Part of me wonders if this isn't a deliberate effort to encourage Japanese military "independence" - so they can fight proxy turf battles with China for the US.

How did you find this piece about Nigeria?

More and more the USA looks like the USSR did by the late 80's.

tdlr, these things are signal that the stock market is starting to reach the top before some new crisis. Might not happen anytime soon, but it's worth keeping an eye on archive.is/lU95J

I doubt that is, truth of the matter is that the US military machine is very poorly maintained. Something like 63% of our carrier based aircraft aren't fit to fly anymore due to maintenance issues
In the Marines the maintenance issues are even worse than in the other branches as well.
Mason Collins
I'd be interested to know how much specialist labor is doing more lucrative stuff like maintaining American equipment for foreign powers. Sure you'd have to live in Saudi but it probably pays better than the military.
Isaiah Sanchez
Older but interesting read on this years GDP growth and what constituted it
Here's an article that is criticizing the #metoo movement from a marxist perspective. Frankly it reads as if an average somewhat intellectual Holla Forums poster would give his take on the metoo movement. A bit reductive in my opinion but none the less interesting article
Nicholas Russell
It's also that the US military makes a ton of poor financial choices along with standard corruption. I have some family in the contracting side and the stories you hear are ridiculous

=Authorities clampdown on charity for evicted migrant workers in Beijing=
"In 2008, Beijing welcomed you. In 2016, Beijing hated you. In 2017, Beijing expelled you. In 2018, Beijing won't even bother to see you," she says in quiet fury. Those lines, a parody of a Beijing Olympics slogan, have become the bitter chorus for tens of thousands of people like Ms. You, workers who came to the city from other parts of China but are being evicted from their homes in the cold of winter, after the local government declared their homes unsafe. t.co/4S8tusFB2i

Tina Smith is part of the Democrat-Farmer-Labor party and specifically mentioned being a fierce advocate of economic fairness when she was giving a speech accepting. I think we should at least give her a shot until 2018. I like Keith Ellison a lot, but she seems like she could be alright. Here's to hoping.
are you implying burning black people alive isn't worthy of a human rights award? How can you support the dictactorship that keeps winning free elections?
James Rogers
The only reason Ellison dropped out is to prevent a scuffle between Democrats in 2018. I don't like it, but it's the smart move.

China, Russia, and India Reject East Jerusalem as the Capital of Palestine
Yeah, being a pedophile and wanting to re-enslave blacks and women is having the deck "stacked against you."

Damn that is a savage article. Someone outta try to get Jimmy Dore to read it.
Brody Murphy
The Imminent Frame is apart of my RSS feed so I see all their articles and just found this one particularly interesting.
Jason Ward
Gillespie wasn't a Trump candidate, he was GOP establishment and tried to distance himself from Trump during the campaign. The Trump candidate was some idiot named Corey Stewart who pretended to be a southerner and made confederate monuments his big issue.
Yeah, but when Gillespie was falling in the polls, he went balls deep for Trump. Trump endorsed him and he lost. Badly.
The take away from this is that Trump's power is bunk.
Connor Torres
how do I say this without coming off like Holla Forums….
Lucas Johnson
im pretty ignorant so go guns blazing
Nathaniel Mitchell
it was nothing against you, just me being an amerifat, I forget Labour are still dem-socs sometimes. I would've told them to fuck off not try to appease them. This past week has just had me pissy and agitated at the slightest whiff of zionism.

