Trump ally Prince sent men, drones to help Congo's army secure strategic town
Blackwater founder Erik Prince deployed a private security force to operate drones and help Democratic Republic of Congo's army secure the strategic city of Uvira against Rwanda-backed rebels, four people briefed on the mission said. The AFC/M23 rebels briefly seized the city on the border with Burundi in December in a major blow to ongoing U.S. and Qatar-backed peace negotiations. They withdrew after Washington threatened to retaliate.

Dems demand Lutnick's resignation over Epstein files
Lutnick defended himself during a Senate hearing Tuesday, saying he "barely had anything to do" with Epstein. Still, Lutnick acknowledged visiting Epstein at his private island in 2012 after Epstein was a convicted sex offender. He said in a podcast interview last year that he cut ties with Epstein in 2005.

Rejection of Texas law blacklisting 'woke' BlackRock could challenge anti-ESG laws in other states
Texas lawmakers passed the Energy Discrimination Elimination Act in 2021, requiring state agencies and local authorities to break ties with and divest the shares of companies that refused to invest in some oil and gas companies, targeting the likes of BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA), and Danske Bank (DANSKE.CO), on its list. About 14 other states followed suit.

Birmingham Council attacks right to protest: We need to fight back!
Birmingham City Council (BCC) has gone running to the High Court to shut down the ‘megapickets’ – mass protests that have taken place during the heroic eleven-month strike of the city’s bin workers, in order to stop scab labour from entering the depots. The most recent megapicket in January successfully shut every major depot in the city and significantly boosted the strikers’ morale and fighting resolve. Each demonstration has drawn increasing solidarity, including support from national unions such as the Fire Brigades Union and the RMT, and prominent political figures like Green Party leader Zack Polanski, as well as Your Party leaders Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn. This growing momentum reflects the mood of workers from across the country, who recognise their own experiences in the bin workers’ fight against austerity.

CP of Turkey, We will neither forget nor forgive. We will hold them accountable!
Three years have passed…
According to official figures, which are indeed unreliable, we lost exactly 53,537 citizens in the February 6 (2023) earthquakes; and over 107,000 people were injured. And this happened right before our very eyes. There were so many comprehensive scientific reports prepared; the destruction, losses, and crisis we experienced had all been predicted. The only thing needed was to take immediate action with rational planning for our people’s right to healthy shelter and life. However, this system, which considers it its duty to allocate all resources to the capitalists, abandoned our people to death with all its cruelty before the earthquake, on the day of the earthquake, and after the earthquake, leaving them under the rubble. The blood and guilt of our people is on the hands of the government, local governments, and the capitalists. Those primarily responsible for the deaths of thousands of citizens have continued with their lives without even blushing, let alone being held accountable.

Bill Bland: On Terrorism
The victory of revisionism in the international communist movement has transformed the Communist Parties of most countries into parties which objectively serve the interests of monopoly capital by preaching the illusion of “peaceful, parliamentary transition to socialism”. These parties are seen ever more clearly by those who have become rebels against the evils of modern capitalist society to have become “left-wing” opportunist parties, drawn more and more into the political machinery of the capitalist state as instruments of deception of the working people. In the absence of scientific parties of socialist revolution, it is inevitable that rebelliousness should manifest itself to a certain extent in the form of unscientific “leftist” activity such as terrorism. In speaking of anarchism of which terrorism is one of the two fundamental concepts (the other being repudiation of the state in all its forms), Lenin made precisely this point when he described it as “a sort of punishment for opportunism” in the working-class movement: "Anarchism was often a sort of punishment for the opportunist sins of the working-class movement. Both monstrosities mutually supplemented each other”. (V. I. Lenin: “'Left-wing Communism', An Infantile Disorder", in: “Selected Works", Volume 10; London; 1946; p. 71).

My bet's on Singapore or Japan, seeing as how they principally use hanging for executions there. Could also be Vietnam, since they've consistently shown interest in boosting collaboration.
