Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

It’s not even the 10th, so much shit is happening in the space of a week and my brain can’t process it all
Fucking hell
Just think about how much good could happen all at once if the other party was real opposition. Join an org and build some actual opposition.

I presume at some point they do stop coming. At least for this instance of the universe.

It's the cool zone, and they say it gets colder 
Israel has withdrawn soldiers and barricades from the West Bank too. It’s like the sea receding before a tsunami
Heard that Russia is also clearing out its embassies in the region.
Isn't it Russian Xmas right now though?
It is
You could have given him the nobel and avoided this. Now instead of the president of peace, he will be the president of war. He's about to get twizted. 
Given that the Nobel POS Prize has devolved into a tool of imperialism, they should have just given it to him. He only wanted because Obama got one.
"has devolved" is an understatement and a half. goes back to kissinger at least.

He will win the inaugural 2026 FIFA War Prize
Real week where decades happen shaping up here.
Yeah this shit is fucking wild. We had the kidnapping of Maduro to kick off the new year, two broad daylight executions of civilians not even participating in any protest by fascist goons everyone more or less recognizes as foreign (as in not even from their state) occupying force whom the police are essentially letting terrorize people with impunity, potential new front about to open up in the Middle East, another tanker this time flying the Russian Federation flag, and to cap it off there have been 10 mass shootings already this year.
Don't forget announcing air strikes on Mexico, a web site for historical revisionism of recent events. Richest man in the world just making child abuse material now.
announcing air strikes on Mexico
lmao WHAT?! This I had not heard about what the actual fuck. The US Mexico border is the largest most porous land border on earth what the fuck are they thinking?
"fighting cartels"
How many weeks where decades happen have we had since 2020?
We need a name for this measure of time. Leninchronos?
Already approaching 2 Leninchronos 8 days into January.

Didn’t the Russians evacuate their staff from Israel this week too
Facts:
- US embassy staff in Israel are being withdrawn
- US embassy staff in Lebanon are being withdrawn
- Israel's forces in the West Bank are withdrawing
The implication is that Iranian backed forces will send boots on the ground to Israel.
Or maybe Israel will send boots into Lebanon.
Insane.
The implication is that Iranian backed forces will send boots on the ground to Israel.
this would be the most happening thing that's ever happened in my life
Israel being emboldened by America’s recent aggression in the Western hemisphere, decides to attempt simultaneous attacks and/ or decapitation strikes on Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria all at once. This ends up dragging Israel into a multi-front war with Iran, Hezbollah, Ansarallah, and maybeee HTS all at once.
Saudi Arabia, angered at Israel’s interference in Yemen, especially after the UAE recently used Somaliland (which Israel diplomatically recognized last month) to smuggle a UAE-backed STC leader into the UAE to avoid peace talks with the Saudis, decides to let the Iranian missiles and drones fly over Saudi airspace unimpeded.
Israel gets utterly overwhelmed and asks the US to intervene. America tries doing some precision airstrikes ala Iran 2025, but Iran cannot afford another “peace agreement” that results in a return to status quo when there’s currently mass protests/ colour revolution happening within their borders too. America continues airstrikes and decides to hit a nuclear facility partially run by Russians. Putin calls Trump and warns him to back off or he will retaliate ten fold in Ukraine. Trump agrees because Putin is a “nice, but tough guy” and he likes tough guys. Also, he is already too busy starting conflicts in the Western hemisphere.
Now there is no off ramp and the entire ME region has become an Arab-Iran vs. Israel conflict. Israel eventually faces internal revolt which forces the government leadership to flee the country, resulting in total chain of command collapse which the Palestinian resistance takes full advantage of to liberate the remaining occupied territories.
'HTC' do you mean HTS? they're compradors with Israel and the west, Israel may(and I think already has to some extent) attempt to increase their occupied area of Syria beyond the Golan but HTS wouldn't oppose it(at least physically)

Can I get some informed (or even sort of informed) detailed guesses about what might happen in the next few days? I don't know a thing about what's up. I can guess that Iran is involved but that's all I got.
Good news: Israel is about to get deleted from the map.
Bad news: A lot of Iranians and other people in West Asia are also going to suffer.
Here's hoping for the best outcome
It's a good sign that all out war between Israel & Iran is breaking out, way worse than the last one.
Well, either Iran is going to collapse and you're gonna get regional civil war as Iran lets its proxies off the chain and launches everything it has, and Israel attempts to take stuff in the chaos.
Or, they've already realised that Iran has controlled the protests and their colour revolution has failed, and here comes the blowback.
Or, Israel has decided to unilaterally march to the Euphrates taking advantage of the current international chaos.
March to Euphrates and fight Iraq on the ground???
That would definetly be a sight to see.
I mean I don't think they'd succeed, but they're currently hubristic enough to try, and they think it'll go down like the 6 days war.
Fortnite battle pass
Why?

Uhhh
I knew war was imminent.
Is this real or like the Kyiv post thing I fell for?
