Here's the article without the link to reddit: https://www.euronews.com/2025/07/10/armenia-and-azerbaijan-move-closer-to-peace-pushing-russia-out-from-the-south-caucasus

It feels a little overblown to me. My understanding is that Russia spurned Armenia and gave their blessing to Azerbaijan's defeat of Armenia. So it's not too surprising that Armenia didn't want Russia to broker the peace, and Azerbaijan didn't need them - they won.

There are troubles in Russo-Armenian relations, but there's no details of Azerbaijan distancing themselves from Russia. If anyone knows more, please let me know.

It's not leaked, it's intentionally published on an official substack.

The memo itself is just more lies from christian nationalists. This one is from a catholic who has previously called for ending democracy and having the church take over the state, pretending that he loves the democratic freedoms of places like Hungary and wants to protect them from the evil fascism of anyone left of Hitler.

>led crowds in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF”

>[The BBC said:] “The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable ... "

>[Starmer said:] “appalling hate speech.”

"Free Palestine" is not antisemitic. Criticism of a nation state's armed forces is not antisemitic. Especially when those armed forces are objectively committing genocide.

That's him, the one whose stated goals can be seen in every move the trump regime makes.

A lot of people do seem to think "bush looks good in comparison to trump", ignoring the fact that the open corruption and rejection of reality under bush was an earlier iteration of our current fascist coup, an important stage in that same process.

Obama openly refusing to enforce the law against those bush era criminals ("I'm looking forward not backward") was another important step towards fascism.

It's worth remembering the bush era's invade the hague act, committing the US to a military attack on the ICC if they prosecute any US personnel for the many war crimes we committed in full view of the world.

Sanctioning judges for acting on an allies' war crimes is new, sure. But the US is an old hand at spitting in the face of international law to protect mass murderers from justice.

A substantial portion of the anthropocene extinction event is the Monsanto extinction event.

Domestic violence is within a family, especially spouses, femicide is "when women and girls are killed because of their gender", to quote the article.

Prosecuting and jailing fascists for the crimes they commit is a requirement for fighting fascism. Here in the US I'm just not convinced yet that Dems are willing to break the taboo on jailing the rich.

Australia has compulsory voting, parties with only minority support can't win by suppressing turnout.

AI or bot account, looks like.

>as a teenager he was associated with terrorists.

As a teenager he was the head of the youth wing of a group the israeli government deemed terrorists.

>a statement about a Christian politician, and like a day later he was killed.

He personally held up yitzhak rabin's car hood ornament at a press conference and said "we can get to your car, we can get to you" shortly before the then prime minister was assassinated by a fellow far right israeli.

Ben Gvir is a lifelong, on-the-record proponent of genocide who was officially labelled a terrorist by israel and almost certainly helped kill yitzhak rabin and end the peace process.

Destroying the transatlantic alliance is probably the main goal of putin's US regime.

Embolden the UK's right wing parties who are largely putinists or deliver yet another blow to transatlantic relations. Yet another example of trump delivering a win-win for putin that's a lose-lose for the US.

The extreme concentrations of power in fewer and fewer individuals that we see in many countries is definitely one driver of global fascism.

But russian influence operations is another big driver, as are increasing poverty and general resource-stress and anxiety brought about by climate crisis and the stasis inflicted by incompetent governments which haven't produced meaningful, beneficial change for their people in decades.

*Putin says

This has nothing to do with obama or peace prizes.

Trump is an agent of putin's will and he's carrying out russia's foreign policy by demanding the full surrender of ukraine.

What's going on with the top of the map?
