How did Napoleon's campaign against Russia go? :^)

Macron must be up to some Eyes Wide Shut tier shenanigans in his free time.

Better than Hitlers, worse than Kaiserreichs.

The plan is simple: wipe out anyone who chose Macron over Melénchon

Trump to pardon Scooter Libby. For you younger cats.. Scooter Libby worked under Dick Cheney and was a central character in cooking evidence about WMDs in Iraq, helping develop policy regarding torture (enhanced interrogation) and using the politics of fear to encourage the legislation of The Patriot Act.

He basically took the fall for the entire George W Bush administration, and worked hand in hand with John Bolton.

Are we fucked?

So how long until the material conditions are appropiate? If even a country as fucked and unequal is dominated by right-wing politics, can we -ever- expect uprisings, let alone a revolution? I'm getting more pessimist every day.

surely Neocon Don wouldn't betray his base like this

Expect that was not the choice it was between Macron and literal fascism.

who's doing these killings?

LePen a spineless reactioanry shit, chances are she would have sat around for four years, and most of her presidency would have been her appearing on TV every week saying the words "m-més immgrantes" and walking out of the studio.

any chance they'll kill AMLO too?

Imagine if hardline Maoists took over the CCP and they did cultural revolution 2: the revenge with that kind of technology, mein gott

And Zig Forums will continue to suck his cock lol.

Hm.

Lol

Yeah, I actually doubt this. If they staged it, couldn't they plant some kind of evidence? I wasn't even sure there was conclusive evidence that it happened at all. Guess I should keep up with this better.

Then again…

US government passed SESTA so it could catch kids on the street instead of risking their skins with dodgy online communication.

We ought to help them.

I really find it kind of amusing how Trump can't even get tariffs right.

Then again, maybe he'll hoard less grain now.

His specific charge was in relation to Plamegate, though - some lying to investigators thing, of course. In that case, he was taking the fall for higher up members of the administration who had outed a CIA operative to a reporter - most likely as political revenge against her husband, who had been sent to Niger to investigate an alleged uranium deal with Saddam (lol I shit you not) and openly disputed that the deal had ever occurred afterwards.

A vote for Macron is a vote for Fascism.

Pic related is Marion Le Pen, future of the party.
You fell for the neo liberal meme.
Everything right of center is fascism and everything left of center is stalinist antisemitism.

Financial capitalist stooges like Macron are crypto fascists. They're more dangerous than the blood and soil fascists because they're slick centrists with a veneer of respectability.

Speakin' of Macron

Kremlin: Putin, Macron discuss situation in Syria
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron have held a telephone call on Friday, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

When asked if the two leaders had discussed the situation in Syria, he said: “yes, the conversation touched upon that.”

The Russian presidential spokesman said that the conversation’s details would be provided later.

What is up with blacks and Arabs voting for the national front? I’ve heard a lot about this but it’s very strange to American eyes. Can some frog give me a quick rundown?

Impressive opsec.

I'm sure the security apparatus of the PRC will use this power sparingly and responsibly.

Napoleon III maybe. It'll go on until he suffers a crushing military defeat. Imagine the Charles de Gaulle sunk by a Silkworm fired by Hezbollah coastal batteries.

Delusions of civic nationalism.

Yet another highlight of just how cucked the GOP really are. They know Trump's tariffs are only going to make midterms harder, but they're too scared of "Trump magic" to do anything about it.

Everything is going to be in play this Midterm, even the Midwest.

french culture is based around being a global country that is a unique and diverse blend of southern european, islamic and subsaharan african cultures

basically italy but with nuclear weapons

Trump is so fucking impotent lmao

Poor communities are the hardest hit by crime, so the FN's tough on crime policies appeal to them.
Same with Jews and gay people voting for them, the FN stokes their fear of islamists to turn them to their side.

Wait, no. french are a blend because of their history with colonialsm, we never had a history with it. We tried with mussolini but failed miserably, our porky is sneaky and mafioso but not warmongering

I don't know of that many jews in any congressional legislature or parliamentary legislature, in Western Europe or America. For America all I can think of is Bernie Sanders

Well, that an Chuck Schumer. But he isn't that liked right now anyways

Not everyone in the GOP is. Their deputy finance chairman paid a playboy model 1.6 million to keep quiet about having an affair with her, impregnating her and the subsequent abortion…

YAY Evangelical party!

Elliott Broidy, RNC deputy finance chair, resigns amid reports of Playmate payoff

cbsnews.com/news/elliott-broidy-rnc-deputy-finance-chair-resigns-amid-reports-of-playboy-playmate-payoff/

In less than a week, the RNC lost two deputy finance chairs, both due to corruption.

I think there's a very real possibility that the GOP will go down with Trump.

For as much as the Dems are fucked, the GOP is pretty equally fucked

Man, I bet he really regrets being on the 'defund Planned Parenthood' side, now!

