So on Monday Trump announces 'Project Freedom' - a huge military operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz; Iran fires off a couple of drone strikes, and Trump immediately announces that 'Project Freedom' is cancelled.

“We have all the cards,” Trump said - in fact almost the exact opposite is true.

Trump says pausing 'Project Freedom' Hormuz operation in push for Iran deal

Washington is maintaining a blockade of Iran's ports in a bid to pressure Iran to make a deal to end the war that the US and Israel launched on February 28. Trump, on April 8, declared a ceasefire with Iran that he has since extended, even though negotiations with Tehran have been at a standstill.

Anyone got a couch (or better) I can sleep on during an event in Brisbane. 4 nights over the last weekend in August?

(I'm serious, although I expect this to have 0 chance of working)

I knew brutality of Putin’s regime from my personal experience. And that is why comrades, I just wonder – are we all on the same page here? – Putin’s Russia is fascist monstrosity of the totalitarian regime, that hunts down LGBTQ+, hunts down anarchists (case of the “Net”, Tyumen case, and much much more!), hunts down even Marxists (Case of Marxists group from Ufa). Regime which finance right wing parties and fascists all over the globe - a vanguard of ultra-right (St. Petersburg meeting of «paladins» – great example), attacks foreign countries (Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya, Moldova, Syria, Mali, Libya, etc.) oppress its own people, censor everything, kill opposition figures, support worst religious bigotry, completely destroys democracy in Russia and tries to do it abroad. Putin’s Russia means monopolized capitalism in economy and fascism in politics. For monopolists inside Russia there is only one way to get more profits – and that is expansionism. They often cant do much against its rivals - western countries in terms of soft power, thus a military conquest of foreign nations unfortunately is a frequent option.
It is a deliberate enemy of all left, all progressive forces. It must be stopped, if you want a future without global all-out war.

Both the United States and Israel were founded and exist on land taken during ongoing genocides. Settler colonialism drives these genocides, and both nations share an ideology that justifies the theft and rationalizes the killing.

The Guardian
RT by @ilvestoomas: Russian ultra-patriot and Z-blogger Maxim Kalashnikov (not a Western liberal) predicts: “Putin’s time is coming to an end. A non-triumphant war will lead to a major power transfer, chaos and instability.” He sees the elites deploying a weak puppet to try to normalize with the West and lift sanctions. At the same time: weakened security forces, angry SVO veterans, economic crisis, increased crime, ethnic conflicts and the risk of a Soviet-style collapse. “Prepare for something like the late 80s and early 90s.” Even the hard-line patriots are now seeing the cracks. When even the Z-bloggers start preparing for post-Putin chaos… then things are really serious. What do you think – will Russia manage a smooth transition or will it be a new 90s?
