The United States Has Overused Its Sanctions Weapon Review of Chokepoints: How the Global Economy Became a Weapon of War by Edward Fishman (Elliott & Thompson, 2025)
Today we are accustomed to the use of economic sanctions as central tools of foreign policy. Many people may be surprised to discover, however, that this is actually a rather recent development. Sanctions used to be akin to a slap on the wrist — they would be used to target foreign leaders and their inner circles, making it harder for them to moor their yachts in the Mediterranean or purchase mansions in London. Now, of course, sanctions are among states’ most powerful weapons for waging economic warfare. In a new book, Chokepoints: How the Global Economy Became a Weapon of War, Edward Fishman describes how sanctions have been transformed over the past several decades. Fishman has worked in the State Department, the Department of Defense, and the Treasury, where he spent several years in the Terrorism and Financial Intelligence team designing sanctions on states like Iran. Chokepoints is accordingly an insider’s account of how the United States developed an armory of powerful sanctions based on its control over the world’s financial system — and how the overuse of these tools ended up undermining their effectiveness, ultimately compromising US hegemony itself.

Celebrate VE Day, and remember the lessons of the anti-fascist war
POLITICIANS use Victory in Europe Day, the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender, as an excuse for militarist bombast. We must not let this pass. May 8 1945 marks the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism. Communist Party of Great Britain leader Harry Pollitt called it “the greatest victory of all time.” What may have begun as an inter-imperialist war had become by 1945 a people’s war, mobilising the whole working class in the effort to defeat the most murderous regime in history, Nazi Germany. It was an internationalist war, the heroism of the armies that fought the Nazis equalled by that of the partisans and resistance fighters who fought and died across occupied Europe. The anti-fascist coalition gave birth to the United Nations — to join which, originally, countries needed to declare war on Nazi Germany — and,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>it would be the Chinese fighter jet’s first known air-to-air kill recorded in live combat. It would also mark the first loss of Rafale aircraft in combat.

Inside me there are two wolves: the first tells me that the only coherent Maoist position is that imperialist proxy wars are bad, the second tells me that the world is at peace when single-engine fighter supremacy is maintained.

Like dammit the J-10C is a beautiful bird.

Quick question, OP

Was the Sandy Hook shooting real?

It was, there's no need to take Alex Jones seriously, its just for fun.

You shouldn't, he was posted just for fun.

Cured from what? He's a kook, a clown like you write.

fraudulent thread boooo, left hand path more like thumbs down path👎

proto-science magic is cool though, actual materialism

There's nothing bourgeois about LGBT+ people.
What's bourgeois is the way that capitalism is co-opting the identity to reduce it to a marketing demographic.

Why isn't this thread on >>>/LGBT/ ?

I think that most students aren't so mind-poisoned that they thing that syndicates are bad, but I don't think they see organizing workers/workplaces as way of fighting, and relying only on already politically active syndicates isn't going to get you far because they've already been trying and failing to improve workers rights for decades.

>>2256363
It’s funny to see people accuse the protests of being organized by left wing radicals and anarchists. Would be kind of cool to see the PRL get some recognition

>>2256373
Actually, the talking point now is that the majority of students in blockade are good (they mean liberal) students but that a small minority of Khmer Rouges are derailing the whole movement.
There's also that Vucic's "bolshevik plenumers" quote from a few weeks ago.

its real in the sense that the danger they pose absolutely exists. for years theyve been grooming children into harming themselves, now theyve branched out into real world mass attacks via shit like soyjak. its a larp in the sense that i highly doubt they actually believe in the metaphysics of it all, they just want to dress up their misanthropy in an edgy mask.

>>2256524
the old guard DOES believe in it, I know from (personal contacts), they do-do the rituals, chants Diabolus, etc. Specially the TOBL guys.
TOB is spiritually suicidal; they want to be POSSESSED by the "dark gods" and want decay and rot, not the Emperium. 736\cvlt\COM, are shitposting.
MKY and NLM are nihilists and misanthropes; genuine ideological, but not esoteric.( also, it seems after all, FSB made up MKY, and it was just a couple of skinhead schizos killing homeless, and never a big thing irl)

> I also find it interesting that both O9A and Joy of Satan appear to have an ambivalent relationship with Anton Lavey and his philosophy. It puts me in mind of how Mark Passio is always saying that the Church of Satan is just a recruiting tool for the real Satanists to find new members for higher level dark occult groups.
I was interested in joining ToS maybe 10 years ago. I got as far as downloading the application form.
The impression I got wasn't that one group was a front for another ,more sinister group. What tends to happen instead that the disgruntled second in command splits and schisms from an earlier group. For example, Aquino split from the Church of Satan. And I think there was an attempt by the guy in charge of the Order of the Trapezoid (a "pylon" within the Temple of Set) to take the order independent. Though nothing happened in the end.
The same thing happens in political groups. I think i read somewhere that some donut shop worker unions went independent from the IWW, after being originally part of them. Same thing.

>Is it possible that the law abiding "good" Satanists like CoS, ToS and Satanic Temple are just the front organizations for the real agenda, characterized by the "sinister" Satanists like O9A, ToB and Atomwaffen?
One Setian take I read was that O9A are the "Dread Pirate Roberts" of Satanism. Something that people take on the mantle of, without there being any real substance behind it.
I don't know if that isn't missing the point of it. Maybe 09anon from the other thread can comment, but I thought it was more of an "open source" project. Anarchistic ,in form anyway, in that anyone can start a "nexion."
An also, you'd think that if you believe in the metaphysics, and have an occult method from books or whatever, you don't really need to join a group anyway.
The various modern Satanic groups seems to have common roots. The trapezoid seems to be a common point of reference, so they're all influenced by Lavey to a degree.

>Assad defeated in under a week
Putin told Assad to cut a deal with the Rojavans and federalise Syria. This is hardly his fault.
>Trump gets Ukrainian mineral deal
You’re not seriously cheering that imperialists are winning to spite Putin right?
<but Putin is an imperialist
Who is going to get beaten by imperialists and not a true anti imperialist force. Excuse me if I view that as a phyrric victory.
>Pakistan forces India to shower
What does this have to do with Russia?
>Netanyahu invited to May 8th
He’s been invited there for years now- and last year he wasn’t invited at all (albeit he had a representative). Besides, Putin has also had representatives from Germany and the USA attend. What’s your point?
>he’s a reactionary
In other news: Pope declared Catholic.

He also cut a deal with Erdogan that allowed the terrorist enclave in Idlib to keep existing.

>he Democrats will try to continue the Ukraine War at all costs
So does every liberal and conservative. Why do you trust nazis who voted in for more countries to join Nato so much in "not" wanting to continue a war? Because they are paid by Cucktin? They are still for every other genocide and war the US commences. Hell they want more of them.

I don't give a shit what you rejoice about or not.

All Germans should be exterminated. That includes babies

I don't like AfD for obvious reasons but they were the only party that could realistically do something against the suicidal immigration policies of the globalist establishment (even though I don't agree with their solution) and EU authoritarianism.
If they get illegalized then there's only BSW. They could reasonably get a fair share of AfD's working class votes in the east but from what I've seen the party is very small and somewhat incompetent so I doubt they would be able to successfully take advantage of that situation.

Zisters lose again
Epic fail