It's likely bunk anyway. Trump said that before a group of farm state politicians. Since farmers would've benefited overwhelmingly from TPP, it's likely empty theatrics to placate them as he gears up to fuck the Midwest with his trade war.

people get to know what's happening in the world through these jackasses. Disgusting

Reconsidering isn't the same thing as actually trying to get back into it. It's far more likely Trump is just lying to get people to shut up than he is being serious. A softcore neoliberal thing like the TPP doesn't mesh with his recent neocon security agreement. He's giving mixed signals, but the strongest signals (as in actual policy being forced on other countries) indicate the TPP is going to stay dead. At least until Pence becomes President, but by then there might be too much damage for it to happen.

Syrian army expects strike tonight; army put on high alert.

Here we go boys. Strikes would begin in ~two hours. The typical window is from midnight to 4:30~AM. If nothing happens between that period, a strike probably won't happen at all.

Trump Attorney Cohen Is Subject Of Months-Long Federal Criminal Investigation

npr.org/2018/04/13/602278477/trump-attorney-cohen-is-subject-of-months-long-federal-criminal-investigation

Although the U.S. Attorney's Office conceded on Friday that it has not yet filed charges, prosecutors wrote they are "constrained from disclosing certain facts that would provide the court with a more complete factual background."

Even so, prosecutors said they have provided Cohen and his lawyers with documents that describe the federal criminal statutes under which Cohen is being investigated.

How long do you think it'll take before he cuts a deal?

The only firing happening tonight is Trump firing Rosenstein.

Any signs of shit going down in Syria tonight? Was there signs before the last attack?

You'll know when the ground starts shaking.

depends on how full pentagon press lot is, if it's still full around 7, then probably
in other bad news, Trump and Bolton going full retard
President Trump:
- wants a sweeping attack against #Asad
- pushed back against DoD caution about hitting #Iran's and #Russia's forces
- wants to cripple the regime's CW capacity
- is rallying allies to join the U.S. strikes

Seems like Mattis has been the only one holding back here

why even live lads

Stop being so alarmist

Thanks for all the info, user. I guess we'll just have to wait and see again. After seeing this stuff about Mattis being the one to hold Trump back, it's hilarious to see retards still claiming that Trump is -an "anti-interventionist"

That really sucks tbh. A world where much of nature has recovered, you and your gf in great health because food isn't poison. No more advertising or shopping culture.

Mattis is completely right about everything here.

Trump is ignorant, aggressive, and dangerously short-sighted. There is a very real possibility that he could start an unintended conflict with other powers simply through arrogant stupidity.

Based Bolivia does it again
youtu.be/LzrhSesjyOk?t=3621

I think Mattis mostly worries about starting the unintended conflict it in such a way that they lose the first engagement. Likely he only wants to wait for more troops to arrive to the theater.

Regardless of what happens in the next 48 hours, Trump is essentially giving the Israeli/Saudi/Neo-Ottoman axis the green light for intensifying the conflict with Syria/Iran/Russia. A wider middle eastern war seems inevitable.

If the rumors of widespread strike are true then yes, the odds increase significantly, even to the point of the war kicking off this year

Turkey would be on Assad's side to counter the Kurds, who are at this point Israel and US stooges. Don't fall for the bookchin meme.

Haha, no. Assad isfriendly with Rоjava, Turkey on the other hand is getting arms to anti Assad islamist groups.

May is so fucked on this, the libs are having to resort to "WAAAHHH STOP THE WAR DON'T PROTEST RUSSIAN BOBINGS" and even that is falling through. If May strikes without a vote, she will be a cuck of Trump and people will see her for that, if she has a vote she will likely lose. Also all of this is having a lot of "Corbyn is a traitor" types actually say "wait a second he is the only bloke that doesn't want to send people to die in the desert, he's alright". In short, May has forgotten white proletarian leave voters are isolationists and thus have more in common with Corbyn than the neocon/natlibs.

Trump Sees Inquiry Into Cohen as Greater Threat Than Mueller

Nobody said Mattis didn't want to do something about Syria. He just doesn't want to start a war with Russia.

No because Trump isn't that smart. What fucked up Nixon in the very end was that he had made records of everything for his own desire, Trump doesn't do that because Trump is a moron. More importantly Trump does all his backroom dealing by word-of-mouth, a classic tactic used by his kind (landlords, especially ones from NYC) to do business in general. Cohen gets fucked because he made too many records since he's a lawyer, not a landlord. More importantly, Mueller and Trump have the same goals and ideas about things, Mueller definitely sees him more as a partner than an enemy. Just has he did with Clinton, Bush and Obama.

Likewise this is all second hand info, no documents confirming it. It's very likely it's just made up or misinterpreted information. Watch what Mueller himself does (indictments, charges, etc) not what people say about what he's supposedly doing.

I'm willing to bet $50 that it's a combination of Israel formally annexing the West Bank/Golan Heights and a joint US-IDF occupation of southern Syria. Because at this point, who could stop them besides Russia themselves?

Mattis is losing the battle with White House on #Syria; leaks mean he wanted to record publicly his caution.

You're wrong because they already confirmed that people were recording the conversations around Trump's lawyer when talking to him
