I just started after briefly touching the game 5-7 years ago, and I much prefer the current planet management system to the tiles before. Still need to wrap my head around the district and building systems, but way more initially intuitive
Specifically in Syria in the last 6 months, disarmament leads directly to sectarian massacres and crimes. Not sure if the new government will be more tolerant to Kurds than Druze or Alawites
Doesn't do a great job at convincing me that the Kurdish liberation movement had goals besides undermining Assad. How are they any closer to sovereignty now than uhhh November 24?
One side continued the genocide while tut tutting, one side got a ceasefire (before Israel broke it) and is directly negotiating with the Palestinians bypassing Israel. On the face of it, it seems like one side has a lot more Gazan blood on their hands. But keep telling people they need to vote blue no matter who
The dems didn’t bungle, they’re ideologically committed to Zionism and genocide, which is why Kamala didn’t say a damn word on the “campaign trail”. Sucks if right wing antisemitism prevails, but the space for this only exists because of liberal inaction
Doesn’t really disabuse anybody of the idea that they were a western puppet solely dedicated to splitting, undermining, and collapsing the Assad government
I disagree with most of what they say, including this post, I just haven’t read enough history to argue against it. I was hoping the “engagement” would produce some clarity.
“Two senior Hamas officials to Asharq:
– Progress has been made on allowing aid into Gaza, securing a two-phase prisoner exchange deal, and reaching a ceasefire.
– The movement’s leadership has been holding direct talks for several days with official US envoys in Doha.
– The talks have covered a 70-day renewable truce in exchange for the release of 10 living Israeli captives.
– Discussions have also addressed US guarantees to prevent Israel from resuming military operations.“

Could be just bluster and false promises, but Trump loves a deal he can say he got done.
Trump only does anything to look strong/good. It’s how he gave up on bombing Yemen, and it’s how the Palestinians in Gaza may get a hint of breathing room.
“ Hamas spokesman Jihad Taha to Al Jazeera:
– "The release of soldier Edan Alexander is aimed at stopping the aggression on Gaza, allowing aid in, and launching negotiations for a comprehensive deal."
– "We expect a US announcement soon regarding the start of comprehensive negotiations that will lead to an end to the war."
– "Details of Alexander’s release will be announced in the coming days by the negotiating team."
– "We call on the US to pressure Israel and ensure it abides by what was agreed upon with Hamas." “

“As is clear, the channel the Americans previously opened with Hamas was not just a “passing episode”—today it culminated in an agreement. On the surface, it may appear limited, but in reality, it marks a significant turning point.
The Americans will use this agreement during Trump’s visit, but it cannot be leveraged unless it is implemented—meaning “Tel Aviv” will now move according to what Washington dictates.
Netanyahu now appears as merely the executor of an agreement brokered between Washington and Hamas. If he says no, it will be a disaster for him. The agreement will harm him domestically—and we will see the effects soon.
The agreement announced by Hamas, which it concluded directly with Washington and which stipulates the entry of aid, the opening of crossings, and the beginning of negotiations, constitutes a blow to the “starvation policy” pursued by Netanyahu and his team.”
I can’t think of any other development in the last 5 years that would lead the PKK to disband. I think it’s fair to conflate the two in this instance because why would Turkish victory in Syria lead the PKK to conclude that the phase of armed struggle has ended? It appears that the PKK decision follows from the SDF signing agreements with Jolani. Am I misrepresenting the situation?
