One, they’re worried about how China and Iran could use Russian technology to beef up their military capabilities, and threaten their — or their allies’ — defence assets around the world.
Well duh.
Two, there’s deep concern about what such steps say about the Kremlin’s frame of mind. Russia had in the past heavily guarded its military advances, especially from potential future rivals such as China. Trading its knowledge now is seen by some as sign of increased recklessness.
Recklessness? To increase the military capabilities of the enemies of the world's most reckless superpower?

This normalises the idea that there was something crooked about the extremely well observed and very robust and modern election system. The point is to con gullible stupid people to soften them up for future violent actions by the US, aswell as to intimidate Venezuelans. It's far from nothing.

I've been thinking a bit about the similarities in settler based cultures lately. The commonalities with Israelis, Northern Irish "loyalists/unionists" and Americans is amazing. They all have the same extreme paranoia and racist supremacy. Absolutely assured of their righteous place as being better and above others. Machismo and a rugged individualism. Triumphalism, ultraviolence, callous inhumanity, over the top flag waving right-nationalism.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall for some of the conversations they have with their kids to teach them their culture of hate. How they pass the message of hate and bigotry down about their superiority.

I like to think that I have a decent grasp of the world, particularly as a Marxist. But sometimes I really struggle to get into the settler cultural mindset. I don't want to read Settlers at this point in time because I'm already depressed and angry enough. I just can't believe how quickly all of this became normal.

And many looming pension crises in western countries. This is all very unstable and unsustainable. Costs rising everywhere, minimum wage not increasing at all (in the US). Something's got to give.
"Liberalism manifests itself in various ways. To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism."
>Coveney says he hasn’t heard any negative feedback from senior decision-makers in business relating to Ireland’s position on Gaza. This line is unintentionally hilarious!
He and his right-hand man Ousmane Sonko have an anti-colonial stance and want to pull out of the CFA Franc. France was recently expelled from Niger, and now there is a new blow coming.
I was especially taken by Ho Chi Minh's quote from On revolutionary morality and thought it would be great to have a comm for discussion on each of these. It's not something I'd like to run but is anyone else interested?
![](https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/816f6270-765d-4ce7-bda1-683f7c1f3cfd.png) One theory I've heard about the accelerating of the worsening conditions of western proletariat is that the USSR used to provide a bulwark against things getting too bad. People would point at the USSR and the illusion that capitalism was better for individual prosperity would collapse in comparison. Then, with the USSR gone things have been deteriorating for the past ~30 years. If that is true, even somewhat, why haven't we seen a similar effect from China's example? Is the theory simply wrong? Maybe western capitalism is just unable to even offer scraps from the table at this point. Maybe people are unaware of how things are in China? Could we dare to expect that China's example will force a lifting of the boot from our necks?
"Only China is an arguable peer of the United States, only China’s technological and industrial might can hope to match our own, and only China has the capacity to project power globally as well as regionally." "China offers a somewhat coherent ideological alternative to the liberal-democratic order." "China’s one-party meritocracy can advertise itself (...) as a successor to democratic capitalism, an alternative model for the developing world." "The establishment of Chinese military pre-eminence in East Asia would be a unique geopolitical shock, with dire effects on the viability of America’s alliance systems (...) and on our ability to maintain the global trading system that undergirds our prosperity at home."
"He does not make short-term decisions based on some current situation." He assesses the situation, analyzes and looks to the future. This is very important, it is what separates a real world leader from the people we call temporary workers who come for five minutes to show themselves on an international platform and also disappear unnoticed. President Xi Jinping is a completely different person. He is a thorough, calm, but businesslike and reliable partner. If we agree something with him, we can be sure that the agreement will be fulfilled, both on one side and on the other."
I wasn't sure where to post this, world news it isn't, so here seems to be a good catch-all comm. It's a collection of speculations and theories surrounding the war in Palestine and its possible origins.
