They have a Marine One Osprey.

I forgot to report on this and it's a few months later than it happened. Every year the U.S. does military exercises in Africa (mostly Morocco), known as the African lion this year's event happened in May in Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal and Ghana. Although the U.S. denies its purpose, the exercise is clearly about invading Algeria, in the video African Lion 2021- Command Post Exercise they train against s400 and later on in the video you can see this map with the fake countries they're invading being "Rowand" and "Nehone". Similar to other U.S. invasion exercises like the ones they hold for Iran and the DPRK.

Still getting a lot of Ukrainian propaganda on tiktok. And I block all of them immediately so it's an effort for sure to get it in front of people

CN and CPKC have locked out their workers after refusing to negotiate with the union despite months of good faith negotiations. This also affects passenger rail as virtually all VIA rail trains are run on track owned by CN or CPKC

I'm hoping the union can still come out on top, but I expect Trudeau, the Liberals, and everyone else in Ottawa to continue union-busting and enact back-to-work legislation in favour of the rail companies.

Of course the best way forward would be to nationalize the two largest rail companies in Canada in order to prevent capitalist greed from disrupting an entire country's rail transport system but I don't think a single politician has the courage to even raise the idea, let alone really push for it

There is a scheduled gap in tonight's DNC schedule that the special guest is only known by a handful of people.

The Vice President of the United States, and presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, Kamala Harris, responded to a letter sent by Maria Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader, and Edmundo Gonzalez, former presidential candidate.

In the letter, Kamala reaffirms US support for Venezuelan self-determination and electoral transparency, asking the electoral council to be transparent and respect the will of Venezuelans.

She concluded by saying that the Venezuelan armed forces and security forces must respect human rights. “The United States will always be with the Venezuelan people in their struggle for democracy and freedom.”

Western Chud Goes to Russia, Signs up For Military Service, Quits After Learning That War Is Dangerous

A 33 year old Danish national has had his military contract annuled by a Moscow appellate court, so writes Danish government broadcaster DR. The man has lived in Russia since July 2023. According to him he moved there because he was "more aligned with Russia's values". He has also praised Putin in writing on several occasions.

The man signed up for Russian military service as he believed it would allow him to stay in Russia after his visa expired. According to his lawyer, the man did not fully understand the improperly translated contract and believed that he would not go to war. The man, who is currently on deployment in Lugansk sued the Russian military upon being sent to war. The court of first instance ruled in favour of the military but now the appellate court has ruled in favour of the man and anulled the contract.

The man plans to stay in Russia after being released from his contract.

Electronic Intifada had an excellent discussion with Dr. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran, regarding the potential Iranian response to 'israel's' aggression. The interview starts at the 20:55 mark of that video.

I wouldn't call it "hopium" since I think it's a very realistic take, but Marandi is very clear he believes Iran will respond and respond forcefully, and outlines why.

U.S. Investigating Americans Who Worked With Russian State Television

The Department of Justice has begun a broad criminal investigation into Americans who have worked with Russia’s state television networks, signaling an aggressive effort to combat the Kremlin’s influence operations leading up to the presidential election in November, according to American officials briefed on the inquiry.

This month, F.B.I. agents searched the homes of two prominent figures with connections to Russian state media: Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector and critic of American foreign policy, and Dimitri K. Simes, an adviser to former President Donald J. Trump’s first presidential campaign in 2016. Prosecutors have not announced charges against either of the men.

More searches are expected soon, some of the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss investigations. Criminal charges are also possible, they said.

I was hoping for a spicier night after the Hezbollah salvo yesterday but it's incredibly quiet. More quiet than usual.

DEATH TO AMERICA

DEATH TO ISRAEL

Does anyone know what the status of the US presence in the Red Sea is right now? It seems like over the past couple days, Yemen has been conducting several operations with manned vessels rather than drones and missiles. I don't think they've done anything like that since they captured the Galaxy Leader.

Relations between North Korea and Brazil are normalizing. Kim Jong-Un appoints ambassador to Brazil, and Lula da Silva does the same.

The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, has appointed the country's new ambassador to Brazil and received the agreement of the Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva government. With this, the world's most closed communist country will once again raise the political level of its representation in Brasilia.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday evening that it had “granted agrément (a diplomatic endorsement) to Mr. Song Se Il as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in Brazil”.

According to Itamaraty data, North Korea currently has only four diplomats in the country, two of whom are counselors and two secretaries - the last arrived in Brazil in 2016. There was no designated ambassador, according to the ministry's records.

Ambassador Luís Felipe Silvério Fortuna has headed Brazil's mission in Pyongyang since 2018. Two years later, however, he was forced to move to Seoul, South Korea, after facing difficulties returning to North Korea.

The North-Korean Goverment has imposed a series of restrictions and cut air routes due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Fortuna remains in charge of the embassy on North Korean soil, although he is still based in Seoul.

Now, there is hope that the appointment of Kim Jong-un's ambassador could unblock his return to the country, in reciprocity. Estadão learned that in June, the North Korean embassy in Brasilia signaled to Itamaraty that the government would grant Ambassador Fortuna a new diplomatic visa, which would allow him to enter the country after four years.
