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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Three fronts on three continents.

Is it world war yet?

Venezuela doesn’t even have to pull the trigger, they just need to threaten it

You could have said this about the recent potential of ECOWAS action against Niger but that did not materialize. 🤷‍♂️

Eh, that's more of a French Imperialism thing.

Nobody is really looking good in this situation. Exxon on one side is trying to find a new frontier to extract resources from, but I do not approve of an annexation of a disputed territory by Venezuela

Did Maduro get some reassurance from Russia or something? I know it's election for Maduro, but this seems almost suicidal to provoke the US Imperialists so openly. Russia of course benefits because it means more distraction away from Ukraine.

Didn’t Russia add a Korea style trigger force a year or two ago? Or was it just giving them weapons? I can’t recall tbh.
