This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

A new week, a new news thread to see how much engagement it gets. We plan on continuing these threads for a little while to see how much engagement we get from them.

Rules: include sources in (at least) every top-level comment (unless it's a comment asking for sources), and don't post clearly fake stories

The US is saving money by getting rid of all their old shit, and they're using it to establish a war debt that allows them to own Ukraine. They're also getting a massive die off of MAMs in Ukraine, so the country is effectively a vassal at this point. They'll keep doing this to weaken Russia and to gather more and more intelligence on Russian capabilities. The assumption being that the US needs to know what Russian capabilities are in order to beat them in a larger-scale conflict.

We should expect the US to extend the current conflicts for long after they have gathered sufficient intelligence because they need to get inside the Russian OODA loop using the Intel they're gathering. Once they have enough points of attack, they'll establish a new vector that Russia will have to react to on a cadence that will stretch the known Russian capabilities, plus an estimated margin, to the breaking point.

This may have already been attempted with some of the agitation we saw in countries neighboring Russia, in Iran, and with the Wagner event. Hopefully the US made their attempt already and failed. But it's still possible that they have not yet even begun to fight.
