Empire thugs are notorious for abusing their host populations. Germany known that locals get be beaten, raped and killed well before the the deal is inked, so they have to cover their liability.

If Milei makes it to the end of the year, we might see him join BRICS because “why should I let the communists enjoy all the success?”
They don’t need to run. They don’t need to win. They don’t care about anyone’s loss of rights. They’re the heralds of fascism just as much as the other party. It’s all identity politics. Trump winning means maximum fundraising. In that way, he’s actually a gift to the democratic party. If Biden lives long enough and wins, they will immediately cast the shadow of Trump over the next election as the next existential threat and money will flow again into the party coffers from pearl-clutching liberal donors. When Trump dies, they will have to prop up some “New Trump” since they aren’t going actually undermine capital to create better conditions. idpol is the only thing the democratic party ever does in US “elections”.
That this idea ever left someone’s mouth, let alone be put to vote beggars belief. That said, selling unwanted children to pay bills is probably the most libertarian thing I can think of.
I’m so sick of living in fear of Amerikkkan warmongering. I don’t want humanity to end just so the burgerland nazi empire can try to steal TSMC. Amerikkka does not have the right to exist. It must be burned to the roots or we face nuclear extinction.

I agree with the overextension argument. The US did try to negotiate keeping the base, or even relocating it. It seems that soft power failed and they were forced to withdraw or use military intervention. If they did invade/coup Niger, it would require arms transfers they already cannot meet in the other two fronts, and, probably worse, would unravel the US imperialist narratives even faster and weaken their strategic relationships which are already starting to crumble.
I’m 100% certain the US plans on coming back, but I don’t think the US will ever recover in a way that it would be possible if it stays on the current track.
I have the same physical reaction to these as when I find a snake in my house
Wow! first the country fell apart, then the economy, now the military. I’m just gonna burn my communism card if China collapses one more time
The Labour party is just neolibs. The most you will get is platitudes, poverty and imperialism.
I love the idea of Ukraine, one of the biggest and most corrupt kleptocracies on earth, being “lawful”. Also all 3 “good” alignments are colonial countries responsible for some… ummm… notable genocides. I cannot think of a single way in which Isn’treal is conceivably neutral; likely one of the most polarized “states” to ever exist. 10/10 gamerbrain waste of biomass.
Definitely. These things look like shipping containers for a reason. Time will tell if the US really did recall them.
So I said to my minister: “Minister, here’s the deal: whatever the businessman doesn’t want to do, which is to gnaw on the bone, the government will gnaw on the bone and we’ll make this road”
Sooo… lets let foreign capital take what whatever it wants and we’ll foot the cost of the things capital doesn’t consider profitable?
Ancient Masculinity
Cool. Lets talk about hygiene in ancient times. Before makeup, shampoo, toothpaste and modern concepts of “femininity” existed.
In my opinion:
I’ve always seen Turkey’s NATO membership as a bargaining chip for EU membership. And I think it’s becoming obvious to Erdogan that the EU is collapsing and even if they were given membership, it won’t bring economic prosperity. Erdogan is openly defying US sanctions on Iran, wanting to join BRICS and SCO. The US will not like that at all.
I agree with you on flexing. I think Erdogan is leveraging NATO in any way he can to get something for Turkey. NATO is a financial burden and dysfunctional mess, which is especially evident now with Ukraine. Turkey has the largest ground force army in NATO and what will that bring if NATO directly engages with Russia? Probably the most deaths out of all NATO nations if he went along with it. If Erdogan wants something better for Turkey, he’ll find it on the other side of the alliance, and I think he’s waking up to that.
