    Cuba needs nukes.

    I feel really bad for the people of Cuba. They have so much dignity, ingenuity and potential. They could have been the China of the Caribbean, had they not been under constant siege by a brutal fascist empire.

    He always does this shit. No matter how the county responds the regime just claims “they refused to make a deal” and blocks the public from seeing how the county responds. Just like Afghanistan was trying to turn over Osama.

    No one seems to know for sure what Trump means by “make a deal”, but it’s reasonable to assume he wants the government to effective end itself and hand over the country to the US. Cuba survived the Special Period with conceding, I believe they will get through this, too.

                To be fair for Lelouch it was also not 30D chess from his side, he only decided this after his every other plan failed.

      He’s great at making a deal. His version of this is “give me everything I want or I’ll kill you and destroy your country.” He has all the worlds military power at his disposal and the willingness to use it and the backing of the troops. He can make any deal that he wants.

      It’s probably the only time he’s ever actually been savvy at making deals.

                I dunno, I think there’s a bunch of eurolibs who actually believe that kind of stuff. I think there’s also people like pete-eat who really believe it. Technocracy is kind of part of neoliberalism, so that’s how those types square the circle.

          I’ve seen him help various states such as the Allied Sahel States but didn’t think he was going to posture towards a direct U.S confrontation.

          And China seems to have taken Socialism in one state to the extreme. I got Chinese intervention right above U.S left getting our act together.

          Subscribing to the international law model is equivalent to inviting foreign capital in to invest in China - it’s using the opponent’s energy against it.

          One thing that has been true for a while now is that while the US claims to be all about international law, it violates it constantly. But the US continues to use it justify sanctions and violence and rally many countries to common cause.

          If China also subscribes to International Law and behaves better than the US, why would it be any different than say Luxembourg or Zimbabwe doing the same? Because of economics. As China ascends to the dominant economic position in the globe, and as it becomes capable of protecting other nations, more and more countries will be able to use International Law against the US.

      Don’t have to. Just bully each one, most fold, make examples out of those who don’t with limited strikes, assassinations, kidnappings, sanctions, etc until they fold and move on. Cuba’s the only one that cannot really fold. The only thing they can offer the US is total capitulation and installation of a fascist neo-liberal dictatorship for the west.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
