People expect crops to grow in these conditions of land temps over 50 C
Corn crops and fruit are badly damaged and its too hot for farmers to even go out
India too rice crops failing in drought
Vietnam coffee belt is drying up
Expect food shortages and huge price hikes

Britain has no real armed forces left.

Its navy is a museum fleet with more admirals than working destroyers.

France pretends it still has a serious military but its equipment is outdated, its industrial base hollowed out, and its “projection” is pure theater.

Germany?

Its economy is bleeding 300-500 jobs a day and filing companies for insolvency like clockwork...

And yet the Western commentariat still believes this collection of ghosts can “defeat” Russia with fancy toy drones and hashtags.

NATO Europe isn’t weak by accident.

It was deliberately de-militarized and de-industrialized so it could never again act independently especially not against Russia.

Britain’s Royal Navy today fields fewer major surface combatants than it did in the 1980s Falklands War and most of those are tied up in maintenance.

It couldn’t sustain a real fight in the North Atlantic for weeks, let alone project power.

Paris waves its nukes like a security blanket, but its conventional forces are stuck in the 1990s with aging Leclerc tanks, Rafales that can’t be replaced at scale, and an army too small for serious attrition.

The moment supply lines are stressed, the “grande armée” becomes a logistics museum.

The same sanctions regime that was sold as “hurting Putin” has gutted the German industrial base the one thing that gave Europe any real weight.

No steel, no chemicals, no machine tools at competitive prices = no sustained war production.

You can’t fight a peer conflict with windmills and imported American LNG.

But mind you this isn’t incompetence.

This is the end-state of 30+ years of financialization, offshoring, and strategic castration.

Europe was turned into a wealthy vassal continent rich enough to buy American weapons and host American bases, but too weak and dependent to ever say “no” or pursue its own energy deals with Russia again.

The elites needed a threat narrative to keep the money flowing upward.

Russia was perfect it was big enough to scare people, but never actually coming across the border.

Meanwhile the real demolition of European power happened quietly at home.

Britain, France, and Germany aren’t preparing to “win” against Russia.

They’re preparing to be carried again by whoever is still foolish enough to subsidize their illusions.

The age of European great powers is over.

What’s left is expensive cosplay and daily job losses.

History is about to deliver the lesson in the only language empires understand:

Results.

The ghost army is marching toward reality.

They're designing park benches
so that homeless people can't sleep on them
and placing metal spikes beneath overpasses
so they can't be used as shelter.

Jerry Seinfeld says Palestine doesn't exist
and that sometimes socks go missing in the dryer,
wocka wocka
ha ha ha
it's funny because it's a witty observation
about life's everyday little goofy goofs.

Fast food wrappers blow in the wind
like the leaves used to do.

Duct-taped gargoyles with garbage bag wings
peer down at the din of civilization
as we march over the sidewalk sleepers
to our Jobs,
stepping over dead bodies
while staring at our phones
and counting the minutes
til we can go home to our sofas
and watch wocka wocka comedians
and shovel SSRIs into our faces
from large plastic bowls
so the crushing beauty of our world
and the knowledge of our mortality
doesn't topple us like Jenga blocks
and make us weep like open fire hydrants.

In this din they don't want you to feel.
They don't want you to think.
They don't want you to hear.
They keep it all CLANG, CLANG, CLANG,
BUY, BUY, BUY,
WORK, WORK, WORK,
WOCKA, WOCKA, WOCKA,
so that you can't feel your body.
So that you can't hear the songs.

There's bird song
and whale song
and heart song
and lung song.

There's fire song
and sea song
and wind song
and tree song.

There's ancestor song
and mountain song
and sun song
and wolf song,
and lots of others I bet;
I can't hear any of them.

Oh, except thought song,
which blasts through my head
like a sonic homeless deterrent
in a shopping center alleyway,
and,
like them,
I have nowhere else to go.

everyone knows that the sole reason Matthew Yglesias, Ezra Klein and Noah Smith refuse to recognize the ongoing Gaza genocide even though every major human rights organization and the UN and countless genocide scholars have done so, is because they're Jewish supremacist Zionists. That's it. It's pure tribalism for them, nothing more. It's a genocide done by fellow Jews, and they will never, ever accept that. Never. Solely because they too are Jews. That's it. That's the only reason.

