In the board and executives’ minds major shareholders are important. General shareholders are rubes, suckers that the board have to trick to keep the wheels from falling off.

Auto-Moronic Asphyxiation

I have read/heard reports of Iran saying Assad was trying to minimize commitment to the Resistance in exchange for guarantees from the west and the monarchies. I’ve also heard that Iran warned Assad months ago and he refused help.

So I think it wasnt that they didn’t want to be caught in a quagmire but that Assad by trying to not get involved in helping Palestine left himself open to the very people who are hurting Palestine.

All the “After they are done with us they will come for you” from Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran might have been directed at Syria and not the monarchies like we thought.

Because the shareholders aren’t worth the extra cost associated with renting the more luxurious conference room.

Luigi is not The Guy. Do you really want to let that brain wormed loser to take the credit for the most based act to happen in america since 9/11? He is a patsy. I don’t care how much “evidence” you think you have it is all tainted by the fact that the cops have told it to you. He is just a facet of the coverup to hide the incompetence of the nypd, fbi, homeland security, private security et al. Every bit of sensational coverage just makes this more obvious. There is no evidence I am willing to accept that The Guy was caught. It is an Unfalsifiable Orthodoxy and I like it that way.

I truly don’t get how this is that big a sea change? Why would people be equally as threatened by an Oreshnik than a nuke?

Because you cant defend against it. Its like why a sword isn’t as scary as a bullet. Sure a sword can take off a limb but you can block it or run away but a bullet will go through most things and you cant outrun it.

Oreshnik wont replace strategic nukes but it can do what tactical nukes are designed for with none of the radiation or taboo. Strategic nukes are basically props that uphold MAD. Tactical nukes are designed to destroy entire armies with a single strike but they are basically unusable because the difference between using them or Strategic is just a matter of scale. Any use of a tactical nuke sets off the MAD responses the same way strategic nukes would.

Because Oreshnik is a conventional weapon it can be deployed without anyone saying it is a WMD or a contravention of any treaties. Oreshnik decimated a giant factory. We haven’t seen how serious the damage was but we can theorise what happens when something the weight of a warhead strikes the ground at mach 10. We also have seen how hard the west is working to keep secret how things look after the strike.

Sounds like she sold her soul for a mask to make leftists vote for her. The mask worked.

Maybe this is the Russian response to the ata-cums strikes? They are blaming Iran because that is way less scary than Russia operating an off shore drone base that is invading American airspace.

I’m with you on them not hitting things in poland but I think Putin has to ratchet things up because usa isn’t learning its lessons. It requires more than just another bombing run against the barely existing power system. The oreshnik strike really scared nato for a moment but the moment passed. Russia has to move past trying to use fear and has to use pain to make their message clear.

They need to do something that doesnt activate nato but also is a material loss for usa. My guess is either a strike against large american assets in ukraine (like the embasy or weapons depot in Lviv) or possibly against an american asset in Syira, Iraq or international waters.

No they didn’t. Mao was the hardliner who got pissed at the USSR for trying to normalize relations with the west. The USSR fell because they trusted the west.

And how do we know the guy in this picture is The Guy? Cuz he was wearing the same coat in the same block? There are around 1400 people per block in Manhattan what are the odds of 2 of them wearing the same coat?

We cant transform shit until the CEOs are done. The proletariat doesn’t need to be organized they need to be angry. We are at the agitation phase of the game. Phase one is revolution phase two is forming a communist government. Both the Bolsheviks and the Communist party of China only came into being after a ideological split of the revolutionary parties they were part of.

And Engels was the son of a textile tycoon.

A talk about a Chinese review of Sinwar’s book the thorn and the carnation, some discussion of the parallels between the Palestine occupation and in Japanese occupied China, also of popular sentiment in China about the situation in Palestine.

Say hello to the new decade of war, same as the old decade of war

I get this. Its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Whenever I feel the doom is setting in just tell myself “Something Beautiful is going to happen.” It doesn’t matter if I believe it or not. Reality doesn’t care. What will happen will happen and eventually capitalism will fall.

maybe he is the guy in the taxi But is the guy in the taxi the shooter?
