  • Fears grow that Trump will strike Iran after US moves ‘armada’ to Middle East

    Jump

  • USreal couldn't destroy Iran through a coup so now they're bringing in artillery.

  • Ukraine's Zelenskyy says his repeated warnings to Europe feel like 'Groundhog Day'

    Jump

  • Fair enough. Most people with that opinion don't know about them, or about Ukraine in general or their civil war at all. Just going back to 2013 borders wouldn't solve anything, especially considering the number of Ukrainians that defected to the Russian side. It would just be an even more divided country.

  • What's your favourite historical photo and why?

    Jump

  • Great post and I really enjoyed the replies. Mine is of Chavez visiting Castro in 2006 in Havanna, as Castro was dying of cancer. Both men were imprisoned for a failed coup but later rose to power (Chavez democratically and Castro by revolutionary liberation of the country), and both men died in a hospital bed in their respective countries in 2013.

  • As this is a cultural artifact I'm sure there are many ways of interpreting it, but I thought tankies were the people who think it's right to suppress imperial-backed anti-democratic coups by any means necessary, and that it originated from the events of the Hungarian Revolution.

  • What about Israel? Should it be "destroyed" as well?

  • That would be nice, but what about the Minsk agreements? Just ignore them? Could they even be implemented at this stage?

  • Democrats will allow full ICE funding in budget bill

    Jump

  • I get that, for some baffling reason, you're defending Democrats, but their other option is to reject funding and cause another government shutdown. That could be combined with the current general strike (by extending it past the Jan 30 deadline to get the government funded) to bring the whole country to a complete halt unless ICE gets the fuck out, Trump and Noem impeached / locked up, or whatever other demands the people have of their government. This would be a fantastic use of political power to enable democratic expression and improve the lives of millions of people! That being said, there's no way the Democrats will do that. Instead, they support the Republican efforts.

  • This topic has come up a lot (not least from Cory Doctorow). The fact that the rich are both so fragile and so un-creative is why they love AI, especially the sycophantic variants. They can't handle someone saying no to them or, apparently, an accurate description of the past that isn't completely flattering to them. Let them work in food services, lol.

  • What does a win for Ukraine look like to you? Just wondering.

    And btw, from an outsider perspective it's funny and cringe to see the attacks on your comment. I'm afraid those commenters don't have wherewithal to be as embarrassed as they should be, but it's a good point, that Ukraine has gotten a lot more outside funding (about $380 bn) than the USSR did to defeat Germany in WWII (about $250 bn in today's $). I hadn't noticed that.

  • Strikes don’t end until demands are met.

    They usually end when Democrats fold, like the rail strike of 2022 or the more recent government shutdown. The demands don't get met.