If the exact same fact-pattern happened, but it was Russia doing it, or China, or Iran, or Turkey, France, Germany, and every human rights organization that they say is the highest expression of objectivity when it comes to determining human rights violations in every other context, from Amnesty to Human Rights Watch, officially stated that it was genocide, they would accept it in a second without a moment's hesitation. But not for Israel. Not for their fellow Jews.

And that is the most revealing thing about these figures who publicly brand themselves and made very lucrative careers as universalist liberals who eschew all tribalisms, transcend all parochial notions of petty identity-narcissistic in favor of a cosmopolitan worldview that treats every human as fundamentally equal.

That's all a facade. It's all bullshit. They're the most tribal petty narcissistic scumfuck degenerates alive walking on this planet, because they're most wealthy overly privileged little cunts who are solely motivated by what their fellow tribesmen do halfway across the world, and will do everything in their power to cover for them and launder them and ensure they will be able to continue their genocidal mass slaugher and rape of entire peoples.

Quegli occhi impauriti sono devastanti, non ho la forza di incrociare lo sguardo di quei bambini neanche attraverso un video.
Occhi di bambini che hanno visto il sangue di altri bambini massacrati, bruciati vivi, amputati, colpiti alla testa da cecchini.
Occhi che hanno visto brandelli di altri bambini raccolti in buste di plastica.
Occhi che hanno visto mille modi per morire.

Quegli occhi oramai diffidenti persino davanti ai soccorritori amici.

E mi viene in mente la figlia del mio caro amico Ibrahim, aveva quattro anni l'ultima volta che l'ho vista.
La sera prima della mia partenza passò ore a colorare un libro da disegno. Quando finì, io e suo padre la vedemmo andare nella camera da letto dove alloggiavo e mettere il libro nella mia valigia aperta, poi prese i colori e andò a mettere in valigia anche quelli.
"È un regalo per me?" le chiesi.
"Sì" mi disse "avrei voluto completarlo ma ho tanto sonno. Ho messo i colori nella valigia, puoi farmi un favore?Puoi completarlo tu durante il viaggio?"

Maledetti assassini.

This is genuinely shocking, and says so much about our approach to China.

I decided to check for independent reviews of the English version Xi Jinping's latest book, published a year ago, to see what people had to say about it since I hadn't read it myself.

To my surprise, I couldn't find any: not a single thoughtful review about the book out there! Even on Amazon, check it for yourself (https://t.co/1LVlhACA53): the book has only 3 ratings, that's it.

No matter where you stand on China, you’ve got to admit that’s pretty crazy: the sitting president of the world's rising superpower publishes a 700-page book explaining exactly what he's doing and why, and we don’t even care to look.

If there ever was a fact that illustrates just how willfully ignorant we are about China, this is it.

All the more because we then go spew the usual clichés around how secretive and impenetrable the Chinese system is: the book is on Amazon for $21 for crying out loud!

Anyhow, this felt so wrong that I figured I'd fix it. I bought the book, read it attentively and wrote what I hope you'll agree is a thoughtful review of it.

The book contains genuinely surprising passages, such as Xi writing that oversight of the Communist Party by "the judiciary, the public, and the media" was not just something the Party must “readily accept,” but something that he framed as historically decisive - an essential component to "escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall" that has doomed every dynasty in China's history.

Other passage that I'm sure would surprise many: a common narrative out there is that China blames the West for the century of humiliation and is driven by revenge. Well, Xi explains that's not true at all: the century of humiliation was China's own mistake, originated in the Ming Dynasty's disastrous "policy of national seclusion" that "resulted in China missing out on the opportunities presented by the Industrial Revolution" and "led to China’s decline."

