forgot to mention oil prices also going down due to deregulation, and probably the futures market is fucked until there's been some assessment of venezuelan resistance against the yanks.

also worth unpacking are the "shadow fleet" accusations. nowhere near enough receipts on that one. I mention this because the other big "shadow fleet" story is about a nominally cameroonian vessel that carried a shipment between cuba and venezuela, doggedly sneaking through the seppo blockade to deliver to beleagured venezuela. rather a heroic act.

https://gcaptain.com/sanctioned-russian-tanker-seahorse-reaches-venezuela-following-earlier-u-s-navy-blockade/

transporting russian oil isn't illegal: there aren't UNSC sanctions in place so people can buy and sell as much of the shit as they want provided their vessel and the party they're selling to aren't bound by autonomous sanctions.

the west has barred its own vessels from a huge chunk of the global oil trade, their shipping companies are liquidating vessels. all the buyers are buying them to move crude from russia to to the third world. this was inevitable. these ships can't be retrofitted to do anything else.

you can't expect people to stop needing electricity or petrochemicals just because they're brown or poor. maybe the russian state bought some of these ships, but it's just as likely that affected states bought them, or the western shipping companies sold them to their own shell companies.

>>2583179
right, and the senegalese people can stand to eat the cost of missing shipments and the ecological fallout of fuck knows how much spilled crude?

>>2583173
Well, sanctions are not supposed to push ruble up, I can tell you that much.

>>2583199
I don't think the rouble is going up as much as the dollar is going down.

the trump tarriffs, trump recession, AI bubble, and general political instability are big fuckups. they're also experiencing capital flight.

trump triggered massive divestment, but not through boycotts or activism. the US used to be the place where foreign capital stashed money risk free. trump increased the financial risk of parking capital in the US, which forced funds to hedge against them, which forced selloffs in US markets, which further increases risk etc. etc.

as long the US is IMF's currency, no other currency is set to go down slower than the US. I am yet to find a currency that has outperformed the US during the last 20 years. I am talking about normal-day use currency, and not some weird ass currency used by some specific elites inside a country like the Chilean Unit of Account.

NVKETRVKE (a truth nuke about nukes)

any updates?

So the USA is just gonna do a blockade and scare the money until the Venezuelan economy collapses for good?

IDK how the USA expects to implement all that Machado stuff. When the people they intend to put in charge are SO incompetent, that they couldn't even get a mandate with the full support of the USA waging economic war and and now military as well.

And then presumably they intend to do a "decommunization" plan for Chavismo as well. And deport "remigrate" that ~1M Venezuelans back, why not. And this is all going to happen without the military backing the gusano regime or without having to spill rivers of blood in lieu of the popular mandate the gusanos clearly don't have… and will have even less once the bombing starts.

It's not that the left worships a certain color (or shade for that matter)

Campists are unable to see beyond capitalism, all they're good for is being useful idiots for capitalists. Many leftists are directly backed by said capitalists who cry for 'reform', in this historical epoch the non-western capitalists found their alibi in 'multipolarism' (implying the world hasn't been one for the past century)

I question how any westerner could worship the 'east' when it's a concept invented by orientalists? They don't. Western campists don't see brown workers as humans. Try being brown and criticizing your wholesome dictatorship of the bourgeoisie that slaughters and oppresses you on the daily. The 'color revolution' witch hunt is more evident that westerners don't view us as subjects of history, we are mere conceptions in their grand moral crusade.

Just like the colonial orientalist, the western campist cannot perceive class. For him the 'east' is a monolith with no internal contradictions.

To add to this you just have to look at their new found veneration of Burkina Faso's mercenary-backed Junta

Or their spineless defence of the neoliberal imperialist Russian regime

It was never about color

OMG

The zionist-adjacent loops you are drawing to pass for anti-Israel pro-palestine chauvinism for something that can much more easily be explained:

By the simple fact that indeed, Zionism is mostly rooted (other than Israel) in western, specifically NATO and allied places, and therefore the Palestinian question is necessarily more present and, like everything, warped by the liberal spin on it.

>>2582431
>Plus news reporting, journalists making that very bias will write about one more than the other. So it compounds multiplicatively.
>the actual reason is that israel exercises a lot of power in the us and the internet and global media in general are all american or downstream from american media
>>2582780
>As you said events like the Malian army being assraped by jihadists or the killings in Sudan are just business as usual in the American mind.
The media can shape what's "important" and what isn't, but it also responds to what gets attention as well because different news outlets compete with each other for traffic. I can tell you that anything involving Africa gets a fraction of the traffic compared to other conflicts. People see anything involving Africa in a headline and they keep scrolling. Now the underlying reasons for that might be a racial bias, but you'll hear Israel's internet soldiers say "but what about Africa, doesn't the Western left care about them" and okay sure but it's not like they give a crap about Africans either.

It might also be a bit different in France. Large parts of Africa speak French. The coups in the Sahel, which were also anti-French, got a lot more attention in France, but in the U.S. it's just another group of military officers.

>It's easier to mobilise around Palestine because we've had a lot of practice, due to having the last 80 years to organise around doing it.
>>2583101
>Its because organization relating to Palestine has been working for decades, where as Sudan/Myanmar is an issue that only exploded in the past few years.
Yeah, I think this is a big one. There's a whole organization around it that's been around for many years. It has been shaped by the influence of Palestinian diaspora intellectuals going back decades.

Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Its because Jesus comes from Palestine and westerners, even "atheist" ones are still brainwashed by christpoopiany

Conservatives never gave a shit about drug trafficking it’s all just an excuse to stop brown people from moving next door.

I have not been paying attention to this shit at all.
What the fuck do you mean they voted for the narco party.

>>2583145
Basically the party is known for being the standard "christian traditionalist" neoliberal bullshit party that has leader who litterally were envolved in massive drug trafficking operations and are crittically with the narcos. They were massively involved in a coup that toppled down the centre-left goverment by the party mentioned in the thread by occupying with "private militias". I have honduran friends and what they pretty much told me about is that these private militias are more powerful and big than the goverment itself and are obviously owned by the oligarchs of the country.

>Because there is no boots on the ground, americans will only start caring if one of them gets blown up

this. americans become anti war when they lose and get PTSD. as long as it's asymmetrical slaughter they don't care.

t. american who can look around and see this behavior

"Anti-war", no matter if it's coming from the left or right, is retarded. There would not be the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Cuba without war. Violence is the ultimate source of where all power is derived. Shit doesn't get done without a few brokeuyghs

>>2583060

>oh so you're against murder huh? well what about if someone tried to rape you huh? what then?
Obviously there's a fucking difference between imperialist excursions (the vast vast majority of American wars) and wars for independence/class liberation.
