>Why is this general such a steaming shit heap
Leftists in general at least in the West have an obsession with their own intelligence and it makes them incapable of getting along with eachother when every Leftist thinks he's the smartest most ideologically flawless lefty since Lenin. The idea of "agreeing to disagree" just seemingly doesn't exist in the western Left. Everything has to be a fight to the death.

Also, this site has really poor moderation.

Syrian interim leader issues decree affirming Kurdish rights as tensions escalate

Source: XinhuaEditor: huaxia2026-01-17 04:56:45

DAMASCUS, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) – Syrian interim leader Ahmad al-Sharaa on Friday issued a decree affirming the cultural, linguistic and civic rights of Syrian Kurds, as tensions rise between the authorities and Kurdish-led forces in Aleppo and its eastern countryside.

According to state news agency SANA, the decree underscores that Syrian Kurds are an "integral and authentic" component of the Syrian nation and recognizes Kurdish as a national language.

The decree commits the state to protecting cultural and linguistic diversity, allows Kurdish to be taught in schools in Kurdish-majority areas as an optional subject or cultural-educational activity, and prohibits ethnic or linguistic discrimination or incitement.

It restores citizenship to Kurds left stateless by the 1962 census in Hasakah province and designates Nowruz, a festival marking the first day of spring on March 21 and widely celebrated by Kurds, as a paid national holiday.


The announcement coincides with heightened tensions between the authorities and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) around Aleppo.

US urges SDF pullback from eastern Aleppo, say sources

The United States has asked the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to withdraw their remaining fighters from parts of the eastern Aleppo countryside, but the Kurdish-led group has rejected the request, regional sources familiar with the matter told Middle East Eye.

Syrian and SDF forces have been shelling each other near Dayr Hafir, where the SDF controls its last remaining foothold on the western bank of the Euphrates River. The clashes mark a sharp escalation following months of uneasy calm between the two sides.

After a months-long ceasefire, Syrian government forces earlier this month launched an operation to expel SDF-linked internal security units from Aleppo’s al-Ashrafiyah and Sheikh Maqsoud neighbourhoods, accusing them of killing civilians with sniper and mortar fire.

A deal subsequently brokered between local mediators allowed dozens of Kurdish fighters to evacuate, and residents have since begun returning to their homes.

Several regional sources told MEE that Damascus carried out the Aleppo operation after receiving a green light from Washington.

Trump administration delays plan to withhold wages for student loan borrowers in default
The Education Department announced Friday involuntary collections on federal student loans will remain on hold as the agency finalizes new repayment plans. The shift reverses course on earlier plans to restart wage garnishments this month after a pandemic-era pause.

Why Keir Starmer Went to Bat for Israeli Football Hooligans
Three months ago, the West Midlands police force decided to exclude fans of the Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending a match against Aston Villa in Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city. They justified the move on the grounds that a violent element within the club’s support base posed a threat to public safety. The British political establishment has responded with a protracted frenzy of hysteria and bad faith, culminating in a successful push by the Labour home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, to oust the chief constable of the West Midlands police, Craig Guildford. Mahmood also wants to bring local police forces under Home Office control — a move that will hand Nigel Farage’s hard-right Reform party a vital tool if it manages to form a government in the coming years. When the controversy first erupted back in October, Jonathan Liew of the Guardian observed that it was “a fascinating case study into the instincts of our political and media class,” betraying their tolerant or downright sympathetic attitude toward the virulent racism expressed by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. The development of the saga since then has been even more instructive.

This interview of Ayatollah Khomeini by Oriana Fallaci, after the Islamic Republic has started suppressing leftists and *just* before the hostage crisis, is one of the most jaw-dropping acts of journalism ever — for the frankness of both parties alone

https://www.nytimes.com/1979/10/07/archives/an-interview-with-khomeini.html

Take a look

The State Precedes the Revolution

Under Khamenei’s reign, the Islamic-Republican project has been completely and unredeemably wrecked; a world-historical failure not only immiserating tens of millions of Iranians but whose internal failures have allowed the imperial shatterzone to expand in West Asia. It is reasonable to daydream about overcoming this – but the point is to overcome it with something better – not state collapse. Despite the sense that some finality is in the air, it should be clear that we’ve collectively made zero progress towards this goal.

It is understandable, after decades of decay, to long for a clean rupture, a moment when history resets and justice arrives already assembled. But politics does not work that way. States are not wished into existence, nor imported intact from memory or exile; they are forged slowly, painfully, from within society itself. Revolutions do not crown kings; they midwife states. Where no organized hierarchy is struggling to be born, no sovereign can rule – only ruins can accumulate. Iran’s tragedy today is not only that its ruling order is failing, but that no emergent alternative order is cohering in its place. Until that changes, the fall of the Islamic Republic would not mark an end, but a beginning of a far darker and more uncertain chapter.

Israeli troops in Syria stole a herd of around 250 goats and smuggled them into the occupied West Bank, according to Israeli media.

Israel’s Channel 12, citing information from police authorities, said the incident took place two weeks ago.

According to the report, a battalion from the Golan Brigade, which operates in the occupied Golan Heights, was conducting an operation in Syria when it identified the herd belonging to Syrian farmers.

Soldiers reportedly loaded the goats on to trucks that appeared to have been prepared in advance, and initially brought them into Israeli territory.

They were later transported to a number of farms in illegal outposts in the West Bank.

The Israeli military told Channel 12 that as a result of the incident, the commander of the team was dismissed from service, the company commander was reprimanded, and the entire team was suspended for a period of time.

The incident became known the morning after the smuggling took place when farmers in the occupied Golan Heights noticed dozens of goats wandering around the streets.

It was reported to the Israeli army, prompting an investigation.
