What’s the status of the bases that have been hit? I’ve seen report that they were devastated (~70% destroyed). Also, are there any bases that haven’t been hit yet?

I don’t believe this is likely.

Your comparison with Venezuela here neglect just how vastly different the 2 situations are. Not only is Venezuela far weaker militarily, they are also far closer to the US and their only trade routes to Eurasia are by boat which the US navy can easily intercept. Meanwhile Iran is on the same continent as China and Russia’s immense supply chains and industrial bases, they have a huge industrial base of their own, they mostly make their own weapons, they have huge sea and land trade networks.

Between the western economies making it clear to the whole world that they are now a sinking ship and the fact that even if the US can somehow block the maritime routes between Iran and China, Iran would still have land roads that the US has no ability to blockade whatsoever; making such a deal would make no sense for Iran.

Yes, Iran would not win from a prolong fight with the US, but they not lose from it either, in fact they are likely able to sustain the attrition of that kind of fight for far longer than the US could, especially with Chinese and Russian supply chains being right there on the same continent as them.

The only way it would last only weeks is if the US navy gets repelled or destroyed without ever touching boots on Iranian soil. There is no scenario in which the war lasts only weeks and the US wins. One or both of these propositions necessarily has to be false.

Apparently, the drone cost 20,000$. Meanwhile the fighter jet fuel, not to mention the missile, cost several millions of $. Whatever the reason, the cost to both sides wasn’t considered. Either the carrier crew panicked, or they think they have reasons to believe it was worth the cost for other reasons. Maybe they are trying to provoke Iran.

In a development that surprises no one, liberals don’t seem to have much to actually say about this despite clearly being very angry about peoples daring to imply that Zezel here isn’t the wholesome topologically good guy they’ve been portraying him as for half a decade now.

should Tehran attempt to rebuild its nuclear programme

Washington’s still under the delusion that they destroyed it I see.

Peoples still believe that lie about the column somehow running out of fuel and food and whatever redditors felt like saying this week while heading for Kiev?

I was there years ago when r/Ukraine started spinning that lie and I still have yet to see so much as a shred of evidence that this column ran out of whatever they said it ran out of, or that this ominous column that they said for months was about to reach Kiev was even real in the first place.

Did someone fuck around and not like what they found out?

Good

The European US-loyalists have screwed themselves to help the US in their proxy war against Russia only for the US to give up and leave Europe to deal with the fallout. They are desperately trying to keep the war alive while they scramble for a way to at least get something out of it.

Or perhaps this is sunk cost fallacy.

Twitter/X to Bluesky

Why do you flee a billionaire owned centralized platform only to go to an other billionaire owned centralized platform? (Yes, I know that in theory Bluesky is federated, but as long as there aren’t alternatives to the official server(s) Bluesky is effectively a centralized platform). Use Mastodon/Akkoma/Pleroma/whatever, you’re already on the fediverse through lemmy, might as well go with a full fediverse suite.

Also, a facebook alternative would be Friendica from what I’ve seen, but I’m not on it so don’t take my words for it and go see for yourself.

"Hey friends! I need your help. Can you tell me why the US would want to sell more weapons to the Saudis?

“That’s right! Very good! They probably want Saudi Arabia to attack Yemen in hope that this would prevent Yemen from supporting the Palestinian resistance!”

Israel is having a Ukraine moment.

Probably for the same reasons: they see that Israel is on a path toward irreversible and unavoidable defeat and want to cut their losses by scraping everything they can while on their way to bail out of the sinking Zionist boat.

This time for SURE sanctions will work

Almost all pieces ever written about the “Uyghur genocide” go back to this one “bad dude” Adrian Zenz if you follow the chain of sources back to their origins. And both of the articles you liked have him as source, not just one.

The reason it’s so bad is because Adrian Zenz isn’t merely biased, he’s a known liar. He’s a fraud who pretends to be an expert on China despite not speaking a single word of any of the languages just because he’s been to China a single time over 10 years ago. He is being referenced despite all that by CIA financed medias (such as the BBC via USAID) because his lies are exactly the kind of things western bourgeois want us to think about China.

Your comparing Dessalines pointing out that your sources cite Zenz to you pointing out that some of his links go to X is misguided at best, Musk isn’t the author of what is written on these X posts, Zenz is the author of the lies your sources tells.

No one is pretending it isn’t. But the fact that it is pointed doesn’t automatically make it false. You are rejecting sources on little more than vibes here.

There is no such thing as unbiased sources buddy. If someone tells you a source is unbiased, they are either lying to you or don’t understand how biases work.

Extremely critical support for the European national bourgeoisie in their struggle against the US based transnational bourgeoisie.
