I'm not sure why you're crashing out like this.

>>2591160
Let me let you into a little secret, nobody around you is 'normal', not your parents, not your mates, not your coworkers, not your neighbours. It's all just putting on appearances.

>>2591416
Even if this weren't true, the "normal" stuff that "normal" people do is fucked up on its own.

>>2591416
I think you're exaggerating the scale of people being non-normal or confusing it with being fucked up. It's normal to be fucked up but not all fucked up people are normal.
>>2591426
I agree but I need normal peoples help anyhow.

Normal according to what axioms ? (inb4 the normal ones)

Why the hell should Japan be in it? They're no more powerful than UK, Germany, etc.

The voting would go better. Right now 3/5 members vote western, this new setup would be 2 western 2 global south and India that does its own thing and acts like a swing vote

The US needs Japan as an unsinkable ACC.

check the sources lol, you're reading fanfiction from someone who expected people to come to the opposite conclusion as you. even the "allegations" are nowhere to be found

No, the 1993 thing was real. It's the 1990's CIA program that ended up with, uh…

shenanigans that they want you to forget about.

It's literally like the Iraq WMD crap - they sold chemical weapons to Saddam themselves, so the lie was rooted in something.

>Is there any truth to the claim that Maduro's government is involved in drug trafficking?
Let's put it a different way. There is illegal drug trade pretty much everywhere and yuppies and liberals will make a market from it. Let's answer the question as the USA poses it, without doing half the work for their propaganda rephrasing the assumptions and implications:

Venezuela is a suicidal enemy of the US state because SHOSHULISM. Maduro is the unelected, unpopular leader of a police state with no popular mandate, now or ever, just the same as Chavez. This Venezuelan state is economically in ruins thanks to SHOSHULISM because SHOSHULISTS hate prosperity and worship death and intentionally impose privations on everyone at the point of a gun because their are pure evil and insane, not US sanctions.

Also, Maduro is the head of a criminal organization comprising Tren de Aragua and Cartel de Los Soles among others. The first one isn't a street gang, it's a macro criminal enterprise comprising hundreds of thousands if not millions of lumpenproles specifically dedicated to migrating to the USA and becoming a burden and vandalizing the place, at the orders of Maduro. Or spying. Or becoming plants in the political system. Or just being lumpen and poor at the USA… at Maduro's orders.
This is not a migration flow caused by the brutal economic war imposed upon Venezuela by the USA and it's allies. It is a state mandated effort to "invade" and undermine the USA of A. Or you can forget all of that and they can also be innocent victims fleeing a police state and for no particular material reasons, if the gusano vote is in need.

And Cartel of the Suns isn't a (documented) CIA deal with the pre-Chavez government in the pattern of "War on Drugs" DEA/cartel collaboration:'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel_of_the_Suns
>The term Cartel of the Suns was first used in 1993 as a journalistic label following a political scandal involving Venezuelan military officials who were implicated in a CIA plot to smuggle cocaine into the United States in order to infiltrate Colombian cartels.[9] The term was inspired by the "soles" (sun emblems) on VePost too long.

Guys, you don't understand. There was a metal gear onboard.
And oil.

The go to for these things is to namedrop a bunch of people and financial crimes to imply some sort of corruption. Rather than the origin of those financial crimes being "Bypassing US sanctions.". unless it goes to Iran or somewhere else the USAnos automatically recognize as a source of evil that preventing trade with is automatically a good thing to do.

USA: RSF urges Puerto Rico governor to veto bill that would strip public's access to information
Rushed through Puerto Rico’s legislature in October without the opportunity for a public hearing, SB63 adds several bureaucratic steps to the process for requesting information. The bill was passed by the House in November and the governor must sign or veto it by January 4, 2026. Without any action, the bill automatically becomes law. On December 8, RSF and a coalition of 12 other civil society groups sent a letter to the governor urging her to veto the bill.

