Lumumba Vea, DR Congo's most iconic supporter, will miss the Leopards' decisive World Cup match against Uzbekistan after failing to obtain a U.S. visa. Stranded in Mexico, he was forced to return home to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, meaning he'll also miss any remaining matches if DR Congo advances. I've seen enough. This is the worst-organized World Cup I've ever witnessed.

@DJHed This foreshadowing is quite hilarious but very unsettling.

@newstart_2024 I’m really sorry that men are having such a hard time accepting women as fully human. Maybe they need to grow up and find a purpose other than subjugating women.

WOW!!!

Never thought we would hear this level of honesty from a Western leader, and certainly not Canada, given the direction of Canada in the past 25 years. Canada's shift towards multialignment is quite clear - and this level of honesty from Carney on Western "fiction" about the old order will be warmly welcomed in much of the Global South:

"We knew that the story about the rules-based order was partially false... We knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused and the victim. This fiction was useful [because of the goods provided by American hegemony]... So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

Think of it like this:

You would think that Black people would own the beauty supply stores in our neighborhoods. Hair Products only we use anyway. No. Korean and Arab families do. And when Black people try to enter the Black hair market, they are locked out of doing so en masse because those families have contracts with one another to keep Black people out of the market that would ultimately uplift them and circulate money in the community instead of extracting it out to people who dont live there and dont work with us.

Okay. Now what if that beauty supply store was a whole continent?

Like that.

If you think Israel, murderer of Christians in Palestine & across Middle East, will protect Christians in Africa incl Nigeria, you’re an unmitigated fool

If you align with Judeo-Christianity, a made up bullshit term to align Zionism with Christianity, you’re an unmitigated fool. Zionism is anti-Christ at its core.

This Netanyahu announcement is a calculated strategy to further Israel’s expansionism, deflect from its genocide of Palestinians & entrench America’s capitalist scheme.

“My Fellow Americans, Don’t Visit Nigeria. It’s Not Safe. They Don’t Even Have a President. So Much Is Going On In That Country Corruption, Extortion, And Insecurity. Before You Go To a Store To Buy Something, You’ll Pass Through Countless Checkpoints And Police Officers Begging For Money. Other African Countries Are Far Better And Safer Than Nigeria.”~ Black American Lady Warns Foreign Tourists

The next 72 hours are critical for the world.

If the United States succeeds in imposing control over Venezuela, and by extension over the world’s largest proven oil reserves, it will mark a major shift in global power.
Such a move would not be about restoring democracy or protecting human rights, but about reasserting strategic dominance over energy, trade routes, and regional alignments.

In that case, Iran would likely move to the forefront of Washington’s strategic priorities.
Securing control over Venezuelan oil would reduce U.S. vulnerability to energy disruptions in the Gulf and provide a buffer against supply shocks in the event of a confrontation with Iran.
With a reliable alternative source of heavy crude under its influence, Washington would be better positioned to absorb or offset the destruction or shutdown of energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf during a war.
This would lower the economic cost of escalation and make military pressure against Iran more politically and economically manageable.

At the same time, such control would strengthen the United States’ ability to shape global oil flows and pricing, reinforcing the central role of the dollar in energy markets and helping preserve the petrodollar system that underpins U.S. financial power.

Venezuela would thus become more than a regional issue.
It would become a strategic precedent, a demonstration that economic pressure, political engineering, and, if necessary, force can be used to restructure sovereign states and realign the global balance of power.

However, if the United States becomes entangled in Venezuela and faces sustained resistance, the outcome shifts dramatically.
A prolonged crisis would drain political capital, stretch military and economic resources, and weaken Washington’s capacity to project power elsewhere, including in the Middle East.
That would also complicate Israeli strategic planning, which is closely tied to U.S. regional leverage.

What happens in Venezuela will not stay in Latin America.
It will shape the future of energy control, the limits of American power, and the direction of geopolitical confrontation far beyond Caracas.

I agree. Once Dems win back the House, they should start by impeaching Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh.
