Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome.

just my own speculation analysis, but i think the imperial project cannot separate itself from the entity. while individual characters might try to capitalize on the decoupling of popular support and institutional power--to position themselves for what might come after--i think there will be no steps back from full, constant support for the entity until something much larger buckles: rumors of troop non compliance, entire commands slow rolling compliance with orders for war while the US dollar implodes, large cities engage in rolling work stoppages, federal and state guard commands contested, and US import + forex markets seize. basically, stories bubbling up threatening existential failure of the core.
i think whatever committees of hands are on the throttle regard the failure of the entity as an inflection point for the successful maintenance of all US occupation and proxy conflicts, as well as the primary geography of overlap between the US's and the EU's 21st century neocolonial aspirations.
not to mention, i think there is something to the omnidirectional interpretation of the Samson Option threats, which would probably plunge the west into even more chaos than the sudden implosion of the currently-redlining US/EU capital and credit markets now keeping the entity's government and it's parallel VC feedback loops into the US afloat with emergency loans.
again this is purely speculation, but in my lifetime i haven't seen the US act as rapidly, consistently and decisively across all institutions about any of the proxy conflicts, both at home and abroad, as it has about the entity. the anti-boycott laws, the violent suppression of campus protests and summary blacklisting, the complete lack of any basic, even aesthetic-only oppositional narrative anywhere within allowed discourse or among any institutions. this one isn't even allowed to be a symbolic campaign issue for the psuedo opposition party the way iraq or the GWOT were.
it all says to me that it's the endgame. the chips are all pushed in and we are now locked into finding out if the power structure has got the hand to back up the bet.... because it sure as shit looks like the global community heard the west's voice crack and is slowly calling a bluff.
I've read several times now from several thinkers the notion that the Samson option is not just firing nukes at Europe and Arab neighbors plus Iran but actually because of the zionist dominance and intertwining with high tech that they have hidden code, bombs to activate on command which will cause the collapse of modern infrastructure. They'll take down power systems, medical devices will stop functioning or malfunction, mapping will fail, just all kinds of chaos from them using their positions intertwined with Microsoft, Google, and a ton of other tech companies with zionist intelligence officers that they will bring down the modern world if the west allows them to fall.
This would be powerful incentive for the western leaders to not move away from the zionists. To do so would require acknowledging this penetration and weakness on a scale far larger than anything they've even accused China of and a decade of work methodically searching for and removing it after kicking all the zionist intelligence collaborators (really any zionist occupation company) out of these positions and praying doing so and obviously searching for and trying to disarm this doesn't make them set it off.
I refuse to believe other states would let that happen at any meaningful scale. That sounds really goofy especially in comparison to just using the nukes.
What choice would they have? It's a mutual suicide pact like the elites abusing children in front of each other for mutual silence and blackmail.
The US can remotely disable their jet fighters and other military assets they force Europe to buy. "Who would do that, who would accept that" someone like you would cry. And the answer is someone without a choice, who didn't know better or who thought that the person doing it was their friend and would only use it on their enemies only to realize too late that they expect you to go down with them if you ever flinch in your support.
Europe is convinced that they support them for guilt over centuries of anti-semitism and that doing so absolves them and makes them morally superior and able to lecture others and I could see Germans saying "yes, please, engineer a gun to point at our head to murder us if we ever dare flinch in our support of you, it's our penance for the holocaust".
So who would do that? White supremacists. Full believers in NATO/US/EU hegemony. Full believers in zionism who are actually all over the place and in many powerful positions and would have gladly helped such a program along so that their successors could not back out, could not have a choice to stop the support of the program, would be forced to carry on the work they believe is right and necessary, locked into that course by their forebears.
This isn't something that I think most eyes states are aware of to be honest. And if it is what can they do? Europe is very weakly trying to get some limited tech autonomy and being punched in the face by the US for that and not having much success because it's a liberal capitalist affair and funding a few open source projects at low levels cannot compete with the years of code and lock-in major American tech suppliers have on the tech stack. Screaming to the world this is happening won't stop it happening anymore than screaming the zionists have nukes which they don't officially acknowledge does anything about those. They're under the gun, they can't get out easily if at all because their blackmailer may threaten to shoot if they try and remove themselves from their power entirely.
I mean you're not informed if you say what you just said. Who would allow the NSA to spy on their leadership as the Germans did unwittingly? When you're convinced you're the good guys, your zionist friends are the good guys and they say they'll do these things for good guy reasons you say yes. Because you've already said yes to compromising networks and your own encryption and information services with the NSA and GCHQ through the 14 eyes agreements and continue to cooperate in that even after finding out the Americans were abusing it to spy on you their supposed friend.
Well said