Pentagon Weighed Sending Boat Strike Survivors to Salvadoran Prison to Avoid Defending Bombings in Court
The goal, the officials said, was to avoid trying boat strike survivors in US courts, where the discovery process would compel the Trump administration—which has offered no concrete evidence to support its claims that the targeted vessels were carrying drugs—to provide legal justification for attacks that experts say are illegal.

Republicans unveil health care plan to counter Democratic effort to extend ACA subsidies
The proposal would do away with the enhanced tax credits, and instead take the extra money from those tax credits and put it into health savings accounts for those who purchase bronze-level or "catastrophic" plans on the ACA exchanges. Republicans say this will help Americans pay for out-of-pocket costs.

993 - From the Columbia River to the Sea feat. Andrew Hudson (12/8/25) (Chapo Trap House)
Andrew Hudson of E1 returns to talk about a grab bag of recent news: Marie Glusenkamp Perez’s war on pinnipeds, Alex Karp’s tweaked-out media hits, and another vaccine on the RFK’s chopping block. We then turn to Milo Yiannopoulos, who just recently made the equally outrageous claims that Charlie Kirk is still alive and Benny Johnson is actually gay. Finally, Tarantino’s unbearable public persona, the Ellison-Zaslav war over Warner Bros.’ future, and a lot of praise for a recent genre movie.

Unite and Untie Healthcare
We all know the story. Someone gets furious at the behavior of a health insurance company. Perhaps they are exceptionally irate at the words and actions that have come from the CEO and other leaders in the company. And then the moment of truth occurs and they take action. By this I mean, a group of shareholders of United Healthcare filed suit in May of this year against the company. This action was in response to a drop in shareholder value of around 22% after the death of their CEO. The shareholders were angry and felt they’d been misled when the company indicated that there would be no change in their profit forecast after this event. However, the suing shareholders distinctly believe that UHC started approving a tiny bit more care in response to their CEO’s death. This harmed their finances, they say, and in a fit that can only be solved through litigation, they went after the company. In this case, the bottom line and health of those shareholders’ finances is inversely proportional to the health of the bag holders who dismally have UHC insurance. You see, the rules are that you pay through the nose for high premiums and just wither away if you get sick. It’s a poor tax. You don’t get to ask them to fulfill their end of the bargain.

You're gonna have to tldr bud because I'd honestly rather neck myself.

Carr is a psychopath who would perform for Hitler given the chance, and has already performed for both Kahanist Zionists and Saudi Royals

I think beyond a few strategic chokepoints STC aren't going to attack Houthis that much, despite the rethoric. it'd be costly and way too risky.
Houthis's victory is strategically interesting for them
Already Houthis have essentially no chance of beating the STC any time soon, even if they take out the gov.
If houthis take out the Gov, they get rid of one of the main ennmies of the STC
But most importantly, in the eyes of the west, the STC would become extremly vital, they cannot afford to have Yemen fall under an anti-western government as it's one of the most strategic location on the planet as it could absolutly stop trade from going trought the Suez Canal. For now, the gov served the role of this, but if they're out the picture, western countries will have no choice but to recognize the STC. The talk about annexing the North are much saber rattling to appeace the west and also just in case the Houthis collapse, but they aren't a real serious idea.

If no-one can explain to me, with evidence, that South Yemen is a socialist force, then unfortunately I don't care.

>>2591019
>Indeed, Brigadier General Tareq Saleh has claimed that this offensive was to unite the millitary theater in order to prepare to fight the Houthis.
who is this guy allied with? the saudi backed government?

>>2591261
>Already Houthis have essentially no chance of beating the STC any time soon, even if they take out the gov.
why?

>>2591352
Instead of a corrupt and hollowed government with a shitty Saudi support, they are against an army in the middle of a huge national-secessionist movement that took most of the country in a week with huge support from UAE. Iran and Hezbollah are weakened, STC control mosts ports and roads toward Houthis territory.
Houthis are taking a defensive stance and isolating themselves: today they detonated the roads towards STC areas rather than looking for a fight

Matx is so outdated and that is not an insult. He died in 1883.

>>2591407
It would be interesting if he was resurrected. He would debunk every "marxist." Ithink he hated "Marxists" in his own lifetime.
