Israel builds up forces near Golan citing rebels taking control https://www.timesofisrael.com/syria-rebels-take-areas-near-israel-border-idf-warns-them-not-to-turn-in-our-direction/

Edit: They've entered Damascus, taken the Republican Palace but Assad is not there.

Wonder what will happen to Russian bases near the sea.

 

Israel is also increasing its presence near Syria. https://syria.liveuamap.com/

  1. After capturing the second largest city of Aleppo, the rebels have captured the 6th largest city of Hama which the Syrian army purposely retreated from https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/813079/withdrawal-temporary-preparing-for-counter-offensive-says-syrian-army

They are approaching the next city of Homs is the 3rd largest and is said to be more sympathetic to the rebels. https://syria.liveuamap.com/

In the first Syrian war, while the situation was worse for Assad territoriality, he retreated into and held the cities. Aleppo and Hama never fell.

  1. The Kurds have continued fighting militias coming in to stabalize the situation in the name of fighting ISIS. Under this pretext they are also taking areas which the Syrian army has withdrawn from.

  1. The rebels that were in negotiation with the government in the south of the country, near the capital of Damascus have begun fighting as well.

The original area the rebels had in the Northwest and their current offensive are shown in different shades.

 

The group of countries invited to join the BRICS as "partner states" includes Turkey, Indonesia, Algeria, Belarus, Cuba, Bolivia, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Vietnam, Nigeria, and Uganda.

The BRICS countries have agreed to include 13 nations in the category of "partner states" in the association. However, the entry of these countries will not be made official during the summit. According to this definition, the Russian presidency will hold consultations with the partner countries to make membership of the BRICS official. The figure was confirmed earlier by Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.

Pyongyang, October 22 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement on Tuesday:

The reckless infringement upon the sovereignty of the DPRK by the ROK military gangsters is a hideous military provocation that can never be pardoned.

Seoul will have to experience at first hand so as to know properly how dangerous act it committed and how terrible and fatal the consequences it brought on itself are.

A military provocation against a nuclear weapons state may be led to horrible situation, unimaginable for politicians and military experts in any big or small country in the world with their normal thinking to experience. So, there will be no such instance except one recently made by lunatics of the ROK and Ukraine.

Such deed can be done only by lunatics in the Seoul and Kiev regimes.

Seoul and Kiev are exact counterparts in going about begging and letting loose reckless remarks against nuclear weapons states at random without follow-up capability.

It seems to be a common feature of bad dogs bred by the U.S.

The DPRK detective agencies' investigation into the drones from the ROK is going on and the truth behind the despicable provocation of the ROK military gangsters will be analyzed further in detail.

No one knows how our retaliation and revenge will be completed.

A lot of political motivational rubbish sent by the ROK scum was discovered and removed in many parts of the DPRK on October 21, too.

The brute courage of the Seoul authorities to jump into fire with brushwood on their backs, far from reflecting on their conducts and being prudent, will bring the danger of destruction of all the scum. And they will be denounced by everyone else. -0-

https://x.com/albersantin/status/1838587646282473868 When Lukashenko asked "What place does Marxism-Leninism occupy in this book on modern political economy?" when reviewing a new book for university students. He got the reply "first and most important"

Back in October 2022, Lukashenko met Dugin and described his trouble in creating a new ideology: https://m.eng.belta.by/president/view/lukashenko-talks-about-formation-of-state-ideas-153969-2022/

“It got me to look at your views and recall the philosophy I studied – the Marx-Lenin philosophy. Well, it's been some time. It turns out we have not created anything better than that. They say that Marxism-Leninism is bad. Be that as it may but we haven't created anything better than that. And it was an entire system of views. We don't have it these days,”

Thanks for the criticism.

However, the greenhouse effect is supposed to work by absorbing outgoing infrared, not sunlight which the experiment measured. The absorption of sunlight is not much compared to the absorption of outgoing infrared. Therefore I still believe the experiment is irrelevant to the greenhouse effect, while the part of my comment you quoted might be wrong.

20,000 in 30 days. They expect the total force (French + allies) to equal 60,000 according to French General.

