Ironically this strengthens the Israeli Communists since the arabs will vote for that list.
Changes shit though: the result will yield right and zionist centre-left blocs that will make the Arabs and Communists kingmakers. Unironically may be the first gov with Arabs in it.
21st century Zionism is cancelled lads.

Totally not a military junta.

Also OP, tbh might be orth switching your "about Russia" news from RT to Moscow Times; the latter aren't owned by the Kremlin and have some good shit.

Really do wonder what this guy and his ilk will do in a post-american world order. They are so used to ruining everything and then fucking off to Miami or even Europe. What happens when they can't do that?

They'll pivot to Moscow (if it's still run by Putin) tbh: as-long-as the tit gives milk. I mean the model of these wanks are no different from the pro-Russian Illiberal democracies (Hungary, Turkey, Israel).

U.S. Supreme Court Rules That World Bank Can Be Sued
The World Bank can be sued when its overseas investments go awry. And so can some other international organizations.That is the clear message from the U.S. Supreme Court, which last week issued a 7-1 decision in Jam v. International Finance Corporation, ruling for the first time that international financial institutions, including various branches of the bank and other U.S.-based organizations like the Inter-American Development Bank, can be subject to lawsuits in cases where their investments in foreign development projects are alleged to have caused harm to local communities.

Move To Pull Consumer Protection Rule Heightens Debate Over Payday Lending

Under the proposed rule, which did not take effect, lenders would have to determine that borrowers could afford to repay their loans. Now the bureau has proposed rescinding the rule. It is the first high-profile move by Kathy Kraninger, who was confirmed as the CFPB's director in late 2018.

Brecht: A new film about the famed left-wing German dramatist
Interest in the famed left-wing German dramatist and poet Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) is undergoing something of a revival. Recent signs of that renewed interest include the 2014 publication of the important biography of Brecht by Stephen Parker and the 2018 movie Mack the Knife—Brecht's Threepenny Film, directed by Joachim A. Lang.And now, this year’s Berlinale featured a new film biography of Brecht by one of Germany’s leading directors, Heinrich Breloer (Die Manns—Ein Jahrhundertroman [The Manns—Novel of a Century], 2001; Speer und Er [literally, “Speer and He,” released as Speer and Hitler: The Devil's Architect], 2005; and Buddenbrooks [based on the Thomas Mann novel, released as Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family], 2008).Breloer makes films on historical subjects in the manner of so-called documentary dramas. He combines documentary material with dramatic scenes and superimposed comments in a dynamic fashion. In so doing, Breloer has been able to win large television audiences for films dealing with key figures and epochs of German history. He has adopted the same approach for his new work about Brecht.

Big Capital, the Working Class, and US Imperialism: a Brief Look at Recent History
Today, the two looming “existential threats” are the possibility of nuclear war, and unprecedented human-caused climate change, yet neither of these seems to unduly concern our plutocrats. Capitalism thrives on war, and we forget this historical fact at our peril. Nor do they seem worried about the drastic consequences of global warming, which has been denied, ignored, or downplayed in the corporate media. In fact, it may appear that the big business oligarchs who run the US and dictate policy to a large part of the rest of the world fear very little, perhaps least of all the world’s working classes. These people suffer most from capitalism: they die in large numbers in imperialist wars and are chronically victimized by unemployment and economic crises. They are (and will continue to be) the main victims of capitalist-caused climate change.

Start shilling for Russia

This actually makes sense in the case of Brazilian politics as the coup isn't seen by the right as a BAZED Military Junta killing commies and instead they rationalise it by saying that the army killed ALL radicals left and right and protected democracy and the centre (Faux elections were still held)
