  1. If I were a betting man, my money would be on the NordStream explosion being an operation conducted by the US. They're absolutely the greatest beneficiary, and we seem to have glossed over that in the following reporting and speculation. And before you lose your s***, I absolutely abhor the Russian regime. But we need to ask ourselves these questions instead of just nodding to whatever BS we're fed.

  2. Regarding Iran: The US has unfortunately proven that it cannot be trusted to uphold the deals made by a former administration. The only proven method to minimise US interference in Iranian affairs would therefore, sadly, be obtaining nuclear capabilities. North Korea has shown this time and time again. By consistently siding with Israel and Saudi Arabia - equally brutal regimes in their own right, the US has furthermore shown that this is solely a matter of geopolitical interests and not a quest for furthering democratic values in the region. Iraq, Egypt and Syria are clear examples of this.

  4. Wrong. Leftist can be for a regulated market and for a "more extreme" distribution of wealth. What you're describing is actual communist parties, which do exist, but are minute.

  6. That's probably because Google picked up on the traffic from their Israeli masters...

  7. Well, the POTUS is in fact a "monarch" now if you'd asked James Madison. When was the last time Congress was convened to declare war before a US invasion or bombing campaign against a sovereign nation? Just an opinion from Denmark.

  8. Regarding Israel: If they say they will commit a genocide, you should believe them. We're willfully and deliberately facilitating the greatest crimes possible. Shame on us all.

  10. I'm still not convinced that Ukraine was responsible for the Kerch Bridge. It makes far mor sense if the operation was conducted by a third actor that benefits indirectly from a) a Russian escalation and expenditure of treasure, men and material or b) a de-escalation to a low intensity conflict that doesn't demand the same amount of aid, resources and political capital to maintain for Ukrainian allies (especially with shortages, inflation and a looming recession). It's about weird that no-one has come forward and done a "game theory" analysis on this.

  11. Why haven't you covered the geoplitics of Gaza and the open US support for war crimes? Explain the logic in that, if you want to cover political corruption...

  12. And why exactly are there sanctions on Venezuela? Have they committed worse crimes than what eg Israel is doing now?

  13. NordStream was a US operation. No one else stood to gain as much as the US from the act.

  14. And before y'all answer moronically with "Russian Bot", let me explicitly say that I hate Putin and his regime.

  15. I was one of those people. I didn't believe that they had the force to push through and that the exercises was a political ploy. In my mind: If Putin actually wanted to subjugate Ukraine, why did he give them 8 years since 2014 to train and re-arm their forces? It just didn't add up at the time...

  16. Democracy fell exactly because it was so corrupt and inept that the average citizen became indifferent to it. That's where the US, Israel and many other countries are headed: A "strong" autocrat over a weak, feckless parliament.

  18. Man, that was indeed a very rough week.

  19. I know I'm in the minority here but hear me out: The bridge bombing resulted in destruction of essential civilian infrastructure that is also integral for military purposes. The recent Russian missile strikes targeted essential civilian infrastructure that is integral for military purposes. Sounds like a proportional tid for tad response by Russia (of course if you look past the almost daily nuclear threats made by Putin). I believe the nuclear threats, however unlikely they may seem, is a bluff designed to minimize any further military support for Ukraine by especially European actors. The use of such weapons will assuredly guarantee the very outcome that Putin is trying to avoid. Much like attacking Ukraine has resulted in Sweden, Finland, Moldova and Ukraine are now being fast-tracked for NATO membership.

  22. The seizure of Russian assets have shown that the US dominated financial system cannot be trusted to be apolitical. This was the first self-inflicted wound towards Russia and BRICS+ divesting from Swift and moving away from the US Dollar as a reserve currency. 300B$ today might hurt Russia, but the trillions of Dollars it will cost the US in a decade or two and the end of fiat currency will hurt the US vastly more.

  23. Here we go again: "[Insert Wunderwaffe] will change the situation of the conflict"... Not mentioning that they won't be supplied until a year from now and far from the numbers needed to make a significant difference. Hell, the US and the EU still haven't supplied the number of basic artillery shells that were promised. Meanwhile: Israel, an apartheid occupation committing genocide, have had a blank check of ordnance supplied to them. 50.000 tons, among them thousands of 2000 pd bombs... You know, precision weapons...

  24. Why did you use hypothetical scenarios for PMCs, when we have plenty of reports from Iraq, Afghanistan and a myriad of African Countries? Sadly, the Russians are simply following the US playbook when it comes to "plausible deniability" and conventions taking a back seat.

  25. Yeah, because nothing goes wrong when the US chooses to meddle. I swear, their strategists don't even read their own history books.

  26. If its Israel and the Iranians have proof, you shouldn't be such a goddamn cunt about it. Israel can barely hold off Hizbollah and Hamas. They're not the superpower they've made themselves out to be.

  27. You can in fact sit on it. Just ask the Algerians, Vietnamese and Palestinians on what has been done to them by "civilised" countries...

  28. Why? Americans went along with Iraq, even after the lies about WMDs were exposed. And the West is still covering for Israel despite the clear declared intent of genocide in Gaza.

