The official results are expected early Monday, with voter turnout on course to be the highest in decades.

Against all odds, the socdems beat the liberals and reduced a surging far-right to an embarrassing third place. French fascists are stomping on their berets and cartoonishly snapping baguettes in half.

Fucking liberalsβ¦ theyβre getting desperate.
Tbf the governor says that isnβt happening.
You know there was a time when I legitimately thought the Democrats were at least less shitty than the Republicans but even at that low low bar, Iβm not so sure anymore.
Thatβs what itβs looking like, if things escalate with Iran, the US will have to make some pact with Russia.
Reminder that Argentina literally went to WAR with a NATO nation just 40 years ago.
Let me explain the βrules based world orderβ to you tiny brained turd worlders!
βͺοΈ = Good
π‘ = Okay but only if theyβre a semi-colony like Japan or βSouth Koreaβ.
π€ [Anything not white] = Bad
China is playing a different game, a long game.
Even in a very liberal university, whenever (outside of very niche courses) mentioned communism it was always the most insane propaganda. I can only imagine what madness theyβll teach in Florida. Hopefully itβll backfire like D.A.R.E. but letβs see.
When you realize how good the rich have it in capitalism, youβd understand how they are willing to do ANYTHING to not lose their privilege.
I know Washingtonβs food scene is better than it used to be but, for real? You guys donβt have a good enough local pizza that your spooks have to choke down that shitty corporate pie?
Letβs say for argumentβs sake that Genocide Joe is too worried about reelection and decides to actually not send direct American assistance. Isnβt βIsraelβ potentially biting off way more than they can chew?
Apparently itβs over 100, now how many will get through Jordan and Israelβs defenses, is unknowable right now.
China is exploiting capitalismβs greatest weakness, the desire for profit is infinite and has no restraints.
Milei in Argentina is also saying perhaps he was too harsh with China as well.
And forget about the ones like V*ush that call themselves socialist and denounce agitation and that the only path to revolution is to vote Democrats harder than ever.
China has one enormous weakness it can not yet be bold in the ways Russia is. Oil/Petrol.
The PRC is not oil-rich in the same way Russia and the US are, so they import most of their oil via tankers from West Asia/North Africa (commonly known as the Middle East) and there are two potential chokepoints, the Straight of Hormuz in Djibouti (probably RIGHT NOW the biggest weak point, so much that both China and the US have military bases there that are practically in front of each other) and the South China Sea, which contains a bunch of faithful bootlicking nations such as Singapore and Australia.
China is working on several pipeline projects, but I am certain that the US is doing everything possible to stop it.
I have bros who are reds in Venezuela, and they keep complaining that the government won't take the step from non-Imperial Core "Marea Rosada" socdem into actual socialism because they're terrified of being invaded and wrecked, Cuba is great but the material reality is that they simply do not have the funds to truly protect anyone but themselves. Vietnam is geographically blessed that they can have the space to get back onto the road of socialism after their stumbling in 1994 and 2001 having to "restructure their economy" (give in to liberalism) due to taking out loans with the IMF. Their future seems bright if they can forge a particularly strong relationship with the PRC. I'm sure they can crush the Yankee war machine a second time, but I understand 1000% why they're traumatized.
I think they might have gone a bit easier on the censorship, I realized I'd get shadowbanned just by saying "Palestine", which seems they don't do anymore. But words like "genocide", "intifada" and "from the River to the Sea" will still get nuked.
The US had the same cope in Afghanistan, every other week it would seem they killed a high-profile leader, and it never fucking mattered. Because a "terrorist" is just someone pissed off enough to use violence, you can't squash them like that.
The US has tried and failed for decades, you canβt defeat a tactic by just fighting them like a traditional army. The US sunk 20 years, $10 trillion USD, and oceans of blood into Afghanistan and achieved nothing. You also canβt force a people to βturn in the baddies for peaceβ by just flattening them like the US did in Korea and Vietnamβ¦ all it does is make the population hate you more and side with the side that fights them.
Itβs like Israel are Klingons or something that cannot visualize any solutions but violence and war.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrapped up the fourth and final full day of her trip to China on Monday.
The US and the Westβs in generalβs economy has been reliant on low cost manufacturing in the PRC for over 50 years and now Janet Yellen is conveniently instructing them not to βdump cheap products into the market, driving down prices.β Of course the Middle Kingdom have no reason nor incentive and the Westβs vague threats fall on deaf ears.
But itβs obvious whatever βtruce frameworkβ the US pretended to agree to last month was a load of steaming shit.
The Israeli army also cancels leave after Iran threatens to retaliate over the killing of its general.
Occupied Palestine (aka βIsraelβ) disables GPS and blackout IDF soldiersβ leave among credible threat that Iran might attack the terrorist state.
