In Sudan news, it appears that the RSF frontlines are full on collapsing, with the SAF gaining large amounts of territory and capturing RSF stronghold cities (such as Wad Madani) in the past few days. It appears that the NATO/USA bloc finally acknowledging that the RSF is committing genocide in Sudan is a sign/public acknowledgement that the RSF has been discarded by them. Without support through the sub-imperialist UAE, I can't see the RSF holding on for very long. The RSF will meet the same fate as South Vietnam.

Tsunami advisory triggered after 6.9 magnitude earthquake rattles southwest Japan - CNN

Japan’s Meteorological Agency has issued a tsunami advisory after a 6.9 magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of southwest Japan. The quake struck shortly after 9:19 p.m. local time (7:19 a.m. ET), the agency said, triggering an advisory for Miyazaki province, in the island of Kyushu, as well as Japan’s southern Kochi prefecture.

Authorities have urged locals not to enter the sea or approach the coast until the advisory is lifted, the country’s meteorological agency said on X.

Cursed Timeline: Imagine if Trump messes with the US Empire too much and messes with the wrong people. And we'll have an American version of the August coup, with Trump being held hostage at Camp David by Navy Seals, while JD takes control of the country with the help of some ghouls.

Really hoping the Chinese don't cave and sell TikTok. It will cause way more chaos if they just go dark lol.

My crank political opinion is that all sports teams should be owned by their cities, and that all team management positions should be elected officials. That way, the teams get more mega fans (they're actually involved in the team, even if it's just voting), the managers go for the best decisions for the game, rather than the profitable decision, so they get reelected, and more money can go towards the city, rather than some parasitic billionaire's pockets.

Today’s news and videos from the Donbass and Kharkov oblast.

Russian forces liberated the Donetsk People’s Republic settlement of Yantarnoye (southwest of Kurakhovo) and the Kharkov oblast settlement of Kalinovo (north of Kiev-occupied Kupyansk): https://news-pravda.com/world/2025/01/12/971468.html

After the city’s liberation, Kurakhovo’s civilian population came out to greet the Russian army (video): https://news-pravda.com/world/2025/01/12/972651.html

Made the mistake of checking up on NATOpedia articles about Russia and Ukraine.

Using the Russian spelling for Russian legal entities? Nah, the LPR is definitely called Luhansk People's Republic.

An article about a classification of legal entity that exists solely within Russian law (Republics of Russia)? Umm, actually Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk don't count because there isn't international recognition of those legal entities' status in Russian law.

Ukraine's claim of North Korean troops? Treated as fact.

Russia blew up their own dam for some reason? Fact.

The images on the main page about the invasion are all Russian casualties or supposed Russian war crimes. Obviously Ukraine hasn't had any losses worth showing, and they definitely haven't committed war crimes.

A news article about the US sanctioning the ICC gets posted on a local European subreddit, and the top comments are like: "the US is just as bad as Russia and China!"

Even when the US (and the collective West) goes mask off and does things that Western libs can't find any excuses for, they still can't help themselves but make bullshit comparisons to bAd CoUnTrIeS.

Extremely, extremely critical support:

Steve Bannon condemns Elon Musk as ‘racist’ and ‘truly evil’

“He [Musk] should go back to South Africa,” Bannon said. “Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?”

It’s fun seeing these assholes fight each other

another scandal from nonce island, in which blairite and former minister of defence under blair during the iraq war, Ivor Caplin, was tagged for soliciting sex from a minor. the british chud press is going pretty wild on this but to avoid linking the daily mail, here's a story from the canary with details.

caplin was also the chair of the 'jewish labour movement' during 2018-2019 over the corbyn years. in 2023 the JLM bragged about having taken down corbyn

North Korean Koksan M1989 170mm calibre Self Propelled Gun (SPG) on the frontlines of the Ukraine-Russia war in a camouflaged position, presumably in Kursk. Video here. These SPGs were seen earlier late last year on trains within Russia itself, once on it's own, and another time accompanied by a delivery of North Korean ballistic missiles.

Interesting note about this SPG. The actual gun is said to be based off of 17cm WW2 era Soviet naval guns or German guns, or a domestic North Korean design combining technology both both countries. The chassis is based off of the Soviet ATS tracked tractor chassis, which uses the same engine as the T-55 tank. Range is reported around 40km for normal shells and 60km for rocket assisted shells. This is likely why Russia would want to use these, their long range is rare on the battlefield and useful for counter battery operations, pushing Ukrainian artillery futher backwards in Kursk. Another fact: the reported DPRK name for this SPG literally translates to "Juche Cannon".

In more news about North Korea in the war, Zelensky decided to publish a propaganda interview with an alleged North Korean POW. Video here. While Ukrainian propaganda continues to get more unhinged, it does appear that the POW has a distinct accent (when compared to presumably the South Korean interpreter) and is just saying whatever the interpreter and Ukraine says he must say, meaning that the answers have no value, as with almost all POW videos. I don't speak Korean, so I have no idea or opinion on the accent or the dialect, if it's North Korean or South Korean, other than it sounds distinct/thick. Any possible Korean users with any opinion?

Posting this since I have been one of the most skeptical posters about DPRK troops fighting on the Russian border with Ukraine

https://old.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/comments/1hzt6sz/ua_pov_president_zelensky_published_an_interview/

Ukraine actually did release audio of the interview with the supposed North Korean soldiers. Everyone seems to agree that the soldier is speaking Korean with a distinct Northern accent.

I'm still a little skeptical since they only have one single guy capable of speaking. He could be a South Korean who's really good at accents, or maybe they somehow abducted a civilian laborer from the DPRK in Russia

Hell, South Korea was getting more and more involved in Ukraine, so this could be a psyop filmed in South Korea with a DPRK defector.

Maduro suggests using Brazilian troops to free Puerto Rico.

The Venezuelan president has said that the freedom of Puerto Rico, a US territory, is pending. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro (United Socialist Party of Venezuela, left) suggested on Saturday using “Brazilian troops” to win the “freedom of Puerto Rico”, an island located in the Caribbean under the control of the United States.

“Just as in the north they have a colonization agenda, we have a liberation agenda. The agenda was written by Simón Bolívar. Puerto Rico's freedom is pending, and we're going to win it, Breno. With Brazilian troops. And Abreu de Lima at the front. Abreu de Lima Battalion to liberate Puerto Rico, what do you think?” said Maduro.

During his speech, Maduro mentions someone called Breno. He then suggests using “troops from Brazil”. It is possible to interpret that the mention of Brazilians was motivated by the relationship that the chavista has with this person called Breno and that it was all just a joke.

The Abreu e Lima Battalion, named after Pernambuco general José Inácio de Abreu e Lima, took an active part in Simón Bolívar's campaigns, including independence movements in countries such as Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. The current governor of Puerto Rico, Jenniffer González-Colón, has already spoken out against Maduro. After the elections in the country, she said that “Edmundo González is the elected president of Venezuela” and that she supports “María Corina and the courageous Venezuelan people”.

The results of the election have been repeatedly contested by the European Union and several individual countries, such as the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay. Brazilian president President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said that he saw nothing unusual in the country's elections.

Human Rights Watch criticized Presidents Lula, Gustavo Petro (Colombia) and Andrés Manuel López Obrador (Mexico) in August 2024. In a letter sent to the three presidents, they said it was necessary for them to reconsider their positions on Venezuela and criticized the leaders' proposals.
