    I’ll be attending a lecture regarding Cuban’s climate vision this weekend, organized by (or in co operation with) Cuban scientists I believe. Looking forward to it. It’s always nice to have Cuban related activities here. Our party remains good friends with the Cuban comrades.

        Why not blow up one of your best peace talk options, shifting the EU further under US control, just to own the libs?

        Its related to the statements made by some ghouls in the US about setting the stage for military intervention in México.

      Well it was bound to happen, I suppose. Opening another front didn’t work in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, but looks like it might just work in Georgia.

      Guess what, I called it.

        I’ve watched a couple of videos on the transparency law being suppressed, can I ask what’s going on to make you think a second front is opening? Georgia has been a comprador state for a while right, what’s changing?

          All post-Soviet republics are comprador to some degree, Rusia included. However, the current Georgian government has been taking steps to try and “sit on two chairs” as we say here. They put Saakashvili in jail for example (that’s the guy who became president after the last colour coup, also was advisor to post-maidan UA government). They’ve been much less agressive that what was expected following the start of the SMO, etc.

          As to why I think a second front is opening, well, take a gander:

          This is from March 8th. There are simply too many parallels with how color coups have been organized in the past. And unlike CNN subscribers I have no faith in this being just some “protest for freedom”, nor do I believe that it’s just “fighting for sovereignity”. There’s been too many precedents in the past 30 years of how these things go and what follows. And there have been suspiciously timed flare-ups of violence all over post-Soviet area during 2022. A massive riot (for the lack of a better term) in Kazakhstan, just before SMO. Another round of violence in Karabakh region. Artillery “exchange” between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan which just so happened to coincide with SCO summit.

          Plus there’s been talks about cooperation between post-coup Ukraine and Georgia around the 2008 war. I don’t have sources on hand (it’s been a long while), but I know that Russian media claimed that Ukraine was actively supplying Georgia with anti-air systems just prior to Georgia’s assault on Ossetia. Systems, that were reportedly quite efficient against Russian air force. And nowadays there’s a “Georgian Legion” (coincidentally sharing a name with an SS formation from the WWII) fighting in Ukraine on Kiev’s behalf.

          Now does that mean I expect some kind of military operation against Russia from Georgia’s side should the coup be successful? Not necessary. But it will create another troublesome region, another point on the border that will require attention and resources. Or I could be wrong, and the first thing the new government will do is to start shelling Ossetia again.

    Lewis saw how many Angelenos were attracted to colorful yet dangerous demagogues such as Gerald B. Winrod, the far-right Kansas evangelist known as the Jayhawk Nazi, who was later shown to be in the service of the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda; Father Charles Coughlin, whose weekly anti-Semitic rants reached 14 million people; and William Dudley Pelley, head of the Silver Legion of America (commonly known as the Silver Shirts), a fascist and anti-Semitic organization whose members donned uniforms much like the ones Brownshirts wore that they sewed themselves so as not to wear anything touched by Jews.

    There’s something fucky happening in Georgia (the one in Caucasus, not the US one). Looks like a second colour revolution

      I don’t think much would change. The US could get blanketed by nukes and jobs would still find a way to call you to ask if you’ll be in tomorrow.

        Something about him posting “fake news” on Twitter, complete with calling him a “lying liar” at the end. The question was just asking what country he was the president of, but had to get those shots in apparently.

        Like, its stupid, but the timing is so uh… salient that I can’t help but think the feds are involved. For a fucking pub quiz (it was geeks who drink who run events nationally, so not just some random bars own thing)
