The Arab version of ‘Israel’ called the UAE has banned 472 vessels, many of whom are Iran-linked or used Iranian routes in the SoH, from using Emirati ports.

First few weeks of my PhD, and I’m realising how lonely of a journey this is going to be as someone who takes imperialism and the question of national liberation seriously But I am taking a class on revolutionary politics, where we discuss a different form of Marxism each week🔥

Ninapojaribu kumuwaza mtu kama Mo Dewji na uwezo wake mkubwa ambao tayari ameuthibitisha bila shaka katika kuendesha kampuni kubwa barani Afrika... Je, kweli tunashindwa kumpa nchi akatupeleka kwenye nchi ya ahadi kama Singapore? Unadhani lile dili la refinery ya tanga la Dangote lingetupita? Unadhani madini yangesepa? Tungekuwa na viwanda vingapi? Nawaza tu kwa sauti.

This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame met with a delegation of members of the @_AfricanUnion Panel of Facilitators for the peace process in eastern DRC: former President Sahle-Work Zewde of Ethiopia, former President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, former President Mokgweetsi Masisi of Botswana, as well as Hon. Yackoley Kokou Johnson, Togolese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. Their discussions focused on the AU-led peace process and next steps towards achieving lasting peace and stability in eastern DRC, including addressing the root causes of the conflict.

On behalf of the Government and People of the United Republic of Tanzania, I wish to convey our deepest condolences to the Government and People of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the tragic death of His Excellency Ebrahim Raisi, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We join you in mourning the loss of your leader, and wish you strength and comfort during this difficult time.

BREAKING: Perpetual Wars vs Perpetual Peace Perpetual wars have no net benefits for anyone who fights, funds, or lives through them. Yet, our politicians and corporate titans seem to love them. War destroys lives, capital, and institutions while transferring resources to a narrow set of elite interests. Most claims made (usually by those who don’t have to fight) of any benefits usually describe positive side effects that accrue to states, contractors, or elites, or historical processes that occurred despite war rather than because endless conflict is desirable. Never forget, war is all about power and control (don’t kid yourselves). Some geniuses claim that continuous low-level or proxy conflicts can stabilize ruling coalitions. An external enemy (the U.S., Russia, China, Iran, North Korea) focuses public attention, then justifies emergency powers, and further reduces elite challenges (all while the ruling elites of those nations become wealthier).  Yes, there is some data that prolonged interstate wars lower risk of a coup in the dominant powers. Orwell’s seminal book, 1984, framed this explicitly: The three superstates (the U.S., Russia & China) keep a managed war going to consume surplus production, keep living standards low, and prevent the population from becoming “too comfortable and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.” The slogan “War is Peace” captures the logic that a permanent external threat substitutes for genuine internal legitimacy (in the current context, think the proxy wars in Ukraine and across the entire Middle East). The same dynamic appears in military-industrial complexes. Defense firms, their suppliers, and politicians who receive campaign support gain from steady procurement, cost-plus contracts, and revolving-door employment (yes, been there done that, so I have that set of experiences, but like my father used to say, the older I get the smarter my father becomes).  That all said, localized “managed conflict” tests weapons and keeps budgets high without risking the core economies of the sponsoring powers (Or so they tell us). But in recent times, our government always fails to mention our out of control debt, absolute corruption without accountability, and blatant lying about how the war is being prosecuted.  So what? If there are any benefits at all, these fall to the few and not the many. These are items like, elite cohesion, contractor profits, accelerated gadgets (AI, robotics, space applications), and potential to create larger states (a globalist’s dream scenario). These are all real for specific actors in specific historic windows. However, they are purchased with thousands of corpses, ruined cities, displaced populations, veterans’ trauma, and decades of lower living standards for everyone else. Data and history both show that societies that can keep conflict limited and finite do better than those locked into open-ended campaigns.  Perpetual war is a tool of power maintenance, not a general engine of human flourishing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ If we don't end these cycles of perpetual wars, we will end up in a perpetual cycle of decline, the speed of which seems to be accelerating instead of slowing down.  Keep in mind, a nation that survives the worst of circumstances is usually the nation that spends years preparing for that day.  Is America prepared? Are you and your family prepared? Plato (or Santayana) observed, “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” Which ever coined the phrase, the quote recognizes that conflict is a perpetual part of the human experience, and the actual end to war’s horrors is only experienced in death, as the living are constantly caught in its perpetual cycles. God help us … Pray for Perpetual Peace 🙏🏼🇺🇸

And for you, every NRA officer must be poor? We worked for FREE for 5 years of War; no pay, no food, no drugs, and burying comrades EVERYDAY! Then we came and were paid peanuts.. Until your system went Capitalist; privatised, allowed OFFICERS TO DO BUSINESS, which was ILLEGAL UNDER NRA LAW.. So tbose offices have been EARNING A LIVING FOR 40 YEARS, 30, 20...getting paid.... Some as MPs, others are ambassadors, others are Senior Commanders, etc, for 20, 30, 40 years. And also doing Business...; For us, ORIGINAL NRA, IT WAS ILLEGAL TO ANGAGE IN BUSINESS...Your politicians removed it....so Soldiers also became TRADERs LIKE YOU.... But despite all this, for you, every officer who has land, good house and a car is a thief? Yet, you fellows come and become Ministers, MPs, PSs, Commissioners, etc for just 10 years and you drive nice cars, build hotels & fly 1st class. But an officer who has served his country for 40 , 30, 20 years should remain poor? Need to work on your analytics!