All in all, the book is remarkably self-reflective and thoughtful. For instance Xi recognizes that his drive for “full and rigorous internal governance” - including to rid the Party of corruption - risked "instill[ing] fear and apprehension, or intimidate members into inaction.” He emphasizes the need for pragmatism in this regard, codified in a framework called the “Three Distinctions” that separates honest mistakes - made while experimenting, reforming, or operating without precedent - from deliberate violations committed for personal gain.

And many other surprises still. I found it a genuinely fascinating read for anyone interested in how the Chinese system works and how Xi thinks - or anyone interested in governance, period, as so much of what he writes is pretty universally applicable.

The Commander of Ukraines "Skelya assault regiment" is under investigation after revelations that 26 Ukrainian soldiers were beaten and tortured to death in forced conscription camps

Forcibly mobilised recruits exposed the brutal reality inside Kievs corrupt military machine. This reflects the systemic corruption and command failures that define Zelenskys leadership.

The commander of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment Skelya Lieutenant Colonel Yuriy Harkavy known by the call sign Skala has been suspended. Ukraines State Bureau of Investigation opened a pretrial probe after the independent outlet Babel published its investigation on 23 June. Witnesses including more than 30 relatives of mobilised men and a dozen soldiers described routine beatings ritualised humiliation and deaths logged as pneumonia or heart failure. The 26 fatalities occurred in training centres before any combat deployment.

The regiment has swelled beyond regimental size to division strength with at least 10000 men. It operates outside normal corps structures as part of Ukrainan army boss Syrskyis "direct control" assault units.

These formations carry out costly attacks (suicide assaults) that rely on forcibly mobilised conscripts. Many receive minimal training before being sent forward.

This fits the wider pattern of Kievs mobilisation crisis. Territorial recruitment centres run coercive operations known as busification. They grab men off streets and deliver them to units. Corruption runs deep. Officials issue false medical exemptions for bribes. One former chief psychiatrist amassed over one million dollars in assets. In 2024 authorities pursued 120 officials for smuggling draft age men abroad. Desertion cases exceed 200000 with estimates of 250000 missing personnel overall. Soldiers face exhaustion from no rotations and orders that amount to suicide assaults.

Corruption and abuse define the Dictatorships brutal system
Skelya reveals how corruption and brutality intersect. New recruits who appear weak or complain face organised violence and degrading rituals.

The evidence shows expendable manpower treated as fodder. Syrskyi maintains personal oversight of these assault groups to enforce compliance. The approach produces massive losses and breaks units from within. Probes like the current one rarely deliver any real accountability in Kievs graft ridden institutions.
Zelensky tolerates, celebrates and mainstreams Nazi linked elements, the Dictatorship has allowed the cult of Stepan Bandera to thrive, Official streets monuments and commemorations continue. The Azov movement with its neo Nazi founder and symbols receive integration into state forces rather than disbandment. Other assault units tolerate or draw on the same far right ideology. Meanwhile, Zelensky a figure with family Holocaust history has not confronted this reality. He integrates these elements because they deliver fighters and fit nationalist politics, he's also terrified to face down the power radicals in grained in his military.

Hindreds of billions of Western aid flows into this environment. Billions disappear into patronage networks that protect elites from service while the powerless fill abusive units. Kievs leadership refuses rotations confronts no command failures and shields ideologically extreme formations. The Skelya deaths stand as direct results of these choices.

Scandals like this are routine, but most are hidden, they will persist until Kiev dismantles recruitment corruption, ends the feeding of untrained men into deadly operations and purges extremist influences from its military.

The facts show a leadership that sacrifices its people to sustain power graft and radical nationalism.

Zelenskys administration bears total responsibility for the rot that now defines Ukraines failing war effort, and the thousands of men paying with their lives daily.

“People literally voted against an Iran war when they voted for Trump. They voted against an Iran war.

Trump said this during the campaign. I was standing right next to him. "Voting for Biden or Kamala or whoever, whatever zombie they put in to represent the interests of the ruling class. That means a war in the Middle East. Endless wars in the Middle East."

People voted for Trump so this wouldn't happen. They voted for him. They got it anyway.

They got exactly what they would have gotten under Biden or under Chuck Schumer or pick your Democratic leader. It's the same thing.”
