Bro trusted the Russians too much. Why the hell would you trust the Russians?

Hopefully not too late, but Benes Ayo "Black Lenin" made a video discussing what happened to Bentley. Benes lashes out pretty strongly.
The video was posted a week ago.
Here's a quick summary, in the video it's pretty wordy, don't feel like translating everything in detail.
>Ayo Benes is upset about Bentley being killed
>blames it on the 5th brigade of the DPR aka Oplot Brigade (there were "rumours" prior that it might be a Buryat tank brigade)
>Benes says he served in this very brigade in 2017 and it was pretty normal back then
>however after Zakharchenko (leader of DPR at the time) got assassinated in 2018, some parts of the brigade fell into disarray, alcohol and drug use became common among military personnel, with intoxicated soldiers commiting all sorts of crime
>some of the leaders of the brigade committed fraud and racket in major towns
>Benes assumes that the situation probably didn't change much since then
>says Bentley may have been killed because he saw all the dirty deeds the leaders of the DPR did there and the corrupt system just couldn't cope with a righteous person pointing all of that out
>Benes ends up cursing the russian govenrment, political and military figureheads, including Putin, and the russia mass media for going against the people in an attempt to hide yet another case of a proud people's warrior getting killed by the pawns of the system

Ok glowie

Worthless conversation because it discusses the official diplomatic actions of peripheral countries trying to skirt sanctions as being some kind of indicator that the global south condemns the war in Ukraine. China doesn't even condemn or condone the war, people act like they can just flip the communism switch but they are still a developing (actually this time, not just a ruse to refer to undeveloped, maldeveloped areas). The major crisis triggered by this war was the US secondary sanctions. Don't forget sanctions are a global siege not just on one country but its trading partners. The periphery didn't even have time after Covid to get its shit together before the war hit.
You can't view diplomatic actions as being a barometer of opinion in a government or a country that's retarded, you gay Nazi.

Don't they need a robotics mechanic on sight for whenever these machines fuck up? That just means the few employees there have EVEN MORE leverage should they threaten to organize, strike, etc.

good point

i just genuinely don't know anything about zimbabwe, but you don't seem to either
from a quick glance it seems what ruined the economy was expropriating landlords and enriching himself and his crony clique instead of giving the land to the peasants

>>1838603
And where did you get that from?

You complete idiot. Wikipedia is the least reliable when it comes to historic, political and economic affairs, especially when they are contentious for the West. Corruption is a general cop out answer when it comes to explaining why the African countries are doing bad economically. That‘s not to say corruption isn‘t a problem, it is, but the West seeks to distance themselves by claiming it‘s solely corruption. The actual answer is that economic conditions and relations brought about by the West keep African countries unable to compete in production, so they are left selling their resources for cheap, which puts them on a current account deficit, to which they eventually respond by accepting credit loans to ameliorate.

>find out their names
>look up their address up in the phone book
it's not hard

best to do such things in a high vis jacket for safety

I doubt most Zoom Zooms even know what a phonebook is, least ever saw one.

they used to publish and distribute phone books for free until like the 00s. I always heard they were removed so stalkers wouldn't have resources but personally I think they were removed so you couldn't effectively combat spam callers and glowies.

I used to see cop cars in suburban driveways. Idk if that's still common but guys used to just drive their station vehicles home. Incidentally I also saw some houses with school buses. I wonder if it's a regional thing in the USA.

>The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during an expected Israeli assault.

Lol, nice. This is literally what they did in Bosnia.

>>1838825
Well know doubt see similar mass graves to the hospitals around these 'check' points'.

Washington Backed a Coup Against South Korean Democracy
Toward the end of last year, a South Korean military strongman achieved a rare posthumous feat. Chun Doo-hwan, who ruled the country with an iron fist for much of the 1980s, saw off the challenge of Napoleon Bonaparte at the Korean box office. After its November release, the film 12.12: The Day, which depicts a period of nine hours on December 12, 1979, during the first of Chun’s two coups, comfortably outperformed Ridley Scott’s mediocre yet world-conquering epic. By Christmas, the gripping political thriller had sold more than ten million tickets in a country of 51.7 million people. The success of the film was partly driven by fears about South Korea’s current president Yoon Suk-yeol, the former prosecutor general who ascended to the presidency in 2022. Yoon has been using a cabal of prosecutors to chip away at democracy and solidify his hard-right rule in ways that are reminiscent of Chun’s rule. Chun mobilized a clique of officers in a rolling coup that first seized control of the military hierarchy and then took over the government after massacring hundreds of young protesters in the city of Gwangju. The movie is now available on global streaming platforms. 12.12: The Day deserves to reach a wide audience as an hour-by-hour depiction of how right-wing, antidemocratic putsches can succeed.

