The imperial core is continuing the process of self-cannibalization as the interimperial wars between Europe and the US over resource and territorial control continue. Greenland, populated with less than a hundred thousand heavily exploited people, is the newest territory to fall under Trump's gaze. The main draw is the mineral resources present there, of which it boasts nickel, copper, cobalt, and platinum, and much more than remains unexplored under the ice. But the ice is melting, and profit must be made. There is an additional element of wanting Arctic territory to counter Chinese and especially Russian interests and aims; Russia is increasingly eyeing the northern Arctic route as an alternative to more vulnerable routes through the Suez Canal or around Africa, and is investing heavily in icebreakers for that purpose.
However, even if Europe possessed the desire to resist American annexations - and they absolutely do not, at the end of the day - they do not even have the ability. Denmark may, to a lesser or greater extent, make angry sounds and talk about national honour or some such, but their military would be trampled underfoot by even the New York Police Department, let alone a concerted military effort by the US. If Trump wants Greenland, he will have it. This will naturally increase the grumbling in Europe about reconsidering the Transatlantic alliance, and that grumbling may, in the medium-term future, as the American Empire continues its decline, lead to meaningful results. But in the short term, Europe shall have to bear whatever Trump throws at them, for they obviously cannot now ally with Russia, who was the natural counterweight to American interests for decades before 2022.

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 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.
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.
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.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
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.
Damn, they couldn't even go a day without moving the goal posts to wiggle out of the ceasefire agreement.

Charitable interpretation: Biden knows he has put the US on an irreversible path towards destruction and he's saying that's a good thing for the world. 
The first sentence reads like a threat.
Look upon my works and tremble ah president.

Blue MAGA trying to cope give Biden credit like didn't circumvent congress to send weapons for this genocide. How many issues has he circumvented congress on? Just demonic
As an aside, Congress has no power to approve or block weapons sales. That power lies solely with the president, so he didn't go around them. He has to tell them about weapons sales, I think, but they can't do anything to stop it (outside of changing the law).
there are laws on weapon sales like the Leahy Act
That is essentially a compliance law placed on the executive branch, and it requires the executive to police itself. The Arms Export Control Act of 1976 gives the President pretty much sole authority over weapons sales, and there's not really any mechanism for Congress to block an arms sale.
Blue MAGA wishing for gaza to be razed even more and them wishing arab americans to be expelled because they didn't cosign this genocide only for this news to happen which was a bare minimum.....is an unfathomably bad look even if its very temporary
One particularly common line that I've seen is that 'Trump and Netanyahu have been illegally in contact just to make Biden look bad'. It's taking the pathetic nature of Biden's administration and just running with it.

I just found something spooky
The vote difference between Trump and Harris is almost exactly the same amount as the pre-genocide population of Gaza, 2.2 million votes/people
So, what is up with BadEmpanada? Seems like some neoliberal polandball youtuber got angry at him, and BadEmpanada fans trolled the guy so hard, he thinks BadEmpanada owns 200 different twitter accounts.
BE is basically just a Breadtube guy who also really loves arguing on Twitter. Gets banned a lot for being a little too 
Seems like some neoliberal polandball youtuber got angry at him
this is an extreme understantment of bad empandas enemy here lol, from my understanding kraut is a "former" nazi who still takes great pleasure in being racist towards russians (and maybe palestinians?). the quality of his videos is even worse than you might suspect, Fredda (norwegian marxist ytber, videos are generally good but he's got a bad trot streak in him imo that seeps thru a bit, especially on twitter) is making a huge take down vid on kraut, and iirc bad empanada has a few vids dunking on kraut as well. afaik what is currently happening is kraut is accusing BE of doxing people, and then BE is saying that these people are just insane stalkers of his (and that apparently they have doxxed him in the past so he is doxxing them in return lmao). the only serious accusation ive heard against BE is that he doxxed bay area, but the evidence for that incident is pretty poor and a lot of which rests upon much hated grad/hexbear user makan/pluto so i dont put much weight on that accusation lol
wait lol is one of our.notrious CPUSA debatebro shills leaking into streamer drama. please tell me I read that right
i dont actually know if bay area has been brought up, this was just my take on the situation, was basically saying i dont really care if BE doxxed some right wing freaks lol. if the bay area doxxing was brought up or is brought up in the future i can almost guarantee makan is involved, he's the only person ive ever seen accuse BE of being the one to dox bay area lol (for context, literally anyone could have doxxed bay area, the man had a reddit account with the exact same name that iirc mentioned both his job location and maybe even a hint towards his real name despite all the effort he went on with the costume and voice changer lmao)
p.s.
(also p.s. first time ive interacted with someone else who has that's a reference to combat liberalism lol
many such cases 
he thinks BadEmpanada owns 200 different twitter accounts.
This dude is a dumbass. BadEmpanada obviously has more than 500 Twitter accounts.
Today’s news from occupied Palestine and Syria.
Social media users react to ceasefire with mix of relief, joy: https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/01/15/740983/Gaza-won-Netizens-react-Hamas-Israel-ceasefire-genocide
The fascist and genocidal Tel Aviv massacred another 62 Palestinian civilians today, as the ceasefire negotiations continued: https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/01/15/740980/Israel-Kills-62-Palestinians-despite-ceasefire-deal
Zionist aircraft have now intentionally attacked the “HTS” in Syria for the first time, killing two members in Quneitra province. I wonder how these new rulers in Damascus will respond to this blatant aggression. One frustrating aspect of the previous Syrian government is that they did not shoot back after these kinds of thuggish Zionist attacks: https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/01/15/740976/Syria-Israel-HTS-airstrike-Quneitra-Assad
A major provocation in Syria is necessary for the next step of the Zionists plans. The Gaza ceasefire is not the end of this conflict.
They will focus on colonizing the fertile south of Syria. Gaza can wait - for now.

I'm skeptical of the durability of this cease-fire, and this will certainly be temporary for as long as the Entity exists it will never be able to cease the settler-colonial genocide, however I truly hope this is a moment of happiness and reprieve for the indomitable people of Palestine. Glory to the resistance.
There's already efforts by piSSrael to sabotage this so-called ceasefire too. Satan also stated he does not wish to uphold Phase 2 and is stalling this current one too. A rocket already landed in an empty lot in the southern area of piSSraeli occupied zone. The images of the casing with the American/British/German serial identification will not be made available.
A brief reminder that the ICJ also gave piSSrael until the 28th of July to provide "counterarguments" against South Africa's case. In reality, it's to allow the killing of another 50,000 at bare minimum and the "hope" that South Africa abandons the case. However, South Africa has put the ICJ's balls into a bench vise and has woved to fight until the bitter end.
Over 64,000 are confirmed to have been killed from direct attacks alone, with the homicide rate at 2,600/100,000. This is in an area only marginally larger than Johannesburg's Inner City with 1/3rd the population.
Also some Boer KKKracker in Cape Town called me a settler-colonialist for being from and living in Berea/Hillbrow for over 20 years because the neighbourhood was no longer segregated since 31 years ago.
Death to ameriKKKa

Serious question, have all of these people been doxed? Do we know who they are and where they live?
whats happening here?
Moment DNC attendees cover their ears as protesters read out killed Gaza children's names
watching this will make your hate pure
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Protestors at the Democratic convention read names of murdered Palestinian children to Democrats as they entered.
These are the democrats that laughed at them and blocked their ears
