>President Bill Clinton (1998) In December 1998, Clinton launched a major four-day bombing campaign against Iraq (Operation Desert Fox) citing Saddam Hussein's refusal to cooperate with UN weapons inspectors.
>The Scandal: At that very moment, the House of Representatives was debating his impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The airstrikes began three days before the full House impeachment vote.
>The Accusation: Critics, including many Republicans, immediately accused Clinton of "wagging the dog" to change the news cycle and rally the country around the flag.
>The Difference: The operation had a clear, pre-existing foreign policy rationale (Iraqi non-compliance) and was supported by allies like the UK. While the timing is deeply suspicious and the political benefit was undeniable, it is not proven that the sole motive was to distract from impeachment. It exists in a grey area.

>President Richard Nixon (Early 1970s): While Nixon didn't start a new war, he was accused of prolonging the Vietnam War for political reasons.

>President James K. Polk (1846): The Mexican-American War is often cited as a potential diversion. Polk aggressively provoked a conflict to seize territory (fulfilling his campaign promise of "Manifest Destiny"). While not about a personal scandal like Epstein, it was accused of being a war of aggression for political and expansionist gain.

according to deepseek no, we are moving into new territory

…Is that the seal of the state of florida on his yarmukle?

Also there's no better propaganda for Socialism than a historically disliked Congress voting to denounce it.

I think you are on the wrong website.

What is it with Western leftoids and endless moralism honestly?
Here's what engels said about the "Downtrodden"
>The lumpenproletariat, this scum of the decaying elements of all classes, which establishes headquarters in all the big cities, is the worst of all possible allies. It is an absolutely venal, an absolutely brazen crew. If the French workers, in the course of the Revolution, inscribed on the houses: Mort aux voleurs! (Death to the thieves!) and even shot down many, they did it, not out of enthusiasm for property, but because they rightly considered it necessary to hold that band at arm’s length. Every leader of the workers who utilises these gutter-proletarians as guards or supports, proves himself by this action alone a traitor to the movement.

>Multiculturalism in how it's played out in Europe, like much of European elite politics, is this desperate inferiority complex and elite subjugation to US culture. The average European elite genuinely believes that the average European is lesser than the average American. This is one of the main reasons they so rabidly smashed through cultural Neoliberalism as well, to try turn Europeans into Americans.
They lost 2 world wars. Maybe 3 if you also count the Cold War. Maybe Euros are actually inferior to Americans.

>Estonia has 800k reservists.
Estonia has a population of 1,3 million.
Their real reserve is like 200k. War time military 40k.

I'm still not sure if this guy is just a really shill or genuinely that retarded.

Conspiratard theory lite (confidence 80%): The US is dangling negotiation carrots again to try to get Ukraine through the winter and soften the Kremlin's approach, hoping that Putin will return to "we don't want to risk spoiling the negotiations" mode instead of wreaking more havoc on the 750kV gear.

Conspiratard theory heavy (confidence 15%): After the attempted hit on Shoigu, the whole corruption scandal is a ruse designed to persuade the Kremlin that it doesn't need to respond in kind against the Zelensky regime because that regime is going to implode any moment now (even though so far it's just picking out some minions who've been allowed to flee the country).

I dont think this diplomatic victory was ever meant to be implemented. The purpose was to cause rift between Trump regime and Ukraine.

A proud labor gift from the creators of the Gangwon-do spirit to the Glorious Party Congress.
Amidst the vigorous spirit of all the people to welcome the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea as a great victory and glorious congress, the entire country was thrilled by the meaningful occasion of the completion of the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in Kangwon Province, which had been resolved before the Party.

The Hoeyang County People's Power Plant, which was completed following the Icheon, Munchon, Sepo, Pyonggang, and Goseong County People's Power Plants, is the last of the six hydroelectric power plants to be built, which the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un has set as a key task that must be built in Gangwon Province to develop the local economy and improve the material and cultural life of the people, upholding the important task of continuing and vigorously pushing forward the construction of small and medium-sized hydroelectric power plants.

With the completion of the construction of another power base that the province had anticipated during the five-year national economic development plan, Gangwon Province has gained a solid foundation for proudly writing a new history of prosperity alongside the era of local development, and has further strengthened its development potential to pioneer a more affluent life through its own strength.

The completion ceremony for the Hoeyang County People's Power Plant was held grandly on November 20th.

