Slow news week(s) always gotta end somehow. Though apparently Prigozhin might not have actually been on that plane, per: https://nitter.net/ragipsoylu/status/1694400742633693493#m

???? There's plenty of things to complain about with Hexbear from a liberal perspective, but I've never seen anybody here claim that Trump actually won the election; we don't really give a shit about elections in the first place. Where have you seen anything that gave you the impression that we're hardcore Trump MAGA posters cosplaying as communists?

To be fair to @corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net if you want a dilapidated house in a tiny coastal town in Ireland you can get it for a reasonable sum.

Yeah this is precisely how the USSR lost the Cold War. When it's 2 v 1 it's just not fair. Bodes ill for the United States' chances in part 2.

Sure go on then, what are your beliefs around business owners who operate plants where teenagers lose their hands?

I've no idea either to be honest, from what I can tell Nigeria's politics is largely disfunctional and fragmented. I know the Labour Party, who ran Obi for president and garnered widespread support amongst the urban youth, is a social democracy party but I'm not sure what they've said on the coup in Niger.

The article goes into that; any sort of war of attrition that lasts longer than like a week is guarneteed to be a failure, as ECOWAS cannot support a war that long. Hell, a month or two of conflict with Niger is more likely to push Nigeria into civil war than anything else.

To be fair to AMLO, joining BRICS is about the surest way to guarentee US military intervention. Mexico's got to thread a rather thin line.