I've heard many people say they'll vote Putin till he's gone and then vote KPRF. Rally around the flag effect seems huge at the moment. Still there was one good aspect that stood out to me:

Communists delivered 26 million copies of their program across the country (for the first time not skipping a single subject) which the other candidates severely lacked, a win regardless of the electoral result.

https://kprf.ru/activity/elections/225109.html

Machine translation of Kharitonov's belief in its immediate implementation:

“Our program will make its way literally from tomorrow. In all regions, in all territories, it was received favorably, and people hope for its implementation. And we will implement it directly,” Kharitonov noted at a briefing on Sunday evening.

In his opinion, the current head of state, Vladimir Putin, has taken on enormous responsibility.

“If he wins, one can only wish for one thing: to justify the trust of his voters,” he emphasized, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.

Let us remind you that Putin is in the lead with 87.26% in the presidential elections based on the results of processing 60% of the protocols. Second place goes to Kharitonov, who received 4.18% of the votes.

In quotes is a good response from ChatGPT on the matter, she did not discover the greenhouse effect, only the absorption of energy.

Her experiment on it's own would support a cooling effect (she showed that CO2 absorbs solar radiation, not the greenhouse effect (which is based on the absorption of outgoing infrared radiation):

If carbon dioxide (CO2) simply absorbed energy, including sunlight, without re-emitting it, it could lead to cooling at the Earth's surface. This is because the absorbed energy would not be radiated back to the surface, resulting in a net loss of energy from the Earth-atmosphere system.

Greenhouse effect described:

However, in the context of the greenhouse effect, CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) not only absorb incoming solar radiation but also absorb and re-emit infrared (IR) radiation emitted by the Earth's surface. This process traps some of the outgoing IR radiation, preventing it from escaping into space and thereby warming the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere. This trapping of IR radiation is what contributes to the warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.

Yeah the first thing is a problem, but do we support Scottish independence?

No, Ukrainianization was promoted in all of Ukraine and the Kuban region of Russia as well. In 1930, this was repealed by local goverments in Novorossiya, it wasn't banned but not promoted like it was in previous years.

A new thing was him talking about the entire left bank of the Dneiper being historically Russian, this includes Poltava, Chernihiv, Sumy and Kiev in the north. Recently before this he was talking about creating a buffer zone to prevent Ukrainian attacks on Russian cities.

Oh alr nice, I see how it fits in the broader context of your post.

As to the OP mentioning, “I like how Putin clarified that Soviet Ukrainianization and indigenization of other areas of the USSR was not a bad policy in principle” I think this is best read as reactionary nationalist stuff. Basically that people of a culture should stick together, that there’s a duty to blood there, to preserving culture, to a commonality. You hear the same stuff from many reactionary thinkers.

How is it reactionary and nationalist to have a shared Belarussian, Ukrainian and Russian space where each national identity flourishes but is also interconnected? If Putin wants to live in harmony with Belarus or pre-maidan and to some extent post-maidan Ukraine instead of devouring them, where's the issue?

In the interview he also admitted the superiority of China and it's economy to Russia. He said that Russia is not much of a threat to US hegemony but China is. Having a population of 1.4B to Russia's 140m and growing at 5%, having the largest economy.

He said that it was a good idea in principle to promote the indigenous languages and culture of the Soviet Republics (Ukrainianization) around 18:55. Im not saying he's a leftist, just that he's abandoned the vocal anti-communism.

KPRF critiqued his speech of February 2022 saying that it was Lenin who united the territories of the empire which were divided by local nationalists. What he said is similar and clarifies whether he believes Lenin made a mistake in shaping Ukraine vs just how things played out in the long run.

He said this time that the Soviet Union lived as a unified state with harmony between Russians and Ukrainians and the fault lied to the governments of Yeltsin, Gorbachev and himself for tearing off Ukraine from this shared space.

I believe he's a right-wing conservative, what in particular makes you say he's a fascist?

He tried once to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. Obama too. Non-citizens can increasingly vote in local elections. And the more of them that come, the easier to pass this. Yes ik that Biden has deported more than Trump, that's what I meant when I said that they haven't been nice to migrants in the last few years. They are also definitely be exploited for cheap labour.