The completion ceremony was filled with the great pride and self-esteem of the people of Gangwon Province, who had built the valuable assets of revival with their own hands, confident in their own strength.

Comrade Kim Jong Un , General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, attended the completion ceremony.

As Comrade Kim Jong- un arrived at the completion ceremony venue, a storm of cheers of “Hurrah!” erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Speech:
The people of Hoeyang County and Gangwon Province, who stand here with the most honorable and proud memories of those truly difficult days!

Provincial Party Committee, provincial party organizations, and government officials!

Comrades!

It is truly a joyous occasion that the Hoeyang County People's Power Plant, another creation of the people of Gangwon Province, has been completed at a time when the entire nation is in turmoil, preparing for the brilliant unity of 2025, a year that will surely be recorded in history as a year of victory.

This is a valuable achievement in resolving the power problem of Gangwon Province, which has taken a great step forward in exploring and mobilizing hydropower resources tailored to the region's characteristics. It is also a meaningful result that demonstrates the self-reliance and boundless strength of the people of Gangwon Province, who have set a grand ideal and are moving forward without hesitation.

Today, I am truly moved to witness the changes of a new era in yet another part of our country and to come into close contact with the patriotic loyalty of the people of Gangwon Province.

Even beneath the towering peaks, on those mountains and ridges, there are countless traces of patience and struggle, and pure patriotic hearts shining like jewels. I cannot look at all of this indifferently.

Can't wait for North Korean socialist construction to be so advanced and deeply rooted in society, that they open-up like China and we can visit.

>>2568916
One of the western-facing tour companies (Young Pioneer Tours) are saying they might be back up for tours late this year/next year.
I'd like to visit properly though, yea, outside of Pyongyang and the tourist circuit. Even though that would probably be harmful to open up in such a way currently.

Trvke?

1. This is a Yemeni leader.
2. Russia and China de facto sided with NATO by abstaining and not vetoing the US plan (backed by Turkiye).

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: West Bank on verge of Third Intifada, anger will erupt like lava

• "The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms that an explosion in the occupied West Bank is imminent and that the outbreak of a comprehensive third Intifada is closer than ever. It stresses that the execution of the youth Amr al-Marbou and the child Sami Mashayikh in Kafr Aqab at dawn on Friday, along with the ongoing bloodshed and the unchecked violence of settler gangs killing and vandalizing across the West Bank, is the spark that will burn away any remaining illusions of calm, and that the accumulated Palestinian anger will erupt like molten lava against the occupation."

• "The Front explains that our people are confronting a monstrous entity led by a deviant criminal system that mixes megalomania with a sadistic delight in bloodshed. Its practices of burning, destruction, and targeting civilians reveal a deeply entrenched racist and fascist doctrine and a sick psychological structure embodied by a group of killers and deranged individuals who practice violence as a distorted human instinct."

• "The Front stresses that our people will not stand idly by in the face of this criminal sadism, and will not bow to organized state terrorism. The occupation is delusional if it believes escalating its crimes will bring calm—on the contrary, it will fuel an immense revolutionary energy that will impose a full-scale confrontation and turn the West Bank into a battlefield of attrition for the enemy and its settler hordes."

• "The Front issues a warning to the world that the continuation of this fascist entity has become a central hub of genocide and a grave threat to humanity as a whole. It calls on all free forces to besiege this criminal system through comprehensive boycott and removing its legitimacy, and to stop dealing with its leaders as a normal state, but rather as a rogue gang of murderers and enemies of human values. It affirms that stability in the region will only come through uprooting this occupation from its foundations."

Please tell me this is not real, the stuff about people believing genocide being wrong is bad

The Hurwitz thing is real. It's not a popular belief, but it is absolutely what zionists believe.

i mean, he did handle himself well, yea. And he isn't wrong the USA needs cracker-control. The initial shock 'oh shit they found my twitter account' definitely derailed him internally though. Is there a longer piece of this or was it just a short segment?

say it louder for the liberals in the back

I found a video on titkok with the same nominal purpose, trying to hide left positions under language conservatives will find palatable, and what the video was actually doing was trying to launder center, center-right positions (public option instead of single payer or public healthcare) by passing them as left wing, very insidious hall-of-mirrors shit. I wouldn't do this too much.

Of course the dumb workers would never come up with happyworkerism, they have to be educated by a smart student outsider.
