Honestly I think a country, preferably a "neutral country" not currently at war or arming a side in the current major global conflicts in Ukraine-Russia and Palestine-Israel, should conduct a large scale nuclear test. It seems that people have forgotten how destructive these weapons are, or what a nuclear strike would mean. The world, and its leaders, especially the western leaders, need a reminder.

These western leaders keep pushing for long range strikes against Russia and have struck their early warning radars once (who have over 1500 currently armed nuclear weapons) and keep giving endless support to an openly genocidal Israeli state (research the Samson option). These people are playing with fire, and they need to be reminded that fire burns.

The Israeli government posted and then deleted a message condemning ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the minister of defence. No such warrant has been issued. 👁️

meanwhile in propaganda land, zionists can be arsed to say sorry for killing an american

A Sputnik correspondent reported that Russian soldiers have discovered a map of the US military base at Fort Irwin, which the US military forgot in one of its Bradley fighting vehicles that it transferred to #Ukraine and was later captured in the Kupyansk area.

Fort Irwin is one of the largest military training centers in the United States located in the Mojave desert in California, where soldiers train to operate armored vehicles as part of brigades.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the United States has supplied Kiev with more than 300 Bradley vehicles.

The Trump shooter was an unofficial recruiter for the Ukrainian foreign legion lmao

“Most of the Ukrainian authorities do not want these soldiers,” said Ryan Routh, head of the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine, a private organization which helps foreigners seeking to assist the war effort connect with military units and aid groups. “I have had partners meeting with [Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense] every week and still have not been able to get them to agree to issue one single visa.”

Looks like it's 9-11 and it makes me wonder how much better would the world be if America fucked off. Imagine every right wing dip shit in almost every country in the world not having the backing of the world most powerful country.

The shooter, Scott Hayes of Framingham, has been harassing and trying to intimidate nonviolent anti-genocide protesters for nearly a year. A look at his social media:

(Apparently he's an Iraq war veteran?) https://xcancel.com/RashTheHorse/status/1834990231285559657

The shooter is also an Iraq War veteran. For all those braindead leftoids who think there's anything worth engaging in the fascist US military. "Bro 1917!!" There is no 1917. This is the Wehrmacht at 1941 in Babyn Yar. Complete fucking scum who should be viewed as the enemy.

This is by far the cringiest election in our lifetime, just make it stop

Two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center? Wow. I didn't know that, you're telling me for the first time. They led an amazing life. What else can you say? They were amazing buildings which led an amazing life. I'm actually sad to hear that. Thank you very much.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: — The Harris-Trump debate is a race to support the zionist genocide and both parties are panting over which of them is more loyal to the zionist entity.

I"m glad I put myself in a booze / food coma before the debates. Sounds like it went exactly as expected with the two trying to out each other.

....and I wake up to 3 more money demands from blue MAGA. More numbers to block...after I harass them at an inconvenient hour of the night of course, or convenient hour in Moscow.

Lula da Silva calls those who advocate privatization “imbeciles”.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called those who defend the privatization of Petrobras (Brazil's Oil Company) “a bunch of imbeciles” and said that the Car Wash operation, which revealed a huge corruption scheme at the state-owned company, was not aimed at arresting corrupt people, but at demoralizing the oil company in order to sell it.

In a speech during the inauguration ceremony of the Boaventura Energy Complex, in Itaboraí, in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Lula also said that Petrobras is not just for generating profit, but also for providing services to society.

US–UK jets bomb girls’ school in Yemen, leaving several casualties | The Cradle

Airstrikes launched by US and UK fighter jets against Yemen on 10 September killed two girls and injured seven others at a school.

The girls’ school which was bombed is located in the Taaziya district of Yemen’s southwestern Taiz province.

“The school in the Al-Jund area was hit by two missiles from US and UK aircraft,” local sources told Al Mayadeen.

Ukraine's fatal F-16 crash should scare Russia and China

First, with F-16s, Ukraine’s air force is becoming more aggressive and capable. Mes praised the F-16’s sophisticated avionics in an interview last November. "[The] F-16 is very maneuverable. It encourages you to pilot in an aggressive style,"

In short, be afraid because F16s are so dope that pilots go mad with power when they fly them

The side that has decriminalized desertion because desertion is ubiquitous is definitely the side that will win the war:

Ukraine is forcibly conscripting young men and pushing them into the meat grinder.

There is rampant insubordination and mass desertions. In just 4 months, 19000 soldiers deserted (probably even more).

The problem is now so common that Ukraine had to decriminalize desertion.

The Electronic Intifada just received a 7 day ban for violating YouTube’s “community guidelines”. They were not able to do their weekly livestream today.

more than 68,000 public employees in Florida have lost their union representation - NOT because they voted to get rid of their unions, but because their union had low membership and didn't petition for a recertification election.

From here CW: some lesser evilism. But also some good lines:

There is a song… what’s it called? “Which Side Are You On.” Yeah. Look it up. It is not called “Watch Us Build a Coalition With Moderate Elements of the Coal Industry Who Are More Reasonable Than Sheriff J.H. Blair.”

People will say things like " America deserved 9/11," to which I must ask " Why are you celebrating the works of the Bush administration?"

I like how Democrats have screeched for a decade about "stochastic terrorism", but you won't hear one peep about the links between them claiming he's the next Hitler and now a second attempt in a few months to dome his ass (no sympathy for Trump of course lol).

Some more news from the front.

