This whole internecine shitshow happening in Bolivia is starting to smell more and more of CIA...
It's a little frustrating that you seem to ignore everything i wrote about engaging with the content of a piece and just keep doing this "attack the messenger" thing. There's this strange way of thinking that i see most often in liberals where you can never engage with or come into contact with anything that is associated with people who have reactionary views on certain issues, almost like they think that by doing so you somehow become morally tainted by association. As a dialectical materialist i think that this kind of puritanical impulse is not helpful.
To answer your question, no, there is not much out there with this level of quality of analysis on these topics. There just isn't a huge amount of content like this coming from progressive channels, i wish there was.
By the way, this channel isn't even the worst offender as far as reactionary sources of good geopolitical analysis that have been shared here. When we do so we assume a certain level of political maturity from our comrades, such that they can engage with the analysis presented and separate that from whatever other reactionary views that source may have. Are you also going to say we should never post anything from Russian or Middle Eastern sources because they almost certainly hold reactionary views on some issue or other?
If someone is uncomfortable with giving a particular channel views they can use one of the alternative links provided, where the video is embedded on a third party website. I'd recommend doing that anyway for privacy reasons.
The advantage of videos like this is that they use the western media's own reporting and publicly available information to show how, when you actually dissect what they are saying, they frequently slip up and admit the truth even while they try to spin it to fit their narrative. That is helpful when trying to deprogram people who would otherwise not trust any non-western source, or who would refuse to listen to any overtly communist channels.
If you think that sharing videos like this should come with a content warning to caution against listening to these sources on other topics, then that is totally valid and we can absolutely do that.
As for who he used to write for, of course that's fair to point out, but to be consistent you should also take issue with any author who used to write for Washington Post, New York Times, BBC, CNN or any other mainstream media. Genocide apologist, warmongering, imperialist bourgeois establishment mouthpieces are no less reactionary than far right conspiracy theory websites. In fact the latter sometimes stumble onto real conspiracies and have occasional flashes of insight into how the covert and overt machinery of the bourgeois state works in ways that liberals never do. Obviously that's wrapped in utterly deranged, delusional reactionary drivel, but still.
Because it's part of Tibet? Idk, why does India need to claim it? Why does India need to own Assam for that matter? Why can't Bangladesh have it? Or be its own state like Nepal or Bhutan? Historical claims are just like that, they're not objective and they often overlap. Who's to say who's right and who's wrong?
it feels like Niger is going it alone
More states in West Africa going anti-imperialist would be great of course, but they are not alone: Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger have decided to unite into a confederation.

The math makes more sense when you remember that they don't view Palestinians as people. In addition, they consider the goal of taking away Hamas' political leverage in negotiations as more important than the lives of their own soldiers and civilians.
You may feel "shame and remorse" over a fraud of a couple thousand dollars, but at 12 billion it is clear you have no concept of shame.
Always nice to see more countries adopting China's 合作共赢 model.
Tens if not hundreds of millions of people across the world, whom the Democrats have bombed, starved, exploited and murdered exactly the same as the Republicans have, beg to differ.
This "Democrats vs Republicans" idea is a false dichotomy. Democrats and Republicans are not two different opposing parties, they are two wings of the same uniparty. Voting for one is the same as voting for the other. They each continue each others' fascist, imperialist, genocidal policies. Republicans could not do what they do without Democrats and vice versa. By continuing to buy into the "lesser evil" narrative you are enabling them to keep pulling this trick on you over and over again.
If there is a "lesser evil" it is that which most weakens and destabilizes the US, that which creates the maximum amount of internal conflict, of political-economic and social dysfunction, thus minimizing the harm they are able to inflict on the rest of the world.
Update: Yerevan has reportedly announced it will not go to war over Nagorno-Karabakh. Instead they seem to be more worried about internal dissent. Seems they would rather use their forces to crush any possible internal uprising in Armenia triggered by popular outrage over this betrayal.
The betrayal was entirely telegraphed and pretty much exactly what is happening now was predicted by most serious observers of the conflict in this region.
Always exercise critical skepticism when reading "news" like this. There is no telling how much if any of it is actually true or whether it's some kind of psyop bullshit. And i would certainly not take someone like Musk at their word as to their alleged motivation for doing what is claimed that they did.
There is nothing good about the warmongering imperialist corporate uniparty.
Yup. Saw a few of them already saying they look forward to buying property in ethnically cleansed Gaza/West Bank.
Also this:
They really cannot keep their masks on can they?
To them anti-fascism is just a vibe, and social justice causes just an aesthetic, a way to signal team loyalty. When push comes to shove and they get scratched, all of their feigned sympathy with the oppressed goes out the window and they become foaming at the mouth Nazis indistinguishable from MAGA.
