Analysis and images of the parades is all over the internet and in the last megathread; for the China-India stuff I recommend this article, as well as the Tricontinental in general.

Image is from @[email protected]'s comment in the last megathread.

Last week was the 80th anniversary of the end of World War 2, and on such an occasion, China put on quite an impressive military parade, especially in comparison to the rather drab and corporate parade that the USA recently had. In attendance were many world leaders, including Putin, Kim Jong Un, and a very happy-looking Lukashenko.

This took place shortly after the SCO summit in Tianjin, in which Modi was notably in attendance. That one of the world's most powerful fascists was in attendance in China near the anniversary of the World Antifascist War is obviously pretty ironic. Regardless, the mood was still relatively positive; for example, Xi announced the acceleration of the creation of the SCO development bank, and Indian-Chinese relations are once again in the thaw cycle of their long-term cyclical pattern, with direct flights resumed and links expanded. The fact that there is this much projected optimism from China about a Global South which is being increasingly tariffed, infiltrated, starved, looted, bombed, invaded, and massacred in the hundreds of thousands by rabid imperialist dogs is perhaps a little tone-deaf, but buoying up the SCO is better than doing nothing at all, I suppose.

Any astute Geopolitics Understander can tell you that this is certainly not India joining the side of the Global South, but instead a move somewhat forced upon them as they seek to balance both sides for their own gain. As Trump amps up pressure on India via tariffs, it is natural that India would seek leverage, and there is much that India gains: industrial development, increased intra-regional trade, and scientific knowledge from a China which has, in numerous fields, now pulled ahead of the USA. India is also facing numerous internal crises, ranging from run-of-the-mill capitalist incompetence and corruption, to worsening conditions for farmers, to the ravaging impacts of climate change, and increasing their links with China is a way to vent off a little of that pressure and protect Modi's regime.

Israel's Genocide of Palestine

If you have evidence of Zionist crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against the temporary Zionist entity. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

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

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
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.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Whoop whoop whoop, mod tyranny alert

19 84

I understand that everyone had a big day yesterday and surely there will be more excitement to follow as the kirk killing is digested by the news cycle. However, the newsmega is meant to have an international focus. Please keep top level replies on the newsmega to more substantive issues or at least more substantive posts about the impact of Kirk's death.

For example, trump doing some crazy executive order citing the kirk killing - newsmega worthy. An effort post rounding up the story and how it may impact real policy on America or elsewhere - newsmega worthy. On the other hand, loser US pundit tears, subreddit drama, and low effort memes belong elsewhere on the site, such as the kirk megathread. You don't even have to leave the news comm, but it doesn't belong in the international newsmega.

I'm not going to go back and delete low effort or off topic posts in this thread, but please follow the above authoritarian 1984 diktat in the future as a gesture of respect to Kirk's steadfast defence of free speech, including centering the voices of people of lead (this is the woke term for bullets).

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Huge tide of civil disobedience as pro-Palestinian protestors took the streets of Madrid and forced the shutdown of the last section of the Spanish Vuelta Ciclista as a protest against the presence of the Isn'treali team.

This is a very significant event: a mass of above 100k protestors (by gvt estimates) flooded the streets without any organization overtly coordinating, since protests today weren't allowed due to the Vuelta Ciclista. This is a total victory of class struggle against Zionism, and is the first time since the 15-M/occupy movement days that such an act of civil disobedience takes place in the capital of Spain.

The goal of the protest is mainly to force the big unions to declare a general strike for Palestine, and the Sindicato de Estudiantes (students union) has already summoned an education strike on October 2nd, two days before the next big protests which will take place on the 4th of October on a state-wide event.

This day followed the example of the Italian harbour strikes, and the previous big protests against la Vuelta Ciclista in Euskal Herria. Free Palestine from the river to the sea!

Spain has been considerably better than most of Europe on this, even extending to the political class (by the low metric of others). There's increasingly active hostility between the Zionazi state and Spanish state too and if I was Spain I'd be seriously monitoring and considering Israel as a potential threat to national security.

True Promise 2 ↔️TEL NOF AB dead end

After a year of zionist censorship, high-quality open source satellite images have finally been released (from Dec 24), revealing that at least 9 Iranian missiles hit the Tel Nof air base and its surroundings, 3 of which hit key locations.

