, the moment I realized that yeah libs weren’t immediately turned off associating with azov nazis, was the moment I knew fascism is locked in now.
how every imperialist frontier is a labratory for the future
It truly is except USAmericans have no Russia to denazify them by force. I do believe that Trump will be the vehicle for the ruling class to obtain their domestic fascist militias in preparation for the mass climate change migration (the current migratory corridors will look minuscule compared to 5-20 years down the line). Once the fascist thugs become part of the American civil society it will be impossible for any progressive reformer from within the system to take them out.
To add to that. I do think that the american ruling elite is preparing to get rid of its „sickly“ „excess“ population and reduce wages.
100%. The massive mobilization of ICE, its giant budget, etc, is a way for Trump and co to have a fascist paramilitary arm operating directly under the purview of the executive, without all the strings attached with going through the FBI or the DoD or CIA. ICE are basically the Brownshirts, the internal police force answerable directly to the executive, given broad and vague powers and vast hardware to directly carry out their will.

Up to 700 people attend pro-Palestine protest in Tallinn, Estonia
The protest comes as Estonian support for Palestine finally exceeds that of Israel.
11/10/25
On the weekend, hundreds of people marched in the capital of Estonia. The protest was titled “Wake up, Estonia – a genocide is taking place in Gaza!”, with its primary demands being the immediate recognition of the Palestinian state and the genocide in Gaza. The protest was organised by the Noorte Palestiina Liikumine (Youth Palestine Movement) and Palestonia, with a significant Noorsots (Young Socialists, youth wing of the Social-Democrats) presence.
The protestors marched from Freedom Square through the old town and then to the Riigikogu (parliament). An Estonian rendition of Bella Ciao was performed right in the centre of the old town.

Photo: protestors heading towards the Riigikogu
The protest coincided with a poll by the Estonian public research institute, Ühiskonnauuringute Instituut, which showed around 18% of Estonians support Palestine compared to the 16% that support the Israelis, though 44% of people preferred Estonia not take a side and 22% simply didn’t know. In October 2023, support for Palestine was around 5% and 29% for Israel, meaning support for Palestine has more than tripled increasing by more than 13 points while support for Israel has more than halved, decreasing by the same amount, 13 points.
The results are as follows:
Support Palestine – 18% [+13%]
Support Israel – 16% [-13%]
Support neither – 44% [+6%]
Don’t know – 22% [-7%]
The poll also showed support for the recognition of the Palestinian state among Estonians being 34%, compared to 32% being in opposition and 35% not knowing. The highest backing for the recognition of Palestine was found among Social-Democrats and Centre Party supporters, 51% and 47% respectively, while the highest opposition to a recognition being among Rightwingers (name of a party), Fatherland and EKRE.
The protest comes as Estonian support for Palestine finally exceeds that of Israel.
Nazi country finally decides it has enough of this particular genocide.
That’s 3.5% of Estonia’s population
wait how come esti skirted by recognition of palestine? or did they de-recognize it?
They didn’t reaffirm their recognition inherited from the soviet union. All three Baltic chihuahuas of course did growl the loudest at the empire’s to demonstrate their loyalty the moment they became independent.
And if China cuts off rare earth metals to em this will further hurt several industries… Including the very chip company you just seized
the end of white supremacist hegemony can’t come soon enough, these people need to be humiliated
China has perpetrated the first genocide that created no physical evidence. Everywhere else people are still dealing with the pesky problems of easily discovered mass graves.
The way they pretend to have learned not to oppress people after colonialism ended while still benefitting from neocolonialism will always infuriate me.
the end of white supremacist hegemony can’t come soon enough, these people need to be humiliated
These are the same people crying about “white genocide” btw.
Wish their whining about it would speak it into existence. Crakkkers when their people don’t want to have 3+ kids anymore: “this is literally genocide btw”

