So what's the left's take on this week's events? Too much happened for me to keep up. Libs are horrified by the whole Mattis thing–and to be fair, he could be replaced by an actual war hawk (relatively speaking), but on the whole it seems like this week was good for us (rip Kurds tho)

Are you trying to say that the Jews somehow control America and it's not the other way around?

For American proxies they sure do love to fight America’s allies and cooperate with its enemies.

Yeah?
The idea that a state or group can't change allegiances and alliances is childish and ahistorical and with the withdrawl of US Protection and support the "proxy" status has effectivly ended

The US withdraw from Syria is good both because it’s getting the burgers out and will force cooperation between Assad and the Kurds. I’m sure Assad doesn’t want to see his country occupied by roaches anymore than the Kurds want to be steamrolled by them.

nope
once the US plug is pulled on weaponry and financing, you can forget about them being effective regardless of whatever the hell they wish.

try reading a book

hit me up when you come back from that twilight zone you're in.

he's probably going to gas the shit out of them, and justly so. They deserve it.

Is this book good? I've seen it recommended a lot, but the author seems kind of neolib.

he's a mainstream liberal
like you.

the USA is no longer supporting the Kurds.

I know, because we're getting the hell out.
read the thread before you reply like that next time.

so then Israel is no longer supporting the Kurds you retard. your chain of logic is a month old, get with the times.

Unless you're talking about the Iraqi Kurds and peshmerga you're wrong. The yp..g/,SD..F mostly made up of syrian and Turkish kurds, made the US deal about two years ago.

okay

I never claimed this
It is obvious they would lose in a straight up altercation with Turkey
Thus why they will likely seek new partners with the US withdrawl like Damascus
He didn't claim they were literally Russian allies he pointed out that they have collaborated with both Damascus and Russia in the past and will now likely collaborate more if they wish to survive
The Kurds while trategy has been to play Bougie powers against each other so it wouldn't be surprising

OP/ED

How Mao would have evaluated the Yellow Vests – Slavoj Zizek
The French Yellow Vest movement exposes a problem at the heart of today’s politics. Too much adherence to popular “opinion” and not enough innovation and fresh ideas.Already a quick glance at the imbroglio makes it clear that we are caught in multiple social struggles. The tension between the liberal establishment and the new populism, the ecological struggle, efforts in support of feminism and sexual liberation, plus ethnic and religious battles and the desire for universal human rights. Not to mention, trying to resist digital control of our lives.So, how to bring all these struggles together without simply privileging one of them as the “true” priority? Because this balance provides the key to all other struggles.

Behind the epidemic of police killings in America: Class, poverty and race
According to the US Census Bureau, 328 million people reside in the United States. Non-Hispanic whites make up 60.7 percent, black or African American 13.4 percent, and Hispanics or Latino 18.1 percent of the population. The annual median household income (MHI) in 2016 dollars amounts to $55,322 and the percentage of the population living in poverty stands at 12.3 percent. There is wide variation in these figures from state to state. Table 2 below highlights these facts. The table also demonstrates a broadly uniform phenomenon: the areas in which police killings occurred—either the cities and towns, or in the case of rural districts, the counties—almost always have lower median household incomes and more people living in poverty than the statewide average.

Two Populisms, Not One
Two very different “populisms” that have arisen in response to neoliberal capitalism in the West.A left-leaning social-democratic “progressive populism” targets the capitalist concentration of wealth and power and the unbridled pursuit of private profit as enemies of the people and the common good. This populism is egalitarian and radically democratic. It tends towards socialism. Its attractive policy agenda, supported by working-class majorities, includes the downward distribution of wealth, the expansion of the social safety net, university quality health care, increased minimum wages and union power, public jobs programs, and the protection of livable ecology (a Green New Deal). Its diverse political figureheads include Jeremy Corbyn (leader of the British Labour Party), Jean-Luc Melenchon (head of La France Insoumie), Yanis Varourfakis (leader of the new Progressive International), and even Bernie Sanders. ..
