The most recent geopolitical news around Cuba is the arrival this week of four Russian vessels, including a nuclear submarine - not carrying any nukes, (un)fortunately - to Havana. This will, in Putin's words, merely be a visit celebrating historical ties and no laws are being broken. Nonetheless, it's not hard to imagine how American politicians and analysts are taking the news, especially as it comes shortly after Russia promised an "asymmetrical" response to further NATO involvement in Ukraine (notably, officially allowing the use of US weapons such as missiles in Russia, albeit in a small part of Russian territory, near the border).

Meanwhile, China has been increasingly co-operating with Cuba to overcome the economic hardship created by American sanctions. China has recently re-allowed direct flights to Cuba and has recently donated some small photovoltaic plants as part of an initiative to eventually boost the Cuban energy grid by 1000 MW - and any electrical expansion helps as Cuba is plagued by blackouts which last most of the day. Additionally, the EU has made meaningful contributions to Cuba's energy situation too, with large solar installations. Hopefully, the Belt and Road Initiative will help preserve the Cuban revolution against reactionary forces as the power of US sanctions wanes. The proximity of Cuba to the United States makes this much more challenging than it would be for countries elsewhere, however. Similarly to the situation in Mexico, it seems unlikely that the US's influence over Cuba will massively diminish for decades to come unless there is a catastrophic internal collapse in the American authoritarian regime.

The Havana Syndrome will continue until American morale declines.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful. Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Decades-Long Conspiracy Unveiled: Sabotage of Yemen's Agriculture

Yemen has the highest rate of food insecurity of any country in the world. And the US and UK have been using biological weapons to sabotage their agricultural industry under the guise of "Aid."

CIA-linked members confessed to orchestrating these actions, with involvement from British and Dutch embassies. Key actors like the US Department of Agriculture and the FAO were implicated, with USAID's pivotal role dating back to the late 1980s.

Local USAID operatives outside Yemen continue gathering intel, obstructing advancements in agricultural practices. A Seed Center for Seed Inspection facilitated the entry of inferior seeds, some infected with pests, while spiny weeds were spread instead of vegetable seeds.

USAID targeted fertile soil with contaminated seeds, aiming to render it unsuitable for cultivation, alongside spreading scale insects to hinder wheat production. Spy Shayef al-Hamdani confirmed USAID's role in spreading epidemics among agricultural crops under the pretext of pest control. USAID's interventions were carried out through implementing partners, including international organizations, spreading epidemics in specific crops under the guise of controlling pests. USAID played a pivotal role in executing these plans through its operatives both within and outside Yemen.

Did anyone else have the idea drilled into their head during school that Communism created mass poverty and a failed state? I’ve noticed that a lot of European countries that view Communism as a failed relic to leave behind are okay with the failed ideology of fascism.

I think a part of it has to do with fascism not having the same “failed state” stereotype given to it. I remember hearing implications that Nazi Germany was an evil place but had a strong economy. Something you won’t hear being said about the USSR. At least at the basic public school levels.

Wouldn’t surprise me if intellectually incurious people just assume that fascism will create a strong economy that will wipe out undesirables while Communism will make everybody equally poor.

US Wants To Create ‘Hellscape’ of Drones If China Attacks Taiwan

The US military is planning to create a “hellscape” of drones in the Taiwan Strait if China moves to attack Taiwan, the top US military commander in the region has told The Washington Post.

Adm. Samuel Paparo, the head of US Indo-Pacific Command, told Post columnist Josh Rogin that the idea would be to send thousands of drones, unmanned submarines, and drone boats into the Strait to buy time for the US and Taiwan to prepare a defense of the island.

“I want to turn the Taiwan Strait into an unmanned hellscape using a number of classified capabilities,” Paparo said. “So that I can make their lives utterly miserable for a month, which buys me the time for the rest of everything.”

The US has taken steps in the direction of developing swarms of drones for a future war with China. Last year, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks outlined a plan to deploy thousands of drones controlled by Artificial Intelligence, known as the “Replicator Initiative.”

“With Replicator, we’re beginning with all-domain, attritable autonomy, or ADA2, to help us overcome the [People’s Republic of China’s] advantage in mass: more ships, more missiles, more forces,” Hicks said at a conference in September 2023. She added that the US plans to deploy the drones “at a scale of multiple thousands, in multiple domains, within the next 18-to-24 months.”