The reason for the secondary explosion in Tel Nof, is that the factory containing explosives located in this location was hit. The impact was massive and caused damage to surrounding buildings, with a fairly deep fissure forming at the impact's epicenter. In addition, at least one Iranian missile hit the air base staff building in the housing area of ​​the base and several buildings have been destroyed. The impacts on Nevatim and Tel Nof alone show that there were more than 55 ballistic missile hits and together with other locations, it shows that Israel's missile interception rate has dropped to almost ~58%, not as seen in the attached image.

[the attached image being an excerpt from an article stating that Israeli aid defense "operated impressively, with high rates of interception"

well, see you next year for the real damage from True Promise 3 I guess sicko-flipped

Does anyone here know anything about the Moldovan election? Heard the left-wing bloc is polling pretty high, in some recent polls even first.

Considering how manipulated the last election was, don't expect to see anything different this time. The current government is only in power thanks to the diaspora living in EU countries, and this trend is only likely going to increase. The electoral authorities are going to do their best to suppress the vote in Moldova itself, particularly in ethnic minority regions like Gagauzia, and especially in Transnistria and in that segment of the diaspora that is living in Russia by not providing nearly enough polling stations there, while heavily investing in getting the votes of Moldovans living in the West who skew heavily liberal and pro-EU.

It is now widely acknowledged even by western media that the last election was decisively swung by the diaspora vote, which has a high turnout rate and is overwhelmingly pro-EU, and without it the pro-EU forces would have lost. They are practically bragging about this. Meanwhile the predominantly anti-EU votes of the people in the country itself are being blamed on "Russian interference". The whole thing is a farce, just like the election in Romania was.

Meanwhile they are getting an immense amount of funding and help from the EU authorities, and they are using that to blackmail and bribe local authorities and voting blocs across the country, promising EU funds for those who vote for them and threatening to cut them for those who don't.

And this is also a self-reinforcing downward spiral because their disastrous policies are going to drive more people to emigrate out of the country, which will increase their diaspora voter base until you have more votes in the diaspora than you do in the country itself. Already almost half of all Moldovan citizens live abroad, and half of those are in the EU. Out of 1.7 million votes, 330k were from the diaspora in the last election. That is not normal and that is not ok.

If they still manage to fumble it despite all of this rigging, then they are in serious trouble and it would be an indication people are so fed up that the EU and its comprador lackeys are starting to lose control. Desperation will set in then and repressions will increase. And if nothing else works they may resort to the "nuclear option" which is pushing for reunification with Romania.

An Eruption of Assassinations

Peter Turchin’s USPVDB shows America’s current assassination rate has exceeded the 1960s peak and is approaching Civil War levels. From 2020–2024, seven assassinations occurred,including attacks on politicians and public figures, reflecting deepening instability. Turchin argues assassinations and terrorism are “canaries in the coal mine,” warning of structural breakdown: immiseration of ordinary people, overproduction of frustrated elites, and widening inequality. These conditions drive both lone assassins and organized radicals, signaling that the U.S. system remains dangerously unstable.

from the actual article: https://archive.ph/1N86W

more

In this blog I usually don’t comment on events as they occur, because my focus is not on individual occurrences, but on broader societal trends. Also, our understanding of a particular event often changes as more information becomes available. The chaotic reporting on the assassination of Charlie Kirk over the past several days (and retractions) is a good example of this. But, actually, I was planning to write about the recent increase in the frequency of assassinations, as well as their broader social context anyway, so it is a coincidence that this post comes out in the wake of this tragedy. According to my US Political Violence Database (USPVDB), the five years from 2020 to 2024 saw seven assassinations. This is higher than the previous peak during the 1960s, although only half as large as that of the late 1860s:

This count includes an assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, the shooting of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Luigi Mangione killing Brian Thompson, and a few lesser-known others, but not the assassination of Charlie Kirk (which will be part of the count during the next 5 year period). At the same time, we are experiencing a huge outbreak of terrorism, most of which takes the form of indiscriminate mass shootings. The Database classifies a political violence event as terrorism when the intent is to attack a social group or the society as a whole, while assassination is an attack against a particular representative of such a group, often its leader or another prominent member. The reason my research group devotes a lot of effort to gathering data on political violence events, which include assassinations, terrorism, violent urban riots, rural insurrections and so on up to all-out civil wars, is that this allows us to quantify how the intensity of political violence changes over time. And that, in turn, gives us a way to empirically test the predictions of the structural-demographic theory, whose goal is to understand what factors drive political instability up or down. You can read more about this project in my 2012 article, Dynamics of political instability in the United States, 1780–2010 (and recently we’ve been updating the data through 2024).