Someone screen cap this. Moore will cuck the Dems in a recount, and Dems will get rock hard watching Rebublicans give democracy that throbbing GOP dick.
Jacob Anderson
There won't be a recount. Moore wants to be martyr not a loser.
He's already climbed on his cross this morning, bemoaning the "immorality sweeping America".
Kayden Young
Moore also announced he’s not called children conceding. Get cucked Dems.
Honestly I can't believe that people who are "constitutionalists" voted for this guy when he has had said openly he wants to guy half the amendments and lost his job as a judge for violating the constitution.
Caleb Jackson
What's going on with the background of that video? Is he using a giant American flag for wallpaper? Or does he live in a circus tent?
Adrian Adams
So when can we expect the Ben Garrison cartoon of Mitch McConnell and the rest of the GOP crucifying Roy Moore while Barabbas Jones murders babies?
Jonathan Harris
It's the American flag. Americans are obsessed with it, they would fuck it if they could.
Zachary Morales
My god, if foreign powers wanted to, they could start an armed guerilla insurgency in the borders of the US that they couldn't crush.
Grayson Powell
You know the saying, around Jews, you cruise.
Cameron Bailey
Jones won because like half of Alabama voters who voted Trump didn't even vote in this election. It had lower turnout than the 2012 judicial election that Moore won and even less so than the Presidential election. Jones isn't even like Sanders he's a Clintonite.
Ethan Bennett
Trump is poison to one of the biggest blocks of conservative voters: suburbanites. It's what cost the them Virginia and Alabama.
It's a problem that spells doom for the GOP in 2018.
Luke Cox
Unless you're Palestinian yourself, you need to be careful about appropriating the struggles of others.
Jacob Parker
fucking yikes. God forbid I ever become that crusty. I like to think I do a good job of distinguishing a show of solidarity and sympathy from taking on some faux burden of a group of people I don't belong to.
Mason Roberts
I don't even know what to think
Brayden Ross
For me it resonates deeply what the Palestinians are subject to, I also get super pissy when i smell out Zionist scum
John Fisher
But why? You aren't Palestinian, you're probably not even brown. Why does this issue rustle your jimmies above all else? Israel isn't even unique when it comes to brutality (the US, France, UK, even Russia and China all have their fair share of atrocities, many of which are still going on).
Zachary Cooper
Because im Puerto Rican Holy fuck you forreal? What is oppression now something endured by non-pale folk? Jesus this is some gringo idpol if ive ever seen one fuck me
Mason Bailey
Not sure if /r/islam, r/socialism/ or /r/thedonald
Isaac Martin
also the "idealised" Arab Radicals that he talks about were very real, had major popular support and could could be argued to be the main force behind the Palestinian resistence (the Soviets weren't so keen on arming post-ideological "family men" muslims who would switch sides at the first opportunity), people like Arafat were indeed very connected to the immoral internationist "out of touch" left, and they were still elected by the Palestinian all the way until the Reagan-backed Islamists took over and imposed his close-mindedness back on people.
Ryder Brown
...
Justin Rivera
My apologies. I assumed you were white. But point is, you're still not Palestinian, so why does this issue make you more hot-headed than other issues?
It's /r/worldnews I believe.
Not today. That's their point. You're fetishizing the past without giving thought as to what it means in an era where conditions are entirely different.
Grayson James
You taking the piss mate? I AM white You sister was raped one night, some years later your friend's sister is raped as well, wouldnt you empathize more since you personally have experienced such thing? Besides what the hell you aren't allowed to empathize with starving people just because they arent part of "your" group? What the fuck is this shit go back to your racist tumblr
Gabriel Flores
Because you're getting angry at a situation which literally doesn't effect you. Yeah, you have a shared sense of "we lost our land" but do you really think what happens in Jerusalem is affecting whether or not San Juan gets its utilities back? FFS.
Bentley Watson
Ah agreed mate, since it materially does not affect me guess i should just stay ambivalent about it, its not like internationalism is a thing right? No? "Stay in your lane?"
John Ramirez
Not him, but I'm honestly not sure if you're talking from an Egoist standpoint or some weird racist idpol one. If you're not angry at injustice on some level then you either don't care or are glad. Either you're saying that you shouldn't care about shit that doesn't affect you, or that you're only allowed to care if you share the same ethnicity/skin color as the victim. The first is questionable, the second is just retarded idpol.
Leo Perez
Yes, the fact that my goverment sells the weapons that keep the Zionists in power doesn't affect me and isn't my problem. That's why there isn't a gigantic Zionist lobby in every country in the world.
Arab Socialism might not be as powerful as it once was but it still exists, and comrades are comrades in victory and in defeat. If you want to make your own Anti-Communist, Conservative or Islamist organisations and rallies to advocate for Palestinian rights then feel free to, we'll keep doing ours.
