One of the best stories to tell children.
Looks more fit and cared for (teeth and such), with conventionally attractive face with 50 than most do in their end 20s. I say to deny the looks would be a move that hurts more honestly.
Assad did deliver weapons to AANES, is he a proxy against himself?
The analysis if actions and operations align and if an entity is a proxy can’t stop with labeling something as proxy or not to mean good or bad. Was China delivering weapons in conflicts on the side of US forces during the last 70 years a US proxy? Is ISIL a Turkish proxy? Is Syria and is Hizbollah (and as such Lebanon) just an Iranian proxy? No.
AANES got its own goals, to say “it is an US proxy” is absolutely reductive. Much of what happens there is cause of the relations they are in, even without any US influence. The Syrian Civil war is very complex and you actually need to parse through 10-15 years of material to get a grasp of it. Russia did lobby for the UNO to include Rojava as partner in talks related to Syrian peace talks, Russia has an office of Rojava in Moscow.
AANES is in conflict with Turkey. AANES is in need of partners and it enjoys high support within the territories it controls. It is a typical thing to neglect Kurdish, Jesidic, Arabic struggles. Kurdish women who did actually hold talks in my city and conferences, women who fought, who tell you about Jineologie and about emancipatory societies are labeled as “pathetic Western leftists” here. Anti-Imperialism can be emancipatory and progressive.

Bombings by Turkey make it more likely for ISIL prisoners to escape. Is Turkey furthering ISIL?
In doing this they have sided with ISIS, which is a proxy of the US and the Zionist entity and which time and time again proves that it is working toward the same regional goals as the US imperialists and the neocolony.
Assad did deliver weapons to the de-facto government of Rojava and thus the YPG. Is Assad an US proxy against himself?

This shows well the front line that was relevant. The conflict against ISIL was only part of the civil war, for years, so a long time, Assad and allies did focus on controlling parts in the West and doing operations against rebel forces, including some parts of Islamist forces. The operations in the east were at a latter point. However I do understand that your read of the situation is basically the Hisbollah position. Not a lot to discuss between us.
They have pushed Nazi Germany levels of death on people.
You really don’t have to take a comparison like that. It would also not be true directly (at least 17 million dead due to explicit Nazi action outside of soldiers).
The killing (which is what capitalist states through their inaction and upkeep of private economies did) of people during the Covid pandemic stand on its own.
You don’t have to relate to the Congo “Free State” either, even though a similar number of people might’ve died there on the hands of Belgian colonialist hell.
I do agree with the attack on states and their ineffective measures though and would support truth commissions.
Putin didn’t destroy ISIS in Syria.
That was a success of a broad coalition and the main force were the people living there on the ground, often organized by Peschmerga / YPJ / YPG / etc.
I know it is a meme, still a different framing would be good to strengthen our comrades in Rojava and the rest of Syria.
Maybe it does dox me… we are using AR for power plant related tasks with some components for which we have service contracts with a third party and the manufacturers. Really does increase productivity quite a bit, still in most cases the people 30 years on the job and who know the machines well after decades on them can deal with most, too. However not always and there are a couple of them who do not actually have a mental model of the machinery and they could profit from that, too.
Tools can emancipate us, or be pressures on wages and the labour class. The question is who controls them, how they are used and in most countries also what kind of policies alter their usage.
I read up on it in a German encyclopedia and it was claimed that less than 10 people were confirmed dying due to the Great Depression. Which obviously is a bit odd.
The 7th October massacre (specifically the Nova festival) was genocidal and facilitated by Hamas, either directly, or indirectly by them not having control of the other troops they worked with. In either case as de-facto government they are responsible and have to indict the perpetrators.
There are plenty of groups not led by Deif, Haniyeh or Sinwar in Gaza.