Constructing such data requires some judgment calls. For example, there is no sharp boundary between assassinations and terrorism. Consider the case of Wesley LePatner, a senior executive at Blackstone Inc., who was killed in a mass shooting event on July 28, 2025 at the firm's headquarters in Manhattan. According to police and public officials, the shooter in the NYC building where Wesley LePatner was killed appears to have been targeting the NFL offices, but then took the wrong elevator, ending up on a different floor. Yet, it is a curious coincidence that Blackstone is one of broadly detested corporations, and its executives have been accused by leftist groups for its “greed-driven agenda” that fueled housing affordability crisis (see, for example, Housing Is A Human Right Exposes Billionaire Landlord Stephen Schwarzman). In USPVDB we classify this incident as “terrorism,” but if the shooter specifically wanted to kill a Blackstone executive, it would be an assassination. In any case, from the point of view of the structural-demographic theory, cleanly distinguishing between assassinations and shooting rampages is unimportant, because the root cause for both kinds of political instability events is the same.

there's some description of Turchin's theories of elite-overproduction here which seem maybe kind of crank-adjacent and I'm skipping, but there was this interesting bit about Lenin's brother which I didn't know:

A great example of the close relationship between terrorists and revolutionaries is the brief career of Alexander Ulyanov, a lesser known brother of Vladimir Lenin. He was executed in 1887 for an attempted assassination of the Russian Tsar, Alexander III. There is a famous Soviet-era painting, which depicts young Lenin (at that point, still Ulyanov) with his mother on the day of execution, titled “We Will Choose Another Way.”

y'know, I feel like I've genuinely never seen a non-balding depiction of Lenin before this point, I can barely recognize the guy lenin-sure

Returning to the here and now, few people are motivated enough to sacrifice themselves in this way, but there is a larger group that support and cheer them. According to one poll, taken in December of 2024, 10% of responders viewed Mangione as a "hero" (Only 10% Consider Man Who Murdered United Healthcare CEO a Hero"). This is much smaller than the 53% who viewed him as “villain”, but still­, one in ten Americans support and cheer a cold-blooded murderer? Interestingly, support for this assassination was particularly high among the overproduced degree-holders: “Among voters with a postgraduate degree, 15% consider the killer a hero. Only 8% of those with a Bachelors' degree share that view along with 9% of those without a college degree.”

tony-cheer IN THIS HOUSE LUIGI IS A HERO, END OF STORY

It's important to note, that by themselves political assassination and terrorism don’t overthrow the established elites (at least, I can’t think of any examples). An assassination of the state ruler may serve as a triggering event for a revolution or an onset of civil war, but it still requires a well-organized and committed counter-elite party. The failure of Alexander Ulyanov and ultimate success of his younger brother illustrate this principle perfectly.

The significance in the rising frequency of such instability “micro-events” is that they signal that something is deeply broken within the social system in which they happen. I tried to draw attention to the rising frequency of shooting rampages back in 2008 (you can read about it in my 2012 blog post, Canaries in a Coal Mine). A canary dropping dead in a miner’s cage is not the cause of the explosion to come, but rather an advance warning. Similarly, the increasing incidence of assassinations and terrorism tells us that we aren’t out of the woods yet, by a long stretch.

[-] [email protected] 51 points 6 days ago

This is interesting but I think it bears mentioning that Turchin is often vaguely fashy and a defector from the Soviet Union himself. You can see it in his irresponsible slander of Luigi (who has, of course, been convicted of nothing at all).

[-] [email protected] 42 points 6 days ago

Turchin believes that all crises stems from elite over-production, where there are not enough spots at the table for elites to place their children so their children inevitably turn to the people and use them to overthrow the existing elites and install themselves in as new elites.

This is of course a ridiculous underestimation of the amount of conviction from the proletarians it takes for a revolution to actually occur, be implemented and successful. Elite over-production is just a symptom of funneling money and power into smaller and smaller familial circles, which squeezes everyone, a single cause among hundreds that fires off the revolution.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 6 days ago

Exactly, not saying "alleged" in reference to Luigi who is contesting his alleged guilt is really sloppy or ideologically motivated.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 6 days ago

He didn't phrase any of his other examples that way, so it was 100% a deliberate ideological choice.

