I hate how funny he is
It will be the greatest day of my life if we see these scenes in Cairo and Amman one day
Maarat Al Numan will probably fall soon, which opens a straight line to Hama and Homs through Khan Sheikhoun. With the unimaginable scale of military disorganisation, Russia distracted in Ukraine, Iran being fucking useless and Hezbollah half-dead from the war in Lebanon, then yeah, we're facing a small scenario of total government collapse.
Xenophobia is sadly horrible in Lebanon, it has even reached my family despite my dad marrying my Syrian mom. The shit that especially far-right maronites say about Syrians and Palestinians is just disgusting. Most of it is just imported from American right-wing culture war bullshit, you have Lebanese boomers talking about building a wall on the Syrian border to stop Syrians from coming.
Just a few random thoughts about Russian strategy and current short term goals in Ukraine. I've been religiously following this war since the first few days and I guess like many of you nerds here, one begins to sort of develop an understanding of military affairs after consuming so much content in a short period. My analysis of the current South Donetsk offensive is that it is the most coherent and well-executed campaign since the start of the war. Previous long-term Russian and Ukrainian offensives were like separate islands of small gains, never joining together into one single front that drastically collapses an entire part of the front. Ukraine for example during their 2023 summer offensive attacked in three different directions, south of Orikhiv, west of Bakhmut, and south of Velika Novosilka. All those fronts never had a realistic chance of actually linking up, as they were too far from each other and there was never a real coherent "what happens next" plan. Same with the Russian offensive in the start of the war. They attacked near Kiev, near Kharkov, from the South and north of the old LPR territory, but the first two fronts could never realistically collapse an entire sector and link up to be one continuous front with supply lines entirely located in the captured zones. Even Bakhmut was the same, Russia made a dent in the frontline, but the lack of offensives in Siversk and Toretsk meant that Russia couldn't collapse an entire sector and straighten out the line again, so they only took the city and some territory around it.
Their current southern offensive is different though, with three big arrows that are actually threatening the entire South Donetsk sector for Ukraine. An advance of a few km from each direction now is lethal for the AFU. They would lose one of the most fortified sectors of the front, and escape into open fields with no fortifications all the way to Pavlograd. According to a map of fortifications that I saw last week, the whole section from Kurakhovo to the centre of Dnipro Oblast has barely any defensible ground, and the opening of that sector for Russian troops means that they will be able to outflank Ukraine's north-south trench systems in Zaporozhye, and the east-west systems in fortified central Donetsk. 2025 will be extremely decisive for this war if Trump doesn't pull off a 4D chess peace agreement.
I have a really bad feeling about Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah and that Beirut strike...
NASRALLAH LIVE IN A FEW MINS
The entire world if the US didn't exist
This is mostly ironic, I don't know about nazi, but he was a piece of shit. Of course I don't support him, but this list was started exactly one year ago when the Rostov Rebellion happened so I had to pay homage to him.

I complained yesterday that nothing is happening, will never complain again wallah
I'm too employed and way more offline than I was in 2022, so I haven't been able to form an opinion on Thailand vs Cambodia. After giving you fuckers a long ass breakdown on Druze shenanigans, you all owe me a simple answer on this following question? Are we #TeamSiam or #TeamKhmer or #TeamTheyAllSuck?
