Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
US troops in Niger have still not been removed by the Pentagon after Niger declared it illegal last month. The troops are unable to leave, in some cases extending deployment, and cannot receive supplies or even mail.
Story: US military refuses to leave country they are illegally occupying
Media: Here’s why the troops are the real victims
Gaetz is correct, the US could have all those troops back in the US tomorrow if they wanted to. The truth is, they don’t want to. The US military is best in the world at one and only one area: if they don’t want to do something (like evacuate a base), they are great at dragging things out indefinitely. I saw in story about Burkina Faso, a US military official said something like “we are coordinating now to find a way we can meet together and start on a plan for eventual evacuation”, which is obviously their way of saying they don’t plan on leaving.
The CIA probably told the military they need a few more months to complete their plans on a coup against the current junta.
Iraq told the yanks to leave years ago and they're still there. They're dug in like ticks.
Siege those fucking yanks until they starve to death or crawl out to the nearest airport
It's very funny that the Niger coup leaders had close ties to the USA, even appearing at the Indy 500 and accepting US weapons deliveries, and that they are now turning against the USA.
How many times has this happened? This has been the case with so many groups and leaders, the most infamous being Bin Laden.
Most infamous I think is Saddam Hussein
I've heard Saddam believed he'd gotten a subtle nod from Bush original recipe for the Kuwait invasion and was surprised when the US responded the way they did.
Furthermore, by the time the US intervened the "war" was basically over, Iraq had effortlessly bullied the ~~oil franchise~~ "sovereign nation" of Kuwait into conceding its demands - Iraq claimed they had been slant drilling across the border to steal Iraqi oil and wanted them to stop - and a peace deal mediated by the other Gulf states was about to be signed when Bush abruptly decided he was polling too low and needed to become a wartime president, had the Iraqi army bombed mercilessly as it retreated basically without fighting, blew up a huge swathe of Iraq's power stations and sewage treatment plants (which is what you do when you're the good guy defending justice) and then sanctioned it to hell.
And Bush still lost the election to Clinton, who did the same thing Bush did with but this time with Yugoslavia.
The difference is the Bill Dawg was feining for some Hillussy
From Foreign Policy: CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran
That was the original origin story of ISIS but they were violently retconned back into being puppets for the empire.
I wonder what their water source is. Perhaps they go sicko mode on the pipes?
My understanding from the article is that they're having to buy food from local sources, and there's no outside supplies getting in. I'm guessing the Nigerians haven't gone as far as cutting off utilities yet.
Shut off water and only allow tanker trucks with enough for drinking in until they leave. They'll get so tired of smelling themselves and eating MRE's that they'll have to go.
Come on, guys. Just start walking, and get on a boat somewhere. If challenged, say, "I cannot follow an order which breaks international law. SorryIdon'tmaketherules.
