voting for Joe Biden is not an endorsement of Joe Biden

And yet, anything but fullthroated support for the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to the imperial extraction regime in ukkkraine means you love Vladolf Putler according to these same people

Libs are truly incapable of self-reflection

The situation in Lebanon continues to escalate. Earlier today, Hezbollah successfully directed a significant drone attack against an occupation outpost, destroying a settler military unit.

There are now reports on telegram and twitter that aggression from the occupier has ratcheted up, including what seem to be indiscriminate missile attacks / air strikes against south Lebanon, mostly near the city of Tyre. As always CW for possible reactionary content, and wait for confirmation from more reliable sources

The president of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, has recently signed into law major restrictions on imperial NGOs (ratified last month). Some here might recall similar events in Georgia around a year ago sparking an attempted colour revolution. Hopefully Kyrgyzstan's better economic integration with China and Eurasia (and the absence of any delusions about eu-cool ) will lead to a cleaner expulsion of imperial influences.

Relatedly, Georgia's government has not given up on their efforts to ratify an anti-NGO bill. (Although the western-sponsored riots in Tbilisi around a year ago successfully intimidated the plurality Georgian Dream party into withdrawing the bill, it failed to remove the government.) Now a resurrected bill is back in the news after the parliament voted on and passed a first reading. The president has declared intentions to veto, while the plurality party continues to back it with the potential of recruiting supermajority support.

Major protests in solidarity with the resistance have renewed in Amman, Jordan during the past several days. The focus of the protests is the embassy of the occupier, with which the Hashemite puppet regime retains numerous agreements and close ties. The police enforcers of the Hashemite regime have continued their months-long crackdown against the overwhelmingly pro-Palestine population and responded with the usual state violence.

CW: police, beating, descriptions of violence
