181·12 days agoI would love to be wrong about this, trust me. I want to believe that this was just a fluke, a poorly calculated decision that will only hurt the US in the long term, and nothing more.
But for the time being, I’m just being a doomer, so that I won’t be so emotionally devastated in the potential event of Venezuela losing and having its oil fields ending up under the full control of the US.
So the only theory that would seemingly make sense now is that the Venezuelan Military (who had months of preparation) got jumped in a surprise attack and had their president kidnapped in a tight operation coordinated by the US.
If that is what actually happened, then oh BOY do I feel very doubtful of their ability to defend themselves in the event of total US Invasion, the only way I can see them making up for it is if they manage to turn it around in their favor like what Iran did in the twelve-day war.
Trump says Machado will NOT be the leader of Venezuela!!!
Just hours before U.S. strikes on Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro met with Qiu Xiaoqi, China’s special envoy for Latin America.
The talks reaffirmed bilateral partnership and reviewed existing agreements, providing an opportunity to assess how the Trump regime’s pressure campaign against Venezuela affects Chinese interests in the region.
One clear objective of the Trump regime has been to push China out of Venezuela. The meeting may have included discussions on guarantees for Chinese investments in the event of U.S. actions—making the envoy’s visit notably timely.
At the same time, the meeting likely heightened pressure on Caracas, as the Trump regime views China’s engagement with regional governments as a highly sensitive issue.
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is calling bull on this.
❗️Reports by Associated Press regarding alleged ‘evacuation’ of the Russian Embassy in Venezuela @EmbajadaRusaVen are simply put — A LIE.
Be careful and don’t fall for Western provocations!

Could you show the source or the channel of where you got this quote from? Because the only other places I see this being stated elsewhere are unsourced twitter posts, with one being from almost 24 hours ago as of this writing, with no reports on whether Pakistan actually occupies 10% of Afghanistan’s territory at the moment.
Here’s the map in question that people are claiming that Pakistan itself supposedly released.
Also, I imagine an escalation such as having 10% of a west asian country’s territory physically occupied by another within a few days (if true) would be massive fucking news that all the major news outlets and the broader internet would be immediately reporting on and not remain known to a small group of people for hours on end.
Until new information comes forward, showing definitive proof of Pakistan occupying 10% of Afghanistan, I’m writing this off as just a false and made-up claim.
The Israelis aren’t too happy about Trump’s reponse.
“How desperate is Trump for a Nobel Prize on a scale from one to tweeting this nonsense?” — News of Israel.
“President Trump calls on Israel to stop the attacks in the Gaza Strip, he has fallen into the trap of Hamas statement." — Israeli Channel 14.
“Trump sold Israel for a Nobel candidacy.” — Yino News on Channel 14.
“This is completely crazy. Trump states: Israel must stop bombing Gaza immediately. Hamas is ready for peace based on the response they gave us.” — Israeli Channel 12.
“For the first time since the start of the war, the US does not accept the principle of negotiating under fire.” — Yaron Avraham of Israeli Channel 12.
“We were always alone.” — Hillel Biton Rosen of Israeli Channel 14
“The tables have turned on us.” — Hadashot.
“The state’s leadership remains silent after Trump’s response.” — Ma’ariv.
“After Netanyahu succeeded in introducing amendments to the Trump plan, the Arab states achieve a new tactical victory, and this plan as a whole is turned into a state of radical change. Trump distorts the reputation of Israel, which cannot currently say that Hamas’s response is unacceptable to it.” — Israeli Channel 11.
Apparently, even officials close to Netanyahu are saying that he was ‘surprised’ by Trump’s response.
6·3 months agoThe thumbnail of the first video is just clickbait, with the conclusion at the end of the video being that Trotsky wasn’t right or completely vindicated about everything and that Trotsky and Stalin both used the history of the Soviet Union as a weapon for political and ideological orthodoxy.
Here’s the transcript of that conclusion
Now, am I trying to argue that Trotsky was right about everything after all and is completely politically vindicated? No, not at all. Rather, this is just an illustrative example of how in the 1920s, Soviet history itself was one of the key weapons wielded in the battle for political and ideological orthodoxy. As the ongoing historiography series will illustrate, Stalin cultivated a certain historical narrative that was favorable to himself and his goals. Well, Trotsky did the same. In the former’s case, a considerable industry emerged of party committees, government departments, press outlets, even entertainment. The school of falsification, if you will, which wrote and rewrote the history of the revolution. This school censored or suppressed certain pieces of evidence, canonizing one interpretation to the detriment of others, and in the process worked to cement Stalin’s position as the school’s leading professor.
We are in very dire straits, so much so that the government shutdown timer on whitehouse.gov is counting up.

He’s speaking now.
It’s a struggle for me, I know as I’ve had to take breaks for weeks at a time from this site and reading the news in general so that I wouldn’t fall into complete despair, and I’ve had my gripes with those who participate in that type of behavior.
I apologize for only contributing to the problem and bringing down the mood, I try to keep my emotions at bay and keep to a baseline of simply waiting and seeing how the situation develops, and I try not to burden others when I do fall into bouts of despair and keep it to myself, but there are some events and some days, where I just to scream into the void, where I just want to crawl into a hole and never come out and wish that I wasn’t a communist so that I didn’t have to experience the pain of seeing a better world becoming ever more further from reach.
I’ll try to be better about it.