CP of Venezuela, PCV on corruption scheme in Pdvsa: President Nicolás Maduro must render accounts to the country
Last Saturday, April 13, during a demonstration, Maduro proposed the reform of the Constitution to incorporate "the penalty of life imprisonment for corruption, life imprisonment for corruption, life imprisonment for treason and serious crimes against the people".

Also every Western airforce is actually having massive issues with fast jet pilots now. The boomers are retiring from airline jobs so the pay there is much better without all the military bullshit. This compounds the issue with training these pilots costing 5-10 million USD (depending on jet).

>>1838417
the USAF has a pilot shortage from what I've heard

>>1838418
It's literally everyone. The airline industry for decades was subsidised by all the Cold War jet pilots. But with the force drawdowns in the '90s and declining generation cohorts there isn't enough jet pilots to take the place of the Cold War boomers as they retire.

There was/is also fuckery over the last ten years with the assumption that drones would obsolete pilots in the near future. And that human pilots would be needed in smaller numbers to fly F-35 "motherships" coordinating UCAVs.

Yep. Again, they have a point with that 'double jeopardy', e.g. the German police Nazi chats were found because one of the members was being searched for having CSAM, and many cases of CSAM discovery are when searching the phones of arrested Nazis. They're not wrong that it's a factor. But that doesn't explain the rest of the picture, and the rest of the picture is very important and apparent.

dude, i didnt read however you are wrong, you are just wrong as fuck hosest. I get where you mind is right now, but give it a fw more years or a decade. Its never wrong to disicple your children no matter what the state or society says.I do not have kids may self but i'm an uncle of many, i see fail parenting every day in the houses pf my sisters, it breaks my heart because i cann't dictate the rules.

Kid are so annoing sometimes, really they deserve a fucking smack, just sending one of them to their room causes even more melt downs and stampping of feet on the floor, that sort of behaviour was never a thing when i was kid holy shnit we get totally ass beaten if we acted like that. The is lack of displine is effect our towns and cites, then when these over grown kids are arrested by police it only gets worse…

with the amount of shit posts coming through this board, I can't blame someone for skimming and immediately realising someone is so damn wrong they don't need to read further.

>Stalin genocide of Crimean Tatars
Actually:
>But at the first victorious uprising of the French proletariat, which Louis Napoleon is striving with all his might to conjure up, the Austrian Germans and Magyars will be set free and wreak a bloody revenge on the Slav barbarians. The general war which will then break out will smash this Slav Sonderbund and wipe out all these petty hidebound nations, down to their very names.
>The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only of reactionary classes and dynasties, but also of entire reactionary peoples. And that, too, is a step forward.

Chad Engels would have supported this progressive act by glorious Stalin! /s

>Persecution of Arab Jews started right after Nakba as retaliation tho
It definitely accelerated after the Nakba but this isn't accurate. I think the baddest pogrom in Iraq was the Farhud which was in 1941. Like… one thing pro-Israel people will say is that a majority of Israeli Jews are not actually European, they're from predominantly Muslim countries. And that's true. But the dark side of this story which they don't mention is that these people are (generalizing a bit) are the base of the right-wing vote in Israel and are militaristic and into MIGA for real. Really veering into fascism. This gives you a sense of it (one the rapper's parents are emigres from Yemen and Iran).

>>1837640
>people working in jobs that have to be done in a particular place (ex: extractive industries like mining, farming, ranching) are more right wing than people with jobs that can done anywhere (ex: services, retail, etc.).
This is also a very smart and materialist point. Extractive industries located in particular places (or land) can only be subdivided so many times until it's worthless. Point is, "we" keep possession of that stuff and foreigners, outsiders, etc. can "get out."

>workers who earn enough to have reserves and become petit bourgeois are more reactionary than proletarians
regurgitating marx but more retarded

>>1838297
most extractive workers aren't petit bourgeois. There are geospatial aspects to the relations of the means of production not just hierarchical ones. see: https://archive.ph/91Z5c

I remember a story about Brazilian Twitter being flooded with pro Bolsonaro bots around the election time. I saw it myself, it was bizarre you couldn't say anything about him without them flooding into the thread.

Lula doesn't have a majority in Congress but he compensates for that with political savviness, his government has already passed more bills than any other in this time frame.

His approval rating will probably oscillate around the 45–55 range but it will never fall below that.

Oh yea the post spilt might endanger things

>>1838260
Bills that people want? More importantly his supporters? I am not holding my breath.

He is already at 45% approval rating. What is the threshold for you to change your mind?

>>1838215
This was a constant I think.
