Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.


The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.

Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.

I don't know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Zelensky says he doubts Brazil and China's 'real interest' in mediating peace deal: 'They will no longer have power at our expense'

The Ukrainian president questioned Brazil and China's role in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia during his speech at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday. He also said that Moscow was planning a coordinated invasion of Ukrainian nuclear power plants.

“You will not increase your powers at the expense of Ukraine,” he said during his speech.

Since last year, President Lula has been saying that he wants to mediate a dialog between Russia and Ukraine to end the war, including a specific peace plan.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has also expressed his willingness to mediate a peace negotiation between the two sides. At the end of April, he spoke to Zelensky by telephone for the first time since the start of the war and said that he had put forward a proposal.

The Ukrainian, however, says that he will not negotiate with Moscow as long as Vladimir Putin is Russian president, and demands an immediate ceasefire. In May this year, at a meeting with the President's special adviser for international affairs, former Brazilian Chancellor Celso Amorim, in Kiev, Zelensky said that the only possible peace plan to end the war in his country is the Ukrainian one.

Zelensky had already accused Brazil of prioritizing alliances with Russia (in reference to BRICS). Lula denied “defending Putin” and said that “I have no side, my side is peace”.

In his speech to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, the Ukrainian leader said he would not accept an “imposed peace”.

“We Ukrainians will never accept that. We will never accept that. Why would anyone in the world believe that such a brutal colonial past, which has no continuity today, could be imposed on Ukraine now?”

In his speech, Zelensky also accused Russia of planning a coordinated attack on Ukraine's nuclear power plants.

I hope Moscow does, Ukraine can’t be trusted with nuclear technology, even civilian, as they weaponize it and breach international laws and attempt to purposefully cause meltdowns for political and strategic reasons

The Ukrainian, however, says that he will not negotiate with Moscow as long as Vladimir Putin is Russian president, and demands an immediate ceasefire.

Does he really think he's in a position to dictate terms like that? Or is it all posturing/performing for his backers in the West? You can't be losing and ask for a timeout without opening the door for peace talks/negotiations

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

Yes he seems to, his “victory plan” is just a wishlist of unrealistic demands like “NATO membership in 3 months” & “Russia withdraws to 1991 borders and leaves Crimea”. He will keep dictating terms up to the moment he flees the country or surrenders

Zelensky is in a similar situation to Netenyahu. Domestically, he is not particularly popular to begin with, and the second the war is over, he is done. With the end of active combat comes the relaxation of martial law. Relaxation of military censorship, the return of electoral politics. People will begin to reflect on the losses they have been forced to endure. In the face of defeat, they will question how many additional hundreds of thousands of lives it was worth sacrificing to avoid an earlier settlement. Meanwhile, anything short of delivering Moscow on a silver platter will make him persona non grata to the Banderites. And their fascists now have years of combat experience, unlike the typical American chud who can't even bag a deer.

I wonder if amerikkka will see value in extracting him or if he'll be left to the rabid fascist dogs

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

i think he will flee to a western country if he's lucky to live out his days in exile like Guaido or Ghani, he's a hundred-millionaire (maybe billionaire after the giant grift he's pulled off) and owns dozens of estates and mansions. It would be better for the West to let their comprador dogs have a nice retirement, as a treat, because then future compradors won't be scared off.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There is no way he is going to be able to avoid some kid who's dad he murdered or some oligarch who he screwed over. He'll be killed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ghani is still walking around free after killing thousands and betraying his country, fleeing with money

Private security details and massive compounds go a long way

So sick of this bloodstained cokehead dipshit

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe Ukraine will take matters into their own hand and forcefully oust zelensky-pain? Oh well...to the last Ukrainian then. shrug-outta-hecks

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

This is why they eliminated all opposition parties and media platforms on day one of the war, and ultimately did away with elections entirely. They wanted to make sure that the only end to this conflict is death.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

No, Ukraine fascists only take matters into their own hands to burn alive and kill communists party members inside a building for no reason other than they hate anyone that is against their far-right plans.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

I see BRICS is causing him pain. zelensky-pain

What if Putin just switched with the prime minister for a lil bit and then went back to being president after the peace deal went throughsans-troll
