Liberals are already seething. Guessd in Mexico we are not "civilized" enough for a female president.

F16s are notorious for needing very special conditions in the airfields to operate. They have neither the time nor the resources to make and maintain the airfields domestically in Ukraine. But the NATO countries have the budget assigned and the places far behind the front lines to be able to do it. If they try to do so inside Ukraine, they risk being targeted by Russian missiles and air force, specially now that the Ukrainian air defence is basically depleted. Using NATO bases is not just an adventure, it is necessary given the conditions to which the AFU has been degraded after two years of war. Two years ago, that was maybe realistic, but Russia made sure to strike airports and hangas non stop at the start of the war. There's a reason we have seen less and less Ukrainian planes as time passes, and more and more Russian ones.

 

Header translation: "There is no concession." The golf course exploited by Salinas Pliego will become a Conservation Area, AMLO announces.

Salinas Pliego is one of the top oligarchs here in Mexico and until august 2022 the government conceded the use of a golf course and a beach in Huatulco, Oaxaca. The local government has accused this bourgeois mf of illegally extracting around 350 thousand liters of water daily from the nearby conservation areas to water the grass in the golf course. Apparently, the federal government gave Salinas Pliego the opportunity to purchase the terrain with the condition that he would have to pay for the maintenance (because of course, the maintenance was paid by the Fonatur, the National Fund for the Promotion of Turism). Since he didn't answer, the president has moved to nationalize it and declare the area a Conservation Area and merge both the golf course and the beach with the surrounding Conservation Areas to make a national park "for public enjoyment", along with the regularization of the land which is inhabited by around 2500 families so that they can't have it taken away in the future by private business.

No wonder the US is attempting to meddle in the coming elections in Mexico.

We are going to see another 'Gulf of Tonkin" incident, are we?

I haven't seen people comparing Palestine to Ukraine, but I have certainly seen people saying that the recent offensive against Israel is somehow all planned by Moscow...

Lately I've been really into PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation and Fishing for Fishies by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. I have listened both like more than 30 times already.

Many papers published as pre prints in arxiv never make it out of there, there's too much rubbish in the academic world, just like this article. And not only in the social sciences, I've seen plenty of bad papers in chemistry and biology there too.

Mexico is NOT a settler colony. The Mexico of the 1800s was in constant war after many attempts of the US, the spanish and the french to recolonize the country. It was born out of the struggle of indigenous people against spanish colonization. The many contradictions of the time led to a century of chaos across the country and constant invasions by the US, the spanish and the french and each would be met with fierce resistance by the people and leaders like Benito Juarez which himself was an indigenous man. This chaos would only end in the violent "peace" of Diaz and the mexican bourgeoisie in collaboration with the international bourgeoisie of the US and France, but that would only be the cause of an even more intensified struggle that ended in the Revolution of 1910. The revolutionaries of the time after the revolution were a mixed bag, but thanks to people like Villa, Zapata or Cardenas many agrarian movements achieved huge gains in favor of the indigenous people. Today Mexico is still struggling against capital and US domination. We are a multinational country in which the majority at the very least are mestizos descended from indigenous people that were never exterminated by the spanish. Unlike the US where white people achieved ethnic hegemony thanks to genocide and slavery.

Didn't read the description until I posted a comment. As OP says. Fuck the PAN. Fascists and nazis that have put Mexico into the worst cycle of violence of the last 100 years.
