I was persuaded by Brian Baleric’s latest video on this topic. Basically, he says that the United States knows where every warship in the world is at all times, and China also likely has this capability.
We do all know that the Indians and the Turks like to play both sides, this conflict might be the very thing that forces them to abandon that ambiguity.
Also not going to argue that Modi doesn’t love killing Muslims, but I personally think national interest will win out in the end
India is also a founding member of BRICS. I think Iran’s overall strategy is to sever all its neighbors from the US
Yes, it’s the name of Elon’s harebrained scheme to replace all enterprise software with AI

Do you believe your media gives you an accurate impression about Russia?
Which side is reeking of desperation right now?

Thank you, that makes sense!
Wait, I read about dysphoria 10 times a day on the fedi, how is it a TERF dog whistle?
What deindustrialization does to a mf
Does it mean deconstructing the imperial apparatus for manufacturing consent?
How funny, I’m actually sick of boot licking liberals simping for the US empire and its prostate vassals
Oh yes the deep state / neocons are pure evil. Trump is evil too, but he has all these weird hang-ups and hesitations when he “should” be decisive. I think it’s some weird TV image thing that he himself doesn’t even understand. There’s nothing I would put past these people but they also keep fucking up
I think that’s what makes it such a perfect test case.
All the politics and all the neocons and all the propaganda versus international law older than the nation itself
People have mentioned torture of Maduro or his wife in other threads and I do agree that a tortured confession would be an easy way out of this for them. The thing that gives me pause is that a cartoon villain always treats a named antagonist with kid gloves, which is how Trump seems to behave in my opinion. If we see Maduro fight the charges versus giving up relatively soon with a confession we should know which way it went
Kind of a turning point moment IMO
Does Trump have his final victory over “The rule of law” and bulldoze his way to a grand spectacle execution in a stadium?
Or will this enterprise be mired in procedure and their own incompetence until the whole thing falls apart?
I think my prediction is more towards the latter, but I think both ends of the spectrum are within the realm of possibility
They will have to really tie themselves in knots to put aside the absolutely foundational legal doctrine of sovereign immunity. If any court would though, it’s these fuckers.
I still don’t see how they avoid a years-long circus in the lower courts
So that’s the thing that’s most confusing to me, of all the powers and systems and institutions in the US, the only one that has ever meaningfully constrained Trump at all is the courts. (Of course I grant that they have given him completely unprecedented leeway and rolled over in many many instances)
If the Trump DOJ brings charges in federal court, which they seem to be signaling is their plan, then then Maduro will have a right to a lawyer, the right to discovery, the right to cross-examine witnesses, the right to appeal…
I guess they could try and have it both ways? Instead of sovereign immunity meaning that the US courts have no jurisdiction whatsoever, try to use sovereign immunity as a justification for why Maduro doesn’t get defendant rights? It all seems super messy and like Trump and his clatch of idiots are marching down a line of rakes
How will they neutralize all the procedural protections for defendants in the US courts and prevent Maduro from turning it into a mockery of itself?
Oh yes absolutely, that’s part of what I was alluding to with killing Muslims. Also LITERALLY WORSE THAN THE NAZIS so there’s that
