What?

Yeah actually what the hell is up with that development?

Iran dropped the dollar, the US already sent them a list of unacceptable conditions. War with Iran is close, it is best to make sure your population doesn't go extinct if it escalates.

Sweden is bricking it over a NATO-CIS war and knows that either one could invade it for the sake of access (although likely it would side with NATO via proxy if the EU lliance system, which overlapps but is purely defensive).
Also the thing ends with "Ignore all declarations of surrender by governmental forces, resistance will never cease under any conditions". The Swedish will go fucking hard.

Donald Trump Jr met Gulf states emissary offering election help – report

theguardian.com/us-news/2018/may/19/donald-trump-jr-meeting-saudi-arabia-united-arab-emirates-report


Apparently, there were TWO meetings with foreign powers. And like with not implimenting Russian sanctions, I assume pulling out of the Iran Deal was payment for services rendered.

However, I doubt Trump has any clue that he's being lead straight to war. I think he's getting played by everyone.

Now that we're coming to grips with Israel/SA essentially trying to bribe Trump to fuck over Russia, and Trump pretending like he's Putin's biggest fan in a bid for their support resulting in SA/Israel/Russia expressing support for Trump…

Can we all now ask these questions:

What was it about Democratic contender HRC that started an international rally against her?

Why didn't they seem to mind Bernie?

Why did they """"""SUDDENLY""""""" ←(LOLOLOL) decide to risk intense backlash to have a say in American foreign policy?

Should we look to them more in the future on advice for future U.S. leaders? (Ya know instead of toxic American exceptionalism and interventionalism…)

Asking because I'm American and sick of the hostile discussion towards Russia framing them as villains, and want to focus on how if they did work with Trump campaign then they weren't alone and international intrigue in American politics is nothing new. Hell, as an American socialist I like Russia… They have better manners towards diplomacy than the Dems or GOP. They just get shit coverage by American news.

Oh shit

Best news on here today. Now to time for the ebil gommunists to full blown activate the unions. If they start performing activist outreach to them it could turn the tides against muh Bezos.

I think it's time to make legit looking Union Organizations across the internet, and creating a strong social media presence.

Well there are two main groups organising unions atm: the DSА on a locale level, and the IWW in a sectional manner. Vagas is the former, and there is a DemSocAmerica chapter there. Considering their username has "#HandsOffSyria" in it I imagine it is pretty damn decent. If this strike does well, it could grow and continue to organise the area. The irony is the harsher US laws against unions grow, the harder they will fight back. Shit is gon get lit.

Ideally the wives and sugar babies would be purged along with with Porky, as for the children, they will be eductaded along the socialist line.

your post is cringey go away

this is fuckin horrifying

Between this and the final union bust by the supreme court America really has entered a second 19th century. Hopefully it's some kind of opportunity for socialists to go "see, there's no compromise to be made that they wont go back on."

Why are all their noses pointy?

All Israel ever does is whinge, whinge, fucking whinge. I swear to God everytime they fucking whinge I have the voice of Eric Cartman pop inside my head going "But muuuuuum, muh 6 gorillion!"

Yep, exactly. When socialists start getting large numbers like in the 1930s, the elites will try to push something like the New Deal to save themselves. But as you already know, the New Deal has been almost entirely dismantled. If they ever offer anything similar to that in the future, we can just point to history as proof that these kind of reforms will never stick. We need full revolution no matter what.

Mitch McConnell's base might be cracking, and the pressure cooker is on here. Will they get desperate and try to make a false flag fly?? Or will we go faux new deal 2.0?

A false flagwon't work, the entire enviroment of conspiracy has generated a scene where it is actually kinda impossible to build consensus: even the US is doing a shitty job of justifying its rivalry with Russia. The landscape of the post 9/11 world is impossible to dominate.
And a new deal can't happen, it only happened last time because porky needed it. The US at a minimum will get an Attlee style economic revolution or utter collapse.

They don't need to even stage a false flag. Just go to war with North Korea or Iran. That would be enough to stoke up nationalist sentiment and distract people.

Except nah, remember Trump was elected on an isolationist platform, US public is sick of war. Also fiscally the country cannot afford it.

Yeah, that is true. I think war is wearing thin for a lot of Americans. Even the massive amounts of propaganda they have been pumping out recently doesn't seem to be making people more war hungry. In that case, they have only two options. One, go in a social democratic direction to try and appease people. Or two, just straight up fascism. They would be able to blame everyone's woes on the blacks, or the Mexicans, or the Jews, while they run out the backdoor with all the money. We are already seeing a lot of this. In this sense though, I am very glad for Trump. If anyone ever tries this, they will be compared to Trump, and it will basically be political suicide. If Trump were at all competent, he could have created fascism here. But because he was an idiot, now people will luckily associate fascism with his idiocy.