F-35B Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing (STOVL) capable 5th generation stealth fighters have been froward deployed to Puerto Rico this weekend, as expected according to previous reports. This is notable as the F-35B can operate off of the USS Iwo Jima amphibious assault ship deployed to the south Carribean near Venezuela as if it's a mini aircraft carrier, if needed. The F-35A and F-35C cannot. The Iwo Jima is currently operating with AV-8B Harrier II Plus aircraft.

Flight tracking data for mid air refueling and support (transport/cargo) flights from Marine Corps Airfield Yuma, to Puerto Rico over the past few days

Pictures were captured over the continental USA of the mid air refueling. Note the drogue attachment on the boom, ruling out the F-35A model, and the smaller wings of the F-35s, ruling out the F-35C model.

Missed this: The F-35Bs were videoed and photographed on arrival to Puerto Rico.

Why deploy F-35s? To guarantee air superiority and air cover for the US Naval and amphibious Marine forces. Venezuela's 2-3 operational F-16s pose no threat to US forces. They lack radar guided missiles, only have short range infrared guided air to air missiles, and their anti surface weaponry consists of unguided gravity bombs. The Harriers with active radar guided air to air missiles (AIM-120C AMRAAM), and the AEGIS equipped destroyers have those covered relatively easily. However, Venezuela's Su-30s could pose a much larger threat. These aircraft have active radar guided R-77-1, and semi active R-27ET air to air missiles, with a range of up to 130km. Along with their Kh-31 supersonic anti ship missiles, the estimated dozen operational Su-30s could pose more of a threat, depending on their state of readiness and operational capability (interviews with Venezuelan pilots are not positive in this regard). Hence the deployment of F-35Bs. On ground based air defence, Venezuela's old Soviet era SAMs and MANPADs would pose little threat to high flying Harriers if airstrikes are to be conducted on Venezuelan soil. However, the S-300VM/SA-23 air defence system poses a serious threat to these aircraft if not destroyed beforehand. F-35Bs could be used to work around this, carrying out airstikes on Venezuelan soil using their stealth capabilities, without the need to destroy the system.

Part of me genuinely wonders if this isn't a diversion though, and they are about to bomb Mexico or something. It seems too obvious right now to go for Venezuela. They're not geniuses but there are at least some majors that would tell Trump to be more tactful. Or maybe they're gonna do some pager-like bullshit and then the diversion is less necessary. How many gusano venezuelans could they deploy?

[-] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago

Depends on what exactly. Some sort of limited strikes in Venezuela "against the cartels" are possible and likely. A full blown air campaign, or amphibious assault is possible, but less likely.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The sort of thing the US MIC would do and people would call them grifters and clowns over it.

Instead of relying on old search patterns, the AI system acts like a smart commander in the ocean.

It uses data from sonar buoys dropped by helicopters, underwater sensors, radar and even ocean temperature and salt levels to build a live picture of what is happening under the sea.

Then, it quickly decides where to look, how to adjust its equipment and how to respond when a submarine tries to escape by zigzagging, going silent or releasing fake signals to throw off the hunters.

So it doesn't actualy create any new sonar tech, doesn't actually help in any communication tech, doesn't actualy do anything new.

No it just role plays as a human claiming to do it better than humans, this time at the task of coordinating a search. Wow amazing 10/10 if it didn`t fit exactly into the same pattern of garbage AI shills trying to fit this nonsense literaly everywhere.

Yeah you sure go integrate "AI" into your communist war machine, I'm sure it will be very successful lol.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

AI detection is really good at finding patterns and this is a textbook use of the technology. But it doesn't need to be as good or better than humans are, because humans are incapable of scanning the entire ocean. You need to automate a large sonar network because of the scale of it, and ML systems will outpace any sort of hardcoded solution easily. These kinds of systems are already in use, but the "virtual commander" model that China uses is going to be greatly beneficial because drones can be dispatched faster than human crews, and a fully automated submarine detection system will cover more ground than a human based one.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I can actually agree with this take. Pattern matching is pattern matching. Will it be great at it? Probably not excellent. But it'll be fast at it. It'll likely be able to weed out tons and tons and tons of true negatives, and give humans—assuming the military is smart enough not to just trust the conclusions of the algorithms without verification—a greatly reduced area of interest to focus on.

Using stuff for what it is actually designed for and good at can help. Who knew?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

Is this seriously the reason they haven't built more manned submersibles?

The only thing the US military is actually good at is electronic and submarine warfare, do they really want to set their (totally not busted) "AI" against the entire electronic infrastructure of the US navy?

Are they gonna hook up a fiber optic cable to it when inevitably craps out? Goddamn grifters everywhere
