god it would be so funny if it all just collapsed
I kinda feel it would be funnier if we weren’t under it when it collapsed.
It's gotta come down for humanity to survive. Might as well laugh it off.
No actually it's still pretty funny.

The security state will get trump to back down on it, this seems to be part of a massive show of force within the government in order to make its apparatus get with the program.
i dont think they can get him on a leash in time to not do damage.

I think the Georgia part is the most significant here. The collapse of the Georgian regime change effort, even if from a temporary pause in funding (layoffs and project cancellations are hard to reverse) pretty much eliminates all chance of Georgia being turned into Ukraine 2.0 in the near future.
Setting up more regime change efforts, if that's even something the trump admin will aim for (they are not so rabidly anti-russia) will take more time, and they would require another causus belli to show up in the meantime to take advantage of. Trump might have made Georgia secure for at least the next 4 years.

90 days is a long time for the global grifter network, hopefully global south political systems can enjoy a breather from constant state department undermining
Good. All of these "regime-change organizations" have caused devastating and incredible harm all around the planet. Nowhere in the world has it caused any good. In south america, they tried installing capitalism to exploit laborers and get cheaper fucking bananas, in Vietnam it was about instigating fear in communist russia/china, in the near east ... don't get me started on the near east.

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.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
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.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
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. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
