TheFinnishBolshevik has done an excellent and well-sourced series on the Hungarian uprising : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbnLysSug0vS6GirUcyM-53gm0T6f0Kc0

You can find a bunch of good books to read about it in his video descriptions.

Is that Mao Zedong masquerading as a grandma worker, standing next to proletariat Hugh Laurie?

What that says in reality is: “I’d rather burn the world in nuclear fire than lose the elections to Trump”

Lol. I hope I didn’t reinvent a story!

On a serious note:

• The incoming missile sounds hypersonic (probably a JDAM) which is definitely not something that Hamas could construct or has fired before.

• The speed and straight trajectory of the projectile from videos suggests that it’s nigh impossible to have been a misfire.

• IDF and Israeli spokespeople had wildly different stories after the strike, trying to shift the blame to Hamas, suggesting they all knew it was Israel who fired that rocket, and it probably did it intentionally, but they hadn’t gotten their stories straight. Most glaring example, is the IDF video supposingly showing the Hamas rockets being fired over the hospital, and the video was timestamped 40 minutes AFTER the strike had occured at the hospital (if it was on the same day even). They then immediately deleted it as soon as they got caught. Another example is an Israeli official claiming that Israel had targeted the hospital because Hamas had used its roof to fire rockets.

You don’t need to be an expert to figure out what’s going on here:

a) Israel is a murderous apartheid regime and this is something they have done before.

b) Israel has wiped up its population in a murderous frenzy, and they need to satiate it.

c) Israel has been dragging its heels on its fabled ground invasion of Gaza, with various excuses. It knows that it can’t beat Hamas on the ground, and it has been warned by Hezbollah against invading. It wouldn’t surprise me if they used this strike to satisfy their people politically, and then tell them that the US forced them to a ceasefire over this incident.

I have an ending for you. After the CIA’s last attempt almost kills Lois Lane, the president intervenes and stops the CIA. Clark goes to the White House to thank him. The president asks him for a little favpur in return, to help protect the US. Clark agrees. The president gives him his first assignement. Head over to a country and do something despicable, that Clark has previously uncovered that the US was lying about the subject all along.

They were puppets, largely because of the cold war. In a similar way, Greece was a puppet to the West too.

Your question is in bad faith and loaded to boot. Nobody has to answer you. You have invited ridicule.

How far are you? By season 3 I found the main character’s resistance to actually resisting capitalism was becoming annoying.

Here you go comrade

I try to do that as often as possible, but it’s draining.

FinnishBolshevik on Youtube did an extensive series on the Moscow Trials, citing a lot of sources

The Reddit exodus brought a lot of heavily propagandized idiots. They are shocked to experience not being inside the Western approved echo chamber. Give time for their brains to normalize.

At some point recently I freed myself from ideological bloc discipline as it relates to media sources and just started sampling broadly and making up my own mind according to my values. It’s liberating.

Couldn’t have said THAT better!

lol :D

This whole situation is crap. I have respect for all parties involved and I get informed from both platforms. Yes, I would probably agree far more with Ben Norton over Max Blumenthall ideologically.

But I tend to judge people based on their work, and Max (alongside Aaron Mate) are doing excellent work in covering US imperialist and capitalist attrocities. So does Ben. And that’s the only part of their relationship to me, as their audience, that matters. Everything else is borderline sectarianism.

Indeed, but I’m saying that currently a good chunk of Republicans are advocating for a shift towards China. So if they win the elections, we can expect that to be where the next provocation will occur. If they lose, then they can be expected to hinder the efforts in Ukraine or near the Russian border until they get their way. Previously, they were more willing to engage in the Ukraine adventure, even if Trump was president.

Very good and correct point!

This is just my own hypothesis as of now, based on the events and behaviours displayed:

Project Ukraine got started in the Obama years (likely as a response to Russian intervention in Syria), and the plan probably was to have Hillary carry it onwards. However, Hillary failed to get elected and the whole thing got frozen. This is probably one of the reasons why Democrats were so quick to shout that Trump was a Russian puppet. Because he wouldn’t go along with their plans for Ukraine. They even tried to impeach him when he tried to roll back their progress at rearming Ukraine for the upcoming war. These 2 actions show how the Democratic establishment viewed the world through the lens of fighting Russia. As such, they used Trump’s presidency to stir up the US public in an anti-Russian hysteria, so they could better present the Ukraine war when it came.

Once Biden got elected, the Project was going to get back on track, but first they had to deal with Covid as quickly as possible, because nobody would accept fighting/financing a war during a pandemic. As soon as the pandemic started retreating, then Ukraine intensified their Donbass shelling, and in February the war began.

As things stand currently, this multi-year, multi-term project has utterly failed. If Democrats lose their elections, then the whole thing will collapse. But even if Democrats win, then there’s not going to be much willingness to back the people who orchestrated this (like Victoria Nuland or Anthony Blinken) or repeat the whole thing again on a now-vigilant Russia. On the contrary, there’s momentum for focusing on China, so that shift will probably occur as soon as this mess is over. We see the same hallmarks before the elections:

• anti-Chinese propaganda focused on how China is spying on the West (balloons, spy stories), how China is an expansionist force (poor Taiwan, artificial islands), and how China is interfering in American politics and the economy (hysteria over Chinese investments in third-world countries, microchips, Chinese companies bribing European politicians etc).

• constant tears over poor defenseless Taiwan

• the US is furious at the recent African coups and will likely soon start blaming China (and Russia) for them.

All that is missing is a “China puppet”.

So, I don’t think that NATO will try steering shit near Russia in the near future again IF the Ukraine war is over. They still might try steering up shit with Russia right now in Ukraine. This would allow the next Democratic candidate to continue the Ukraine war, or force the next Republican candidate to continue it as well. It might also safe them face for the upcoming elections.

Recently:

• US and Turkish ships have provoked Russian Black Sea Fleet ships on patrol, using unmanned boats and dangerous maneuvers on near-collision course.

• Ukrainian irregular units have tried crossing the northern borders and stir shit up in Russian villages near Kursk.

• For the first time, a Ukrainian regular unit tried to invade the Kursk area in Russia proper

• Intensification of drone strikes and artillery attacks, which are increasingly brazen and increasingly more obvious that they are performed under NATO satellite intelligence.

• UK (and I think Germany?) announcing that they will be sending instructors in Ukraine to train new Ukrainian units, essentially turning British (and German?) military personell into legitimate targets in a warring country.
