In other news

In other news

In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.

I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.

Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.

you gotta love how he wholly ignores how he came across the image to know about it in the first place

he acts like it came to him in a vision from god and only then decided to find a reputable news source to see if god was lying or not

Ok buddy.
Next thing you know is if I say it's funny to delete videos about the enola gay, I am defending gays.
And if I wonder why Trump talk about trangenic mice as in transgender , I'm defending the trans.

I didn't say I first found it in a non reputable source, learn to read please.
Anyway I'm done this is getting far too ridiculous. (inb4yousaysinceImdoneImfullofshit)

it's like how if you read internet stuff on commodus they'll mention that he liked to dress up like hercules as evidence that he was deranged, often making analogies like "can you imagine if the us president showed up to a nato meeting dressed up as batman?"

this is the most famous bust of him for good reason

All these years and we've only made it from The H-Shaman to the Q-Shaman 😀

you absolutely refuse to share how you first came across the image for good reason - because i'm right


why is Russia protecting civilians from US backed sectarian death squads? I thought they were the bad guys.


dont the Western backed forces deserve agency in their sovereign (adopted) country to murder who they want?

Probably for the same reason Israel (probably) coordinated with Russia to destroy much of the Assad state's weaponry before HTS could get their hands on it, and Israel is controlling large swaths of land in SW Syria (as the US is in Eastern Syria) and de facto protecting the people there.

I dont know if it will amount to anything, but Israel media states the Israeli administration is quietly meeting with Russian officials to discuss cooperation in controlling areas of former Syria. Now the goal isn't purely philanthropic. The more land HTS doesn't control, the weaker they are and the farther away they are from Israel, de facto providing greater Israel security.

Trump is making noises like he wants to pull out of Kurdish areas to the east. But if he doesn't, it could be a very strange alliance of Israel, Russia and the US one one side vs Turkey/HTS on the other partitioning Syria.

Ironically, you are saying HTS is US backed. But unlike the US, it is actually Europe who are establishing formal relations with HTS and have given their verbal support to HTS in the current fighting.
