Sanchez is down 0.24% from Porky at 87.6% of votes tallied. 11.8% vs 12.04% of the vote. I think he’ll get 2nd

Why don’t the right and left form electoral coalitions in the primaries so this stops happening. I don’t like this at all

can you imagine how annoying it would be to own and repair your own mcflurry machine? It’s best to outsource these things

They have ~144 SAM systems (CW gusano news)

end the blockade loser

fucking hell

I hope trump appoints his own burger pope a la western schism

No. It is your duty as a communist to join the PSL and organize however you can for a better future. This is the same trap as that guy who burned down the warehouse. If we don’t work toward the future we want it can never happen. Even if we fail, we must TRY to build socialism in the US. An accelerationist approach will only lead to barbarism and make living in America worse than hell for marginalized people.

This is the dumbest ceasefire

Assuming the US strategy is rational, I’m guessing they’re trying to put pressure on countries to avoid making deals with Iran to pass through the strait of hormuz. Any country that defects to Iran will have their tankers seized by the US Navy. It doesn’t hurt Iran as much as it makes their blockade less dangerous to the empire. It also puts pressure on China, which will not get oil from Iran anymore

Imo the problem is, if the IRGC continues to fight, they have the weaponry to destroy the economies of the entire GCC. And a bunch of countries are guaranteed fucked with energy crises and fertilizer shortages. The US is gambling with nearly all of their allies

What’s going on with Pakistan? Being involved in US-Iran peace talks as a neutral third party, doing their own conflict with Afghanistan, and fighting India last year makes them appear independent of US imperial policy. Was the coup against Imran Khan not done with US backing? What does the military of Pakistan hope to achieve?

What are some good companies to buy things that last from? Always looking for good recs

All I’m saying is that a young man, a 90-year-old man, 80-year-old man, 75-year-old man, doesn’t need 37 million dollars.

I don’t think that a spry young man needs — that’s 86 years old — needs to have 30 million dollars. I think they can have three million dollars or four million dollars because what we were doing with America was just unbelievable.

The US version of the ceasefire agreement says no enrichment. If he is being bad with words and means no enrichment, it’s a non-starter

I don’t know how practical that is

Nobody does yet. Chang’e 7, China’s next robotic mission to the moon launching this year, will find out. It will land in Shackleton Crater (where both China and the US are aiming to establish a base) to look for viable water resources.

They’re choosing Shackleton because the rim is exposed to constant sunlight (unlimited solar), and the crater is in constant darkness (water, maybe ice?). Both of these mean extreme temperature changes don’t have to be considered in the base infrastructure

Claudia Sheinbaum is enacting a universal healthcare system with full implementation by the end of 2027. General care starting January 1

In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest

if this is what they think the ceasefire is going to last hours

To push back, anything can happen in the next hour. You may be right, but Iran has not responded yet. I don’t know what the deliberative process looks like in Iran for these things

edit: eh you’re probably right
