You didn't use Western sources? Really? Let's see about that. In this video, Vaush cited the WSJ: (1/9) Image
The Jamestown Foundation, "a Washington, D.C.-based conservative defense policy think tank.[2] Founded in 1984 as a platform to support Soviet defectors" (2/9) Image
Business Insider, "an American financial and business news website founded in 2007. Since 2015, a majority stake in Business Insider's parent company Insider Inc. has been owned by the German publishing house Axel Springer." (3/9) Image
Vice (4/9): Image
Human Rights Watch, the US based org with a revolving door to the US gov (5/9) counterpunch.org/2014/07/11/the… Image
Buzzfeed, which published articles on China sourced entirely from an Open Technology Fund sponsored project. OTF is literally a US government propaganda cut-out, that also sponsored the Hong Kong riots (6/9): Image
The New York Times, infamous for copy-and-pasting US government "WMD" lies used to justify to the Iraq war (7/9) Image
Radio Free Asia, a *literal* US government propaganda organization (8/9): Image
And extensive use of Wikipedia, whose founder is openly anti-communist by the way (9/9). That's just what I could find from 10 minutes of scanning the video so I'm sure I missed some gems.

Losing in Ukraine to a resurgent and transformed Russia, defeated by Yemen, fleeing from Afghanistan, China containment failing, anti-imperialist fronts in East/SE Asia... We will probably remember 2021-2024 as the first big phase of the collapse of American hegemony in Eurasia.
Russia today now wields the most effective and sophisticated military force in the world thanks to 2 years of fighting a NATO trained and armed country in conventional peer-level warfare, while only using a fraction of its capacity. No other country in the world compares.
The war in Ukraine transformed the world system by exposing the American empire as deeply incompetent militarily, diplomatically and economically. The cracks were already there but Russia delivered the first major blow. The defeat of the proxy armies in Syria was a hint.

Funny how, at this crucial juncture, CPUSA shares this utterly laughable smear job against Iran, which echoes the same "Shia sectarianism/imperialism" hasbara line that "Israel" loves to use to try to divide the West Asian axis of resistance. Image
Yes, we all know Iran is not a socialist state. Thanks for that shocking reminder. You cannot simply hand-wave away their actual material resistance to imperialism in the region, even if you truly (cynically and incorrectly imo) believe it's all just realpolitik for them.
What does spreading this hasbara-esque propaganda achieve for the Palestinian or Iranian people at this critical juncture? If we are truly Marxists and materialists, we have to recognize primary and secondary contradictions and the tectonic shifts in global power taking place.

The Iranian response was strategically brilliant. They understood that however they responded to the embassy attack, the imperialists would accuse them of "aggression" thereby revealing their utter hypocrisy. By taking a "limited" action Iran achieved several things🧵
First, Iran is completely insulated by international law, in contrast to "israel" which is committing genocide and constantly terrorizing its neighbors. How many times have the zionists illegally bombed Syria without a peep from the UN?
Second, Iran knows full and well that the zionists will respond, as they seem to be preparing right now. The zionist response will almost certainly involve them breaking intl law, and will once again increase Iran's credibility.

So in the last few weeks, RAND has come out admitting Ukraine can't win the war and calls for negotiations, the IMF admitted sanctions on Russia failed, and it was just revealed that the US secretly offered 20% of Ukraine to Russia to end the war (the US of course denies this).
There is a lot to unpack with these revelations. First, it's apparent that the imperial planners have, for quite some time, privately understood the futility of the war and public statements regarding Russia's supposed failures and Ukraine's ability to win were lies.
This was clearly part of a sustained propaganda effort to quell public discontent, particularly in Europe, over the hollowing-out of European industry and military independence. How do you justify any of this if the outcome was determined at the outset?

This is Scholz's attempt to appear tough towards China but the subtext to this visit is that it is one of the first high-level visits to China by a major Western economy in years. He brought the leaders of 12 major German companies with him. Let's think about that.
Germany is in a crucial bind right now, with the Ukraine crisis squeezing them on both sides. Outwardly, they have to appear tough on Russia and China, but inwardly they almost certainly know who was really behind the Nordstream attack (UK/US).
Nordstream was a demonstration to the vassals of who is really in charge, an attempt at physically severing German ties to Russia and pulling it westward. No one with two functional brain cells thinks Russia did it to themselves, but the message was clear.

I believe COVID-19 was a stealth biological attack on China, designed to be the capstone of a multi-pronged effort to instigate an internal collapse of the country. You need not look further than the terror that China's Zero-COVID policy inspires in Western media.
The context of the outbreak is too much "coincidence" for me: US trade war, imperial efforts HK and Xinjiang, etc. I find the geopolitical context enough to assign motive, while means and opportunity definitely existed.
And if we're talking about M.O., the American empire should be considered a prime suspect in any event: the US has a known history of biological warfare and unethical "experiments". We know that the only substantial difference between biodefense and bioweapons research is intent.