US porky will never go Natsuc, perhaps Italian fash but that again required a degree of central control the lolbert militias will never tolorate.
As for socdem, the thing is the people pushing socdem in the US are cryptos like Bernie, so even if porky tried to push for that it would be moved ever leftwards, especially as the unions grow again. The US is not as hopeless as people think, but any gains from the left will cause blood, sweat, and tears: oh and possibly a botched military coup. I honestly can see the place decending into either civil war ormevem a warlord period purelynbecause of its nations. Up the CSA and Reed, whcih side are you on boys?!

I think that the most important thing to do is to make sure that there is an organized and ==informed== movement when the time comes. Because nothing would be worse than an outburst of anger that is directed the wrong way. We don't want a repeat of the Khmer Rouge after all. We know there will be an outburst at some point, and it is our job to direct that anger at the right place. If we can't do that, we are completely done for, not just as a movement, but as a nation.

We'll see. This precariousness of recent events is precarious. Pompeo and Trump are practically begging the radicals to ACTUALLY commit a terrorist attack on the U.S. Now if it's a death count of 50 than no big deal, if it's a death count of 1000 with children we are going to war. If it's a death count of 50,000 to 100,000 from a WMD or water poisoning the U.S. will push the world into the dark ages. Recall the Saudis were in the U.S. for 17 months prior to 9/11. This was the result of throwing a wrench in intelligence communications, and reducing priority of Islamic terrorist groups towards domestic priorities. Also of note, a never identified female CIA officer in counter terrorism took the 5th on why the intelligence of known Al Qaeda Saudi Nationals going to flight school was sat on in Alec station (Gina Haspel?) George Tenet also confirmed in testimony they had the intelligence, but promised to find out why it wasn't shared with the FBI and then he never did. REMEMBER it Osama Bin Laden had promised a violent strike on the U.S. was imminent. A major theme was disdain for the FBI within the national security circle, and the immediate desire 24 hours after the attack was to connect 9/11 to Iraq as was later confessed by Condoleeza Rice and others involved with the investigation.

So in essence what I'm saying here. Is if a radical decides to rage quit this life because of Israel, Palestinine, Iran and Trump's Middle Eastern policy… Trump gets to say "I told you so!" That's when bombs fly, boots hit the ground and nowhere on Earth becomes safe from him rage quitting with nuclear weapons.

I don't think it is going to happen honestly. When was the last time a foreign national committed a terrorist attack that killed someone in the US? I'm pretty sure that 9/11 was the last time. After all the shit we pulled after 9/11, the fact that we have not been attacked once after that shows me that the chance of another attack, let alone a huge one like you are talking about, is unlikely.

You don't get to proclaim victory because you are proud of ignorance. I love seeing critiques of leftism that are clearly from people who actually know what they are talking about. I wasn't always a leftist either. At one point I considered myself a libertarian and I am registered as a Republican voter. I just haven't gotten around to changing that yet.

The american presidential election isnt about being smart. Its about being cool

Thats what libs dont understand

"im the most experienced and i read policy"- a fucking liberal nerd

You want to know the real heart of the matter? Leftwingers think their educations make them morally superior. So they cant help themselves, they love to correct people, love to be the smartest guy in the room. And a smart right winger that understands this can make a left winger walk into the smug trap. Forever making them come off as an elitist cunt.

Why the fuck do you think trump takes pics of himself eating KFC and Burgers?

If there is one thing you have to admit about trump its he knows about entertainment, image, and how he comes off to people.
This dude had a reality tv show and is best friends with vince mcmahon. He was never accepted by the new york elite because he lack their bourgeois decorum.
He is the blue collar billionaire. Thats his gimmick.

He set himself up as the peoples champ, and every liberal and left wing retard that rushes to correct him to signal their education and class position or insult him is just playing the heel in his little play.

Trump is everything middle america would be if they came into money. Golden toilet and all.

You're not wrong. But that isn't what I am arguing about. It's about that you are conflating us with liberals. We are not, we are not capitalists. Taxes and social security aren't socialism. I'm just saying if you are gonna come here and "drop redpills" at least know the definition of communism.

Trump is from Queens, New York and is only going to act in his class interest. Which will screw over all the people who voted for him. Liberals (Democrats who are increasingly not even left of center) and the right are arguing over substanceless garbage. This is nothing but who has the "correct optics". Democrats don't even oppose Trump, they just don't like the way he goes about the same shit Obama was doing.