  29.  @evananderson1455 And it's entirely ignorant of you to assume anything about my opinions on Russia. But don't throw rocks when the US have been utterly humiliated in Afghanistan and Vietnam, countries even poorer than Ukraine, and spent trillions in Iraq on creating a failed state. You tell me if that was handled properly, or if you underestimated the people you were figthing and their resolve? How about the hilarious campaign in Yemen? The worlds poorest country after 10 years of Saudi atrocities (Brought to you by Lockheed, of course) and continously being bombed now by the US. Do you think the US are underestimating their ability to simply not give a shit and keep fighting? You do you. It just boggles the mind how the US can keep repeating the same mistakes in every military campaign. PS: What the fuck is 4D chess? Time and space is the same dimension. Did you mean 3D chess?

  30.  @geraint8989  Pointing out hypocrisy is just that, not whataboutism. You keep doing whatever you want. It seems to be working like a charm. I'm not going to convince you of anything, and you've convinced me only of your inability to listen and learn from history. Here's a "whataboutism" for you: The US funding and supplying the murder of civilians in you-know-where (because we can't even mention it without censorship), while condemning and sanctioning Russia for the same type of crimes, but far less in death and suffering. You can shove you free speech and human rights up wherever, bub. No one believes the US anymore and no one believes in the US anymore.

  31.  @evananderson1455  Then why are we so afraid of Russia? You don't see the utter dishonesty in calling Russia weak and at the same time pleas for massive weapon spending increases and spreading fear of war? The last case with the "Russian space nukes" which was based on no actual facts was especially grievous. Just making shit up now and having the media sell it...

  32. Ukraine seriously needs to add their coat of arms to their official flag. Their flag now is a boring alt copy of the Polish flag. With their historic symbol on their flag, it becomes wholly unique, recognizable and instantly iconic.

  33. At this point, the only way Iran can make the US back off is exactly by adopting nuclear weapons. We've seen that agreements are worthless with the US and North Korea has sadly shown us that the US only respects countries that are able to mount a devastating response.

  38. Israel was founded to establish a Jewish homeland to make Jews safe. Israel is without a doubt the most unsafe place for Jews compared to where they live elsewhere. Turns out aggressive racist colonialism isn't as great as the zionists would have you believe.

  39. The Yom Kippur story is bullshit. Especially considering that Israel scrambled nuclear armed bombers in case the Egyptians broke though and threatened Tel Aviv. Nuke > Flood

  40. It won't. Iran is all talk and benefits along with Israel from the occasional demagoguery designed to fire up the base. Every Arab nation of note is firmly in the US camp.

  41. This is a little tinfoil conspiratory, I know: Every time there's something "fishy" going on in international geopolitics don't exclude a third actor that stands to benefit. Not from the direct effects on the gas supply mind you, that would be too obvious, but from the secondary effects and subsequent economic chaos. I wouldn't rule out Israel (or maybe Iran or China) had a hand in this.

  42. It's China's sovereign right to arm Russia, just as the US has armed numerous parties throughout the last century. The difference is that Russia is a legitimate, albeit brutal and authoritarian regime. Really no different than when the US armed Saddam Hussein. Historical context and a bit of self-criticism matters when you (rightfully) point to dubious actions of other nations.

  43.  @justinmillette9110  Sure, but the US also froze 300 billion dollars of Russian state assets. And excluded every Russian financial business and bank from SWIFT. That's the equivalent of the nuclear option in finance, and BRICS will respond in kind when they are able to not far in the future. The US and Europe are no longer the lion's share of the world economy. We're fucked and we let the Americans do it to all of us.

  44.  @justinmillette9110  YouTube keeps deleting my comments, so heres the short version: Yes, you're right. But The US froze (essentially stole, as it's earmarked for Ukraine) 300 billion dollars of state assets. Add to that the exclusion of Russian banks and financial companies from SWIFT, and that's the equivalent of the nuclear option. BRICS are therefore planning to end the US Dollar as a reserve currency for that reason.

  46. Then they should probably start regulating their own media, wouldn't you say? Or is racism and Nazis on twitter worse than tweens dancing videos?

  47.  @Louisus  And the US hasn't been adversarial, now openly hostile, towards China? Have you not been alive the last 20 years? The US sees any potential rival as an enemy to its hegemonic dominance. The irony is that the very act of provoking China, Russia and now Brazil, Pakistan and India, will ultimately result in the very outcome the US is trying to avoid. What good is your crown if you only use it to maintain your power instead of providing actual change for the better?

  48. No doubt that Russia murdered him. However it's important to point out that Navalny received funding and training from the US (Wikileaks) and they're exploiting his death by parading his widow at the MSC. Other dissidents have been imprisoned and/or killed without a peep from the media and the US. And then there's the numerous US journalists murdered where the US didn't speak out - Abu Akhleh, Khashoggi, Lira. They're just doing the usual and protecting their interests, whish if fine, but don't ever believe the gaslighting that the US is doing this for democracy or human rights.

  49. Never f*** with the money/oil. This might backfire tremendously if Ukraine manages to shock the global market - and it likely won't be good for them as most of their allies are half-assing their support at this point...

  50. We need a collaboration with Perun and Anders Puck Nielsen. The triumvirate of geo-politics and military analysis.
