americans are literally deeply evil, so many mfs who claimed to give a shit about the genocide in Palestine but since Harris got the nomination it's become abundantly clear they were just irritated over the lack of a "competent" leader for the empire. i feel really awful for comrades over there who are having to deal with living in the midst of that, it must be soul-crushing. the only difference between zionist supremacism and amerikkkan supremacism is that the zionists are closer to the collapse of their system and thus more obviously, outwardly bloodthirsty, less wholly complacent.

Russian commentators: the present state of affairs is unacceptable! nuclear-tipped grand offensive now! mobilise all men to the front and women into the factories! assassinate every leading NATO head of state with hypersonic weaponry!
Putin: we are aware of a concerning situation in the Kursk oblast. we must remember Stalin's great and courageous leadership in these times and take heed. i have made funding available to the Bereznetzhov thermal optics factory to expand production by up to 30% by 2028 in light of this. we will not be intimidated by terrorists and the time of empty threats is over.
it's not really his fault that the decaying neoliberal state structure cant really achieve any goals that don't directly align with the goals of big capital. sure, it's bad if totally undisputed Russian territory is being held by a relatively small Ukrainian force, but it would also be bad for business to do too much about it, or otherwise try and prevent this sort of national embarrassment from happening.
if Russia's govt was more like China's, where the state is independently strong enough to tell capitalist interests to fuck off where necessary in favour of national interests, then this would be impossible and the war would be over already as well
perhaps there are under-the-table communications going on which nobody but the higher levels of the governments involved are aware of. maybe efforts to actually reach some kind of mediation. the kind of war that we are on the precipice of would really be rough going for both the zionists and the Iranian government; an under-estimated factor in all of this, imho, is the severe internal strife within Iran and the fact that the Islamic Republic could easily be toppled in the midst of all-out war (even a righteous one)
Lebanon too is not in a great place at all either and no faction within that country actually wants the war to come with full force to their doorstep. Syria's govt is still widely unpopular and faces regular unrest not to mention the civil war hasn't ended. Egypt and Jordan don't want to deal with that shit either because of their own restive populations. etc. Yemen is probably the only actual state actor that has so little to lose that a war is feasible (hence they've been openly at war with israel for months already)
the ones who were radical enough to present an actual threat to the present order got their heads smashed by scumbag pigs and fascist mobs within a month; the ones whose demands could be accommodated while maintaining the overall structure got allowed to peacefully disband their camps and enter "negotiations" with bloodsoaked faculties. very similar to how the 2020 uprisings went, really. the positive to draw from this is that the radical wing was way better organised, theoretically much more advanced, and able to move more quickly and adapt more effectively than in 2020 - which featured nothing like the level of organisation or vision we saw last spring.
to compare directly - look at the difference between the hopeless CHAZ/CHOP occupation, which was really the zenith of productive radical action during 2020's uprisings, and the militant occupations of many buildings on campuses across the US - which went on for days, produced an outpouring of revolutionary theory and agitational material, and fended off all sorts of assaults before they had to send in police with damn near shotguns and accompanied by fascist mobs to dismantle them. that's the difference that four years of development of the underlying social base for revolutionary politics has made. no signs point to this development slowing down, in fact the conditions in our societies mean that it's likely to carry on accelerating. and the lessons learned from these uprisings will be learned and integrated just as the lessons learned from 2020 were in this last wave.
so keep your chin up and prepare for the next rupture, comrade, it's coming.
