Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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.
Eggs, omelettes, etc etc
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.

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.
Emotive language in this article really diminishes any credibility it’s supposed to have. Feels like I’m reading a maga PR
I didn't notice any particular emotive language used by the author, also why would that be a bad thing in the first place? The heart of journalism is persuasive prose
All the "emotion" is coming from the author quoting panicking USAID apparatchiks and right wing US allies

weird seeing grayzone here of all places
Greyzone is principally anti-American, which in our context is much more anti-imperialist than most other news outlets. It's a problematic publication but they're able to contribute to the wider net of anti-imperialist news reporting in the English language.
