Can any individual country be in a position to fight the empire nowadays?

If Iran has taught us anything, it’s that the only purpose negotiations have is to postpone confrontation. Negotiations will never preserve sovereignty, just subjugate a people under the empire’s terms.

Literally January 2nd. Speedrunning state collapse

This are the people also freaking out over a burning American flag

Peoples’ city council LA had a great response about how that behavior encourages copjacketing and self policing, but I’m not on x so I don’t have it rn

The American empire: notoriously conscious of blowback

Y’allah

Iran vibes are very bad rn

We had a warm meeting with the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Venezuela, Lan Hu, to whom we conveyed our sincere gratitude for his condemnation of the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, as well as the aggressions against Venezuela. We appreciate China's firm and consistent position in strongly condemning the serious violation of international law and Venezuelan sovereignty.

Diosdado Cabello confirms the political exclusion of María Corina Machado following Trump's criticism

The Venezuelan Minister of Interior, Diosdado Cabello, dismissed the leadership of opposition figure María Corina Machado, calling it an "artificial construct" sustained by external funding. During his program "Con el Mazo Dando", Cabello recalled that Machado was already considered to lack real political weight during Hugo Chávez's administration, reinforcing this stance with recent statements from Donald Trump, who questioned the leader's ability to lead the country. The minister interpreted the US president's words as a sign of abandonment by his international allies, stating with the phrase "you're not invited to the dance" that Machado has no future in the Venezuelan political scene.