Paparo framed the plan as necessary to deter China from attacking Taiwan, but the US military buildup in the region and its new support for Taiwan has only raised tensions and is making a conflict more likely. The admiral also used Cold War-style language when discussing the situation in the Asia Pacific, saying regional countries need to make a choice between the US and China.

“The region has got two choices. The first is that they can submit, and as an end result give up some of their freedoms … or they can arm to the teeth,” Paparo said. “Both cases have direct implications to the security, the freedom, and the well-being of the citizens of the United States of America.”

a number of classified capabilities

lol

It is absolutely incredible and un-sane that the US openly, constantly screams about how badly it wants to go to war, and is openly planning a war with, it's largest and essential trade partner.

also, the idea that the military has the ability to maintain the logistics train for thousands of any new complex system like thousands of robots operating in hostile conditions seems open to question.

“I want to turn the Taiwan Strait into an unmanned hellscape using a number of classified capabilities,” Paparo said. “So that I can make their lives utterly miserable for a month, which buys me the time for the rest of everything.”

This is strategically idiotic. The description of using thousands of drones as something that is distinct from (buying time for) the defence of the island is out to lunch. Building thousands and thousands of drones and munitions will be the entire war, not just a month. Have these people learned nothing from Russia v Ukraine? Drones are consumable objects. A war isn't won by having a bunch of them stockpiled, it's won by having the productive and logistical capacity to replace losses and keep putting rounds on target. Their goal here is 18 months of production to buy 1 month of time - that is 5% the speed it needs to be.

Havana syndrome is 100% real. Last night I was hanging out at a Latin club with a few friends and we met a few new acquaintances there, some of which were Cuban. The party was great, we danced a ton and drank even more. I had maybe 5 mojitos. Then today, boom. I wake up almost completely incapacitated. There’s this nonstop buzzing that is so aggravating and giving me a headache, plus I feel sick to my stomach despite having nothing to eat or drink since last night. I now have reason to believe these so-called acquaintances we met were Cuban government agents, and they were sent on a mission to make me have a bad Wednesday.

Thank god the government is looking out for people like me and will pay me between $150K and $200K for my suffering.

Putin has laid out demands for an immediate peace. Nato has already rejected them but they are:

  1. Withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow

  2. Renounce plans to join NATO.

  3. Ukraine’s non-nuclear status,

  4. Restrictions on its military force (I assume this means something like Japan)

  5. Protecting the interests of the Russian-speaking population in the country

NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg has already commented: "I don't think Putin's proposal on Ukraine is peaceful. NATO countries will continue to provide military support to Ukraine"

Looks like Western governments and Western media have finally gotten their ducks in a row w/r/t Biden’s “peace plan”. Olaf Scholz, the US ambassador to the UN, and others now saying “it’s on Hamas to accept this deal”. Despite the fact that Israel hasn’t agreed to shit and Hamas is politely asking that language in the agreement that obviously allows Israel to resume the genocide once they get their hostages back (which they will even more obviously taken advantage) be clarified and changed.

It’s gaslighting right before our very eyes.

The War is Costing the Israeli Economy $600M a Week Due to Absences of Palestinian Workers

The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has laid bare the Israeli economy’s heavy reliance on Palestinian labor, with the absence of these workers costing the Israeli economy an estimated $600 million per week, equivalent to about 6% of its weekly GDP.

Prior to the outbreak of hostilities on October 7, 2023, around 100,000 Palestinians from the West Bank held permits to work in Israel, primarily in construction and agriculture. However, shortly after the initial Hamas attacks, Israel restricted entry for these Palestinian employees.

To fill the gaps, Israel has recruited workers from India and Sri Lanka, but the labor shortages have still taken a major toll. In Q4 2023, the Israeli economy contracted by 19.4% compared to the same period in 2022, the biggest drop in nearly four years. Private consumption plunged 26.9%, business investment fell 67.8%, and exports declined 18.3%

Today has seen even greater escalations on the border of Palestine and Lebanon.

I suspect thay sometime between July and September the US-israeli zionist forces in occupied Palestine will begin a massive operation in Lebanon against Hezbollah.

It will be a repeat of 2006. Before the July war, the Gaza resistance had captured IOF soldier Gilad Shalit. The IOF was unable to retrieve him despite a savage campaign against Gaza so they chose to invade Lebanon instead. Entire villages were destroyed and Beirut was bombed but the IOF was routed and took heavy damage. (Look into the story of Hezbollah leveling Heifa train station its really quite awe inspiring).

A ceasefire in Gaza will only accompany an escalation against Lebanon.

If I'm wrong about this I'll eat my shoe
