They have gone WOKE

Funny they’re showcasing a PzH2000… it had a TERRIBLE combat record in Ukraine. Germany planned to sell like 100 of these pieces of shit to Ukraine, a bunch arrived and began combat trials. But soon after entering combat they had to be shipped back to Germany to replace their cannons as they suffered immense wear due to constant use – the thing is that the germans never planned to have this vehicle fire dozens upon dozens of times each day in high intensity conflicts, far from it actually, so the cannons wore down. It couldn’t even compete with soviet/russian made field artillery or SPGs… it’s useless.

Small and bizarre news, but still news:

So there’s a non-recognized nation in Africa called Republic of Annobon, which is a small island that is part of Equatorial Guinea. A small group of separatists declared independence in like 2022 or something and well, they travel around the world exposing their cause I guess. Many such cases.

Anyway, a small delegation headed by their Prime Minister visited our university, something completely random, and attended to a session of our History Assembly, which is celebrated each week or so to discuss career-related things and such. They were allowed to speak of their struggle against the Equatorial Guinean government. I failed to attend so I missed this peculiar event. Oh and Equatorial Guinea’s President, Theodoro Obiang Nguema, as been in power since 1982, so there’s that.

The world gets weirder and weirder each day.

And btw, before I forget:

death to “israel”

Back when they were raiding and capturing ships, as well as blowing them up, the US didn’t bomb Yemen all that much (comparatively speaking), but now that they’re not doing so the US bombs with great force. It’s very disproportionate and it’s sending a message to Iran, 100% sure on this one.

here’s how bernie can still win:

The second issue is the delivery method. The only way of delivering the MOAB is to fly a modified C-130 transport aircraft directly over the target, and drop it out of the back of the plane. Israel have C-130s, but flying one over Iran would be a suicide mission, it would be shot down instantly. So the MOAB would never reach Iran.

Never actually knew the delivery of a MOAB is a fucking C-130, that’ll be an easy target in a conventional war imo. At least, this system against a conventional enemy is unreliable to say the least, like I can’t imagine one or a couple of slow C-130s trying to strike say a Russian grouping with a MOAB, they will never make it. This leads me to believe the MOAB was designed with COIN in mind, to be used against enemies that have little to no way of countering an air force’s operations.

Last week I joked on how Musk took inspiration from milei now that he’s carrying out his crusade against whatever remains of the “New Deal”-ish State. And I can see similarities…

I think “DOGE” is kinda inspired in Argentina’s “Ministry of Deregulation and Transformation of the State”, an all-powerfull shady institution led by someone who was not directly elected, who is a massive piece of shit, who can intervene anywhere and who has political experience working with previous (failed) administrations, always on the heavy neoliberal side of things. Naturally there are differences, the extent of the “reforms” are going to be different depending on each country given that the US is institutionally and demographically seventy two trillion times bigger than Argentina, so the process of dismantling the State of certain elements is going to be different and will have different effects.

But the principle remains the same: A specific institution was created to spearhead all the efforts to scrap the State and for that task is given ridiculous powers to do so. Both are led by somewhat unelected officials with free reign over anything they desire, neither Elon Musk or Federico Sturzenegger (the guy in charge of the dismantling of the Argentinian State) have clear specific roles within their Governments, they are appointed at the will of their respective Presidents and their actions represent their own will.

The goals are also the same but will have different impacts. In Argentina the goal is to end, once and for all, the massive privatization campaign that began in the 1970s, continued heavily in the 90s, suffered setbacks in the mid 2000s up to 2014 and resumed with various degrees of intensity after. The complete privatization of all “public” aspects of the State is to be carried out by this shady Ministry and they cannot be hold accountable. The same goes for “DOGE”: Eviscerate the Federal and “Public” institutions to pave the way for relentless privatization, whether that is education, transportation, infraestructure or energy, you name it.

Whether this actually represents the end of both Argentina and the US as entities remains to be seen, in principle Capitalism at it’s core cannot reproduce itself for too long without the State intervening in certain areas, after all, a Ministry of Education is essential, and since both countries are intimatelly tied to Capitalism’s very existence, their own existence is therefore in jeopardy. However, perhaps, Capitalism is mutating into something truly hideous and new, it’s last mutation, perhaps being the "An"Cap one, before it finally succums once and for all.

death to “israel” btw.

It’s a signal.

He destroyed his country so that he could destroy the US

Well it looks like milei indeed had some impact on US internal policy

Thanks for the updates.

I think a US intervention becomes more and more likely at this point, after all you don’t gather intelligence for the lulz. The thing is: What shape it’ll have? To me they might be seeking to deploy special forces to eliminate the Cartels they want to destroy (Because let’s be honest, the Cartels themselves are useful for the US). I don’t think they’ll do a massive bombing campaign, perhaps an “israeli” style “buffer zone” and complete militarization of a huge chunk of mexican territory to “stop the flow of people and drugs”. Either way, such move would be a direct violation of Mexico’s sovereignty and a massive escalation, perhaps even absolutely worsening the region for many years to come.

I think he can just veto the law through presidential decrees, as he has been doing with other laws thus far. But I think that decree must also be fully approved by Congress and stuff, I don’t think he can just bypass it unless he shuts it down. Not super well versed into this tbh.

This crusade against the LGBTQ community and it’s allies follow not only an ideological “reasoning” (in other words, thirst for fascism) but there’s something else cooking behind the scenes. I think they must be looking at a very dire economic situation for 2025 which could completely undermine their middle term elections performance, so they start pushing for shit like this.

