Image is a frame taken from this video of Iranian missiles raining down on Israel without interception due to a weak and depleted air defense system after a year of war and genocide.
Mao, 1956:
Now U.S. imperialism is quite powerful, but in reality it isn't. It is very weak politically because it is divorced from the masses of the people and is disliked by everybody and by the American people too. In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of, it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe the United States is nothing but a paper tiger.
When we say U.S. imperialism is a paper tiger, we are speaking in terms of strategy. Regarding it as a whole, we must despise it. But regarding each part, we must take it seriously. It has claws and fangs. We have to destroy it piecemeal. For instance, if it has ten fangs, knock off one the first time, and there will be nine left, knock off another, and there will be eight left. When all the fangs are gone, it will still have claws. If we deal with it step by step and in earnest, we will certainly succeed in the end.
Strategically, we must utterly despise U.S. imperialism. Tactically, we must take it seriously. In struggling against it, we must take each battle, each encounter, seriously. At present, the United States is powerful, but when looked at in a broader perspective, as a whole and from a long-term viewpoint, it has no popular support, its policies are disliked by the people, because it oppresses and exploits them. For this reason, the tiger is doomed. Therefore, it is nothing to be afraid of and can be despised. But today the United States still has strength, turning out more than 100 million tons of steel a year and hitting out everywhere. That is why we must continue to wage struggles against it, fight it with all our might and wrest one position after another from it. And that takes time.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Do they try to astroturf twitter anymore? It's sort of amazing seeing Americans react this way.
Never unspoiled and spoil’d a pic so fast. YAWN

If it's true he's dead, an absolute hero and a symbol for the resistance shines brighter than ever; after life spent in hiding he's now out in the open and adding more fire to the hearts of the fighters.
If it's a lie, then this might be the best possible scenario for an "if you come for the king you best not miss."
Should Zelensky's government be afraid of far-right groups?
https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20241011-should-zelensky-s-government-be-afraid-of-far-right-groups | archive link - https://archive.is/9C6qS
newsmega stay winning, 2.5 years after feb 2022 we have mainstream news reporting on the factional infighting of the ukrainian government and the influence of far right nationalists as a barrier to peace. I guess that famous video of zelensky getting sandbagged by ukrainian nationalists back in 2019/2020 when he was trying to get ukrainian militias to stop firing into the donbass actually was important after all.
it's very clear how much the story of ukraine as a western proxy aligns with the story of afghanistan as a western proxy in the 1980s. in both cases, far right marginal/not dominant elements of society are materially supported by the west with military gear/$/trianing, their message is amplified through western soft power and media channels, and they become the de facto government of the proxy. they hop in the driver's seat of the proxy in a non-democratic way, and proceed to use the proxy as a whole as a battering ram against the western enemy while placing no value on the health of the people or country of the proxy.
"Bidochko added that while these organised movements had carried little weight in parliament in the years that followed, political leaders and oligarchs alike had forged short-lived alliances with militant groups to harass their rivals and protect their own commercial interests. "
What were Hitler's brown shirts doing before his rise to power?
So if Sinwar was killed in a strike on Gaza, does that mean the talking point of Hamas' leaders hiding in Qatar is complete hasbara?
wasn't a strike, guy was fighting
Damn that's badass
if the reports are true: Yahya Sinwar, Z"l – I owe a great debt to you if we meet after life.
It took Israel over a year since Oct 7th to kill Sinwar within a tiny strip of land ~~requiring intelligence from all the western countries.~~
I doubt it was intelligence even, they've just been killing until they killed him, the end.

crazy he was on the front line at all, what a guy
Seriously we have Bibi's son hiding in Florida. Meanwhile the person you claim is the most evil cowardly terrorist of all who is constantly simultaneously surrounded by hostages as shields/in a mansion in Qatar/deep underground like a rat is in actuality fighting day to day with his men. Absolutely legendary.
This will bolster Israel for a couple days... But it will strengthen the resistances resolve for decades.
After all the shit Zionists talked about million dollar Qatar penthouses
I'm pretty sure every Twitter troll was saying he was chilling in Iran.
Weird how they found him in Palestine.
Probably fed shit, still interesting
"Israel" bombs north Gaza shelter killing over a dozen displaced Palestinians | The Cradle
"Tel Aviv’s" forces, under the so-called ‘General’s Plan,’ recently launched an operation to expel the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who remain in northern Gaza and turn the entirety of the area into a military zone.

The NYC Mayor Eric Adams corruption story is so dumb annd funny and somehow just keeps getting funnier. He’s been fundraising to pay for his legal defense (lol) and has basically run out of money to keep his legal defense going (lmao). A ton of his team for his regular job as mayor resigned and now he’s short staffed there too.
I was mad bored at work today and inspired by his stupidity so I wrote a joke article about the Eric Adams corruption charges as if he was a governor in the Ottoman Empire during the 1600s in case anybody wants a laugh

is this real? Was Sinwar strapped with mentos?

⭕⭕⬅️نحن الجيل الذي عايش فترة ارتقاء الشيخين احمد ياسين وعبدالعزيز الرنتيسي وكان بين اغتيالهما ٤٠ يوما فقط ، وبعد ٢٠ عاماً من اغتيالهما نفذت حماس اكبر هجوم في تاريخ القضية الفلسطينية يوم ٧ اكتوبر وسحقت فرق جيش الاحتلال في غلاف غزة خلال اقل من ٦ ساعات .
نحن نعايش ايضا في هذه الفترة ارتقاء الشيخين اسماعيل هنيه ويحيى السنوار، ونحن مأمنون وعندنا كل اليقين، ان حماس التي قويت أكثر بعد ارتقاء الياسين والرنتيسي، ستكون أقوى وأشد عوداً وصلابة بعد ارتقاء هنيه والسنوار .
A man of taste knows the underfolder is an elegant weapon for a more civilized age (the soviet era)
Sure. War is mostly waiting around for something unbelievably horrible and frightening to happen. You want to make sure you have snacks.
Also bold fucking move posting a martyr'd heroes badass edc.

I wish they had shown the front of his g-shock to identify the model, I have a "death to America" watch collection of pieces related to enemies of the US state and that would be a perfect fit