Russian forces have now liberated at least 10 Kursk oblast settlements over the past two days (Apanasovka, Byakhovo, Vishnevka, Viktorovka, Vnezapnoye, Gordeyevka, Krasnooktyabrskoye, Obukhovka, Snagost and 10th October): https://sputnikglobe.com/20240912/russian-army-ousts-ukrainian-troops-from-10-settlements-in-kursk-region-1120121317.html

President Putin also made an important statement today in response to all the NATO chatter about ‘long-range weapons for Kiev’:

“I have already mentioned this, and any experts will confirm, both in our country and in the West, that the Ukrainian army is not capable of [independently] carrying out strikes using Western modern, long-range precision systems. It cannot do this. This is possible only with the use of intelligence from satellites which Ukraine does not have. This data is only available from satellites of the European Union or the United States, in other words, from NATO satellites. That's the first point.

The second and very important, perhaps key point is that only NATO servicemen can make flight assignments to these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this.

So this is not about whether or not to allow the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia using these weapons, but about deciding whether or not NATO countries are directly involved in the military conflict or not. If such a decision is taken, it will mean nothing short of direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, European countries, in the war in Ukraine. This would constitute their direct participation, and this, of course, changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict. It will mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries, are at war with Russia. And if this is so, bearing in mind the change in the very nature of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us.”

The only reason to check on American internal politics is to see how rotten and dysfunctional the empire is getting.

The H in Harris stands for "Hitler"

The Twitter page of Mossad agent Elizabeth Tsurkov is still up in case anyone is interested in seeing the pure form of unfettered liberal zionism. Anti-Russia, anti-Assad, anti-Iran, anti-Netanyahu, pro-"democracy", "antizionist" drivel. A good case study of BS to be honest.

She's still somewhere in Iraq after she got captured by Hashd al Shabi for being mossad agent.

I bring her up because a lot of "pro-Palestine" english-language outlets were citing her "journalism" even just a few years ago to lie about Syria.

Europe, of all places, should know that one must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Europe’s ‘Reason for Being’ at Risk as Competitiveness Wanes, Report Warns

The challenge for the European Union is “existential,” Mario Draghi, a former president of the European Central Bank, said on Monday in Brussels. If Europe cannot effectively compete and, in turn, provide its people with security and prosperity, he said, “it will have lost its reason for being.”

How detached is the UN at its headquarters or its offices in the Global North from its agencies in the field like UNRWA? I find it unbelievable that Israel keeps killing UN staff in these bombings on Palestinians and somehow UN staff aren't revolting. I know the UN is exactly as toothed as its veto countries want it to be, but if my coworkers kept getting killed by my boss I don't think I'd be sitting on my hands

Article about young voters concerns doesn't include a single word of Gaza, Israel, Palestine.

The way western media are covering US relations to the illegal zionist entity is insane. Here are some examples of headlines from Danish government broadcaster DR:

• September 10th: America demands changes after "Israel"'s army admits they probably killed activist
• August 16th: Biden: We will meet next week with the purpose of making an agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza
• August 15th: The White House confirms negotiations in Qatar: 'A promising start'
• August 2nd: Biden: The killing of Hamas leader doesn't exactly help the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza
• July 26th: Harris after meeting Netanyahu: 'What it's happening in Gaza is heartbreaking'

Western propaganda is making the US sound like a well-meaning humanitarian institution doing their gosh-darned best to stop the violence but those exotic middle easterners are just too unruly. The direct culpability of the US is only reported as something fringe activists are saying, if it is reported at all.

If your only knowledge about the genocide, occupation and apartheid in Palestine comes from sources like this, you are being profoundly disinformed about the situation. Not knowing anything at all would makes you less ignorant than what you get from reporting like this.

U.S. regulators claim they are not legally required to regulate toxic PFAS chemicals in sewage sludge spread on farmland across the country, according to a court filing the government made this week in response to a lawsuit from an environmental watchdog group.

Oh, okay.

So apparently chuds stormed the Mexican senate, the question is whether the new president acts like Biden and wastes an opportunity or acts like Lula and uses this as an excuse to purge some federal agencies.

They are really trying to try and divide the vote with Stein by pointing out she is Pro Assad. While I know a sizable chunk of the Arab diaspora here doesn't like Assad (at least in my experience), I don't think it will work because its purely a protest vote against the genocide in Gaza.

Dresden's Carolabrücke Collapse: A Stark Reminder of Government Neglect Under Scholz's Regime

Dresden has been plunged into turmoil as the Carolabrücke, the city’s most vital bridge connecting its northern and southern halves, collapsed during the night. This shocking event has not only severed a critical transport link but has also laid bare the weaknesses in Germany’s infrastructure management under the current regime led by the authoritarian leader Olaf "Nr 2" Scholz.

The Carolabrücke was more than just a bridge; it was a key symbol of Dresden’s unity and economic vitality. Its sudden collapse is seen by many germany watchers as emblematic of broader issues plaguing Germany's economy and leadership, widespread recession, corruption and instability. The Scholz regime, already facing criticism for its handling of various international issues, now finds itself under intensified scrutiny as citizens question how such a crucial structure could be allowed to deteriorate to the point of failure.

As the nation looks on, Chancellor Scholz and his government are facing mounting pressure to not only provide answers but also to take swift and decisive action. From the Bundestag only one thing can be heard "Es wird sich grundsätzlich nichts ändern" (Nothing will fundementally change). Several NGOs one of them Germany Watch lead by renowned Dr. 艾德里安 曾兹 has issued warnings that a human catastrophe is imminent if the world community does not act now.