He’s got 20 years left

So are the liberals going to take up arms against the trump dictatorship or not? Today seems like a good day to do just that, if you wait they get stronger and

who am i fucking kidding.

Yeah, and nobody pays attention to the second time X thing has been made or said. Like a lot of people were shocked when the US pulled out of the WHO under Trump, like how can this happen??? But then milei does it a few weeks after and few are surprised like, of course he was going to do it.

Lately they’ve been talking about building “a fence” on the border with Bolivia, Paraguay and Brasil. Next up they’ll talk about deportations I swear to god they’ll do deportations.

Dude can’t think of one thing by himself. Now he again copied Trump:

Echoing Trump, Milei pulls Argentina out of World Health Organization

***Argentina will pull out of the World Health Organization, Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni confirms, following in the footsteps of the United States. ***

President Javier Milei has decided to formally withdraw Argentina from the World Health Organization, the government confirmed Wednesday. Presidential Spokesperson Manmuel Adorni confirmed the decision, which echoes last month’s announcement by US President Donald Trump that the United States would pull out from the UN agency.

“President [Javier] Milei instructed Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein to withdraw Argentina’s participation in the World Health Organisation. This is based on the profound differences with regard to health management, especially during the [Covid-19] pandemic,” said the spokesman. “We Argentines are not going to allow an international organisation to intervene in our sovereignty, much less in our health,” he stressed at a press conference.

Gotta love that fake ass nationalism. I wish they had the same attitude towards the US, the EU and the IMF but no, these institutions can come in and take whatever the fuck they want.

Adorni claimed that the WHO, along with Milei’s successor in office Alberto Fernández, led Argentina into “the longest lockdown in the history of humanity,” referencing the nation’s strict Covid-19 lockdown between 2020 and 2021. The WHO had “failed its greatest litmus test” by promoting “eternal quarantines without scientific support” during the pandemic, he alleged.

Was the COVID pandemic mishandled in Argentina? Yeah, probably. The government’s role wasn’t as terrible they claim it was, it’s not like people were being executed for going out or something. The lockdowns were indeed long (but not the “longest in history” omg) but at the same time COVID killed a lot of people. What destroyed the government’s legitimacy and every effort was a number of photos and videos leaked of the President and his family hosting a party in the middle of the lockdown and the government handing out vaccines to VIP subjects for free before everyone else (something that happens everywhere but never goes public).

‘Nefarious’

Milei issued a statement a few hours after the announcement, denouncing the WHO as “nefarious” and claiming it had played the role of the “executive arm” of the “biggest experiment of social control in history.” Denouncing its authorities as “ideologues,” Argentina’s leader said its “quarantine” policies during the Covid-19 pandemic led it to be part of “one of the most outlandish crimes against humanity in history.”

Literal Alex Jones moment.

Milei’s top spokesperson claimed the withdrawal would “give the country greater flexibility to implement policies adapted to the context of interests that Argentina requires, as well as greater availability of resources and reaffirms our path towards a country with sovereignty in health matters.” Adorni added: “It should be clarified that Argentina does not receive funding from the WHO for health management, therefore this measure – unlike some have said at least on social networks – does not represent a loss of funds for the country nor does it affect the quality of services.”

Unnamed government officials, cited by the La Nación daily said that the decision would save around US$10 million a year. According to WHO documents hosted on its website, an assessment of Argentina’s funding capabilities for 2024-2025 proposed the nation contribute 0.71 percent of the organisation’s overall budget, an estimated US$50 million. It is unclear how much of that is returned to Argentina via programmes and policies.

A lot of it returns to Argentina actually. Argentina has access to the OMS’ common fund to purchase medicine and vaccines to combat diseases like HIV/AIDS, Chagas, Dengue and so many others, we need that shit. Now they’re out of reach…

Following in Trump’s footsteps

Milei’s decision is in line with the recent executive order signed by Trump ordering the United States to depart the WHO. The United States is by far the WHO’s biggest donor and its withdrawal will leave a major hole in the organisation’s budget and its ability to respond to global public health threats.

In its last complete budget cycle, for 2022-23, the United States pitched in US$1.3 billion, representing 16.3 percent of the WHO’s US$7.89 billion budget. Most of the US funding was via voluntary contributions.

The World Health Organization last week urged the United States to reconsider a decision to suspend funding for HIV treatment programmes in developing countries, after Trump ordered an almost-complete freeze on foreign aid.

“We call on the government of the United States of America to enable additional exemptions to ensure the delivery of lifesaving HIV treatment and care,” the UN health body said on X, adding that it had “deep concern” over the funding pause. With regards to HIV, the agency said that its programmes provided access to "life-saving HIV therapy to more than 30 million people worldwide.”

We are being governed by people who want to kill, murder and exploit to no end and by washed up versions of the former.

Death to “america” and death to “israel”.

Yeah, I’ve seen. It fucking sucks and I want this shit to end and those responsible to meet the guillotine.

DEATH TO “AMERICA”

DEATH TO “ISRAEL”

GLORY TO THE RESISTANCE. GAZA AND PALESTINE WILL WIN.

I trust the Resistance knows the US and “israel” are planning something big for them in the coming months and that they are ready for it.

The fact we’re even talking about the use of AI for control and killings tells you where we at now.

Death to the cult that is capitalism and death to “israel”
