It's just a turn from the left,
And a jump to the right!
Put your votes in the box,
Or you won't wake up tonight!
Maybe next time sweetie,
today we're saving Democracy!

It's the Elections again!

Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela made a great statement today to Sputnik at the Eastern Economic Forum. Snip:

“We not only defeated the Apartheid regime in South Africa, but we defeated its allies as well. You know that the United Kingdom through Margaret Thatcher as well as the United States of America through Ronald Reagan’s administration supported the Apartheid regime to the hilt. But our friends, through our darkest days in the struggle for liberation, like Russia, China and many others in the international solidarity movement who rallied behind the anti-Apartheid campaign, ensured that they gave full support to our cause to defeat the Western imperialist agenda. And what we are seeing in multipolarity is a continuation of that,” Mandela told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum on Thursday.

“Many countries do not want to continuously be bowing down to their colonial masters and settler colonialists” today Mandela said, pointing to the example of the Palestinians and their struggle for liberation and statehood.

It is best to start with the simplest option. When 2026 rolls around, it would be easiest for Moscow and Washington to continue to abide by the limits of the expiring treaty. The two sides should also negotiate to resume on-site inspections — Vladimir Putin himself will have to be convinced that it is in Russia’s national security interest to do so. Perhaps the strengthening of the US nuclear industrial complex can be brought to his attention in a way that makes Russia’s interest in implementing the treaty abundantly clear.

As for the Chinese, if they reach 1,500 warheads by 2035 and continually refuse to talk then the US and its allies must consider a build-up.

The worst-case scenario is that Russia and China are hell-bent on increasing their nuclear holdings at the cost of global stability. If that occurs, the US will be ready and able to respond.

A review of the degrowth literature (561 studies) find that 'few studies use quantitative or qualitative data...' and those that do 'tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases'. Finally, 'large majority (almost 90%) are opinions rather than analysis'.

'An advertisement warning that U.S. fighter jets were ready to respond to provocations showed up on a dating app in Lebanon.

The warning appeared online last week in Arabic beneath pictures of U.S. warplanes: “Do not take up arms against the United States or its partners,” it said, noting that America “will protect its partners in the face of threats from the Iranian regime and its proxies.”

And to underscore the message: Central Command is “fully prepared” and ready to employ F-16 and A-10 aircraft “currently in the region.”

Séamus Malekafzali, a freelance journalist based in Lebanon, encountered Tinder advertisements purportedly from U.S. Central Command warning against joining Iranian-backed militants on Aug. 22. This ad was linked to a Central Command post on X, Malekafzali said.
