Iran already had diversification even before the revolution and Cuba is a lot smaller and had Soviet support for a pretty long time which made internal security easier to maintain Yemen is basically a survival economy they’re not necessarily ideologically committed to one model
I'm not saying there weren't outside factors but Yemen, Cuba & Iran have been sanctioned & brutalized 100x more than Venezuela & for much longer. If you care about resisting US imperialism you should want to understand what happened here, not just make excuses.
This dumb cope argument was already bad enough with the US which at least on paper is The Most Powerful Military in The World but to try & pull this with soft ass Saudi infantry getting no scoped every week having to call in Colombian slum dwellers for back up is pushing it
Armed Israelis are not only forcibly taking over Palestinian lands and homes at gunpoint. They’re murdering Palestinians in the West Bank with absolute impunity and the encouragement of the Israeli army.
Today Israelis murdered four Palestinians and are framing it as revenge.
In the last five years, Palestinians in the West Bank saw record high of settlements, Israelis murdering Palestinians (especially children), and policy-level solidification of stolen lands as Israeli.
We are in front of crucial times, where Israeli Jewish supremacy is being normalized, and so is the brutality and war mongering violence that comes with it.
FT: Maritime insurance company Lloyd's of London are informing brokers to exclude ships with any connection to Saudi Arabia from coverage. Ascot and Navium Marine are also preparing to cancel policies for ships linked to Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea.
MR has kind of just become JBFs personal plaything but this is no where near the most egregious edition they’ve published there isn’t even anything here about metabolism! To the extent it feels stale its mostly downstream the lefts general intellectual sterility (including Geese)
NEW: Taylor Farms gave *$2M* to Trump & Republicans as they postponed a rule that could've limited the spread of outbreaks like the ongoing Cyclospora epidemic.
The industry *also* successfully lobbied to cut a program that handled ~80% of produce testing.https://t.co/uedKsQtFJz
Among the most dishonest things written by Roth these past few months. Replacing Khan is no defense against the US and Israel because both have stated publicly they oppose the court as such for attempting to prosecute Israel at all.
Of course Trump and Netanyahu are going to use Karim Khan to discredit the International Criminal Court. The best defense for the ICC is to get rid of Khan so the ICC chief prosecutor isn't someone who at least two-thirds of the Executive Bureau has found beyond a reasonable doubt to have committed serious sexual misconduct and whose denials lack credibility. https://t.co/N9L8LQJCLv
Towards the end theres a great kicker where they pretend like the Biden Administration somehow tried to constrain Israel expanding its war aims and totally ignored just how openly Blinked defended Israel escalating in Lebanon.
if you can't see this as a reputation-launder job for Blinken and Sullivan then I'm not sure what to tell you. Nothing has been more obvious––from the framing, the self-serving spin the Thwarted Humanitarian routine. Citations ep coming soon on this because its sophisticated work
I have been briefed on today’s horrifying stabbings on the Upper West Side, where an Asian man and a Jewish man were attacked. According to witness and victim statements, the perpetrator yelled “Allahu Akbar” during both attacks. I am relieved that both victims are in stable condition.
The NYPD responded immediately and arrested Raul Morales in connection with both assaults—and I am grateful to the officers for their swift response.
The NYPD’s initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor. They are also evaluating these stabbings as potential hate crimes.
These hateful and despicable attacks have no place in our city.

BJG is cool and all but I dont understand her obsession with getting Ryan to interview her. It’s like begging for a Walid Jumblatt interview or something. Mostly a relic of a bygone era.
Palestinian-American student Sama Safi is now being wrongfully detained in Damon Israeli military prison and has been enduring horrific conditions and abuse after a temporary release for medical treatment.
The Israeli military had no right to take Sama in the first place, let alone hold her in such inhumane conditions. It is vital that you call your Senators and tell them to demand her unconditional and immediate freedom.

The libertarians and paleocons that held their nose tried to say yea we have to deal with bottom of the barrel racism but at least we get no wars and then we still get wars more out there than even Bush had in mind
It took me a while to come to this conclusion but the GOP is much worse than it was under Bush now. They have no problem talking like Klansmen and Skinheads, obsessed with people’s ancestry.
Israel has begun digging moats to fill with crocodiles around prisons holding Palestinian prisoners. The intention as expressed by the country's National Security Minister is to elevate the level of terror felt by prisoners at the facilities: https://t.co/6C5AkFuc89
Anyone that wants to claim Biden (and Blinken, Austin, Sullivan, etc) support for Israel was just a whoopsie or holding out for a ceasefire out whatever needs to explain why the administration cut the major lifeline to Palestinians based on nothing but a WSJ article
The Biden transition team had plans to reverse many of Trump's pro-Israeli West Bank settlement policies, but they were never implemented https://t.co/Ewlb6eP8oJ
People can disagree with Dependency Theory but there is a reason it came out of Latin America. Argentina was superficially undergoing an economic miracle following its entry into the British sphere of influence but it was totally illusory
It's true that Argentina has experienced a lot of economic mismanagement but the situation in 1900 was a mirage that was never going to be sustained. It was built on the backs of Big Beef.
The @Telegraph won't disclose this, but Tali Smus worked for a Zionist propaganda organization.
The Telegraph wants you to believe Tali Smus is just a college student facing antisemitism. It's a lie.