Pale architect of your own delusion: the gilded spires of your so called civilization rise not from virtue, but from the marrow of slaughtered nations, the blood of stolen lands, and the silent screams of those your ancestors deemed unworthy of breath. Your banks? They are temples to a greed older than your republic vaults lined with the bones of the dispossessed. Your “free trade”? A velvet noose, draped in the language of liberty while strangling the life from continents you carved like spoils. Do not prattle to me or to any who have gazed into the abyss of history about morality while your hands drip with the legacy of empire. You cloak your plunder in hymns of democracy, yet your foundations tremble with the weight of unburied ghosts. And now you dare point fingers across oceans, as if your ledger were clean? China, or any power that rises in your shadow, need not your hollow sermons. Turn your gaze inward, little man. Confront the specters in your own halls. The oppressed, the erased, the living echoes of your conquests. Only then might you shed your nursery tales of innocence and glimpse the world as it truly is: not a fairy tale, but a feeding ground. And when you finally stop humming lullabies to drown out the truth… perhaps you’ll be ready to speak as an adult and not a child clutching a flag stitched from lies.

40% of employees are reporting wasting an average of 2 hours at a time cleaning up AI-generated workslop, per CNN
This isn’t just annoying for whoever’s receiving the workslop — it actually costs companies money. Employees reported spending an average of nearly two hours dealing with each instance of workslop. Researchers calculated, based on participants’ self-reported salaries, that these incidents amount to an “invisible tax” of $186 per month. For a company with 10,000 people, they estimated workslop costs more than $9 million a year in lost productivity.
Confirming. This is ruining my life. I hate it. I have to look over other people’s work and the second I can tell it’s written with AI my day is ruined. It saved them an hour of writing at the cost of my two hours of reviewing and climatological devastation. Deeply stupid bullshit to be doing, especially in the environmental field
Same, but in fucking railway safety shit
The not-Nobel prize in economics was awarded to - as far as I can tell - three turbo neoliberals. From what I can quickly gather, their work is centered on how “creative destruction” makes everyone better off. A lot of claptrap about how much wealthier “we” are than compared to past centuries. All keeping in line with the massive western chauvinism of the award, because while the western world is better off, plenty of data shows most folks in the global south outside of China and Vietnam (I.e. those who suffer under capitalist, post-colonial hegemony) are most definitely NOT better off.
This and the Nobel peace prize really makes it feel like the European elites are trying to double down on neoliberalism while it’s getting slowly dismantled by forces both internal and external.
It was about muh „innovation“ rising due to „a society openness to change“, typical word salad to reaffirm EU policyslop.
I glanced at a few articles and bios, and the whole premise was very “some cultures are just so much more predisposed to being more innovative” couched in academic terms.
I’ve seen a few stories of this nature lately, seems like Russia has disconnected the znpp from the ukrainian power grid
I suspect they will reconnect it to the Russian grid at some point as it is dangerous to have only local power available for cooling
Gotta take stories like this coming from Ukrainian propaganda outlets with a huge grain of salt. It’s just as likely that Ukraine disconnected it.
This seems like a big invitation to Ukraine and random rogue groups to try and destroy its backup generators and cause an international nuclear incident in the hopes that this galvanizes Ukrainian allies to send troops to Ukraine. Bad decision.
Its not like they havent been trying to sabotage it for years at this point

Harborne’s lawyers did not give substantive answers to questions about why he went on the trip to Ukraine, beyond saying they “appear to have little to no basis in reality”. But there are possible clues in the leaked files.
The itinerary features a “closed meeting at the military-tech R&D centre”. It does not say whether Harborne attended, but this is an area he knows well. While his position as the largest shareholder in QinetiQ, with 13%, does not give him a role in the day-to-day running of the privatised research unit of the UK armed forces, his financial stake in its operations is significant. QinetiQ has interests in Ukraine, albeit not its biggest. Ukraine’s forces reportedly use the company’s Banshee drones and bomb-disposal robots. In April 2025, the UK Ministry of Defence announced QinetiQ would help Ukraine’s military make kit with 3D printers.
QinetiQ … the privatised research unit of the UK armed forces

TRUMP: " I think I’m not maybe heaven bound … I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to make heaven."
This could have been an amazing line for a villain in a spaghetti western once he’d been mortally wounded.
I’m thinking of, like, the white evangelical who reacts very emotionally to this like “Nnooooooo mr trump you’re a great person you’ll make it to heaven”
They’re not emotional because they think good people go to heaven, they’re emotional because their most fundamental belief is that every nominal Christian goes to heaven no matter how rancid a piece of shit they are. The idea that the kind of life a person chooses to live could result in them not going to heaven is a direct threat to Evangelicals’ belief in their own salvation.
