Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.
The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.
Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.
I don’t know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Говорит Шестиугольный Медведь!Сообщение Совинформбюро!Hi!
I’m here to publish the list of proposals, made both by the mod team in internal discussions and from proposals made by users last week, to be voted on by the news heads.
The process will be quite simple. Below this comment will be a series of comments from me.
They will follow the format of…
<Proposal Comment>
-
YES VOTE -
NO VOTE
If you agree with the proposal, upvote the comment with
YES VOTE. If you disagree with the proposal, upvote the comment with NO VOTE.The voting margin to pass a proposal as approved shall be with a minimum floor of 36 upvotes, based on the rounded rough average of megathread upvotes of popular comments divided in half. Should a proposal be passed but prove to be controversial by also receiving a no vote of at least 26 votes, the proposal shall be tabled and reworked for presentation at a future megathread should the need arise.
Additionally, the floor will still be open to new proposals with a caveat that the minimum floor for acceptance for deliberation by the council of news mods shall be 31 upvotes. This is just in case someone is struck by the lightning of inspiration and wants to bring up an idea to shape the comm in a better direction.
The polls are now open.
Semper post, news hogs.
Edit: P.S, I know some of the proposals are kinda scuffed looking, if they pass I’ll format them so they look like the others on the rule sidebar. chalk it up to my laziness lol
Edit 2: P.P.S Pig poop balls.
The voting period shall last until the megathread is locked.

Satan and his little family
Can’t find the mega but wtf Hexbear is leaking into Twitter
I’ve spent a lot of time touching grass over the past month, but I’m back at my desk now. I noticed something in the actual Moody’s downgrade article that was glaringly left out of Western media coverage:
Furthermore, the backed foreign-currency senior unsecured rating was affirmed at Aaa. The instruments benefit from an irrevocable, on-demand guarantee on principal and interest payments provided by the government of the United States of America (Aaa negative), with the government acting through U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Notes benefit explicitly from “the full faith and credit of the US” and as per prospectus, USAID is obligated to pay within three business days if the guarantee is called upon.
https://ratings.moodys.com/ratings-news/429502
The US, through USAID, has fully guaranteed some amount of what I assume are dollar-denominated debt offerings from Israel, and (at least in theory) is fully and immediately responsible for paying the principal and interest in full on these instruments, should Israel default on them. How many countries do y’all think we do this for? I’m going to guess not many.
Israel says it will not agree to ceasefire in Lebanon until Hezbollah disarms Al Jazeera - 07:40 GMT
Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz says the government will not agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon, according to Kan, Israel’s public broadcaster.
“The only way that is acceptable for Israel to stop the fire is to move Hezbollah north of the Litani and disarm it,” Katz was reported as saying.
The implementation of all UN Security Council resolutions is also required for a ceasefire in Lebanon, he added.
“As long as these do not occur, Israel will continue its actions to ensure the security of the citizens of Israel and the return of the residents of the north to their homes.”
Katz added that Nasrallah’s assassination was one of the most justified countermeasures Israel has ever carried out, and that he was planning more attacks against Israel.
Obviously, the entity has been emboldened by the assassination. I hope this snuffs out any illusions of a negotiated ceasefire held by the Iranians and other forces in the region. The war will only end with the dismantling of the Resistance, or the dismantling of the entity.

People ask how has the resistance in Gaza suffered less security and intelligence threats than the resistance in Lebanon? Gaza does not have a US embassy.
FOCAC 2024: The People’s Republic of China wants to grant financial aid without compensation of 17 billion CFA francs to Burkina Faso
spoiler
The day after the holding of the 9th Forum on Sino-African Cooperation (FOCAC) , the Youth Club for the Promotion of Sino-Burkinabè Cooperation (CJPC-BF) organized, this Saturday, September 28, 2024, a reflection workshop dedicated to the restitution of the work of said Forum. The objective of this workshop is to better understand the results of this forum and to take advantage of the opportunities it presents for Burkina Faso.
The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) is, according to Lu Shan, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Burkina Faso, of importance between their country and Burkina Faso. “I think this summit allows China and Africa and more specifically Burkina Faso to raise the level of their relationship. (…) This summit allows us to draw up the roadmap for Sino-Burkinabe cooperation,” he stressed.
He also indicated that through this 9th FOCAC, concrete initiatives in favor of Burkina Faso have been taken. "China will grant a customs tariff of 0 to 100% of Burkinabe products and also an aid without counterpart of 17 billion CFA francs and also a food aid of one billion CFA francs , " said the Chinese diplomat.
While stressing that both parties (Burkina Faso and the People’s Republic of China, editor’s note) must increase the volume and quality of cooperation, Lu Shan welcomed the holding of the reflection workshop devoted to the restitution of the 9th FOCAC.
“I think that this (the 9th FOCAC reflection workshop, Editor’s note) demonstrates the keen interest that Burkina Faso has in Sino-Burkinabe cooperation ,” he said. This workshop, according to Abdoul Razahagou Dene, national general coordinator of the Youth Club for the Promotion of Sino-Burkinabe Cooperation (CJPC-BF), aims to better understand the results of this forum and to take advantage of the opportunities it presents to Burkina Faso, particularly through the involvement of young people.
According to him, it will be a question of proposing initiatives and taking ownership of the commitments made during this 9th FOCAC. “This workshop must thus result in strategic recommendations so that our country can, in a proactive manner, benefit from infrastructure, financing and partnerships, while consolidating our cultural and diplomatic ties with China ,” Abdoul Razahagou Dene suggested.
In other words, according to the vice president of the organizing committee of the said workshop, Stéphane Zongo, it is a question of bringing the decisions taken during the 9th FOCAC to the entire Burkinabe population and also to local actors. “And depending on the decisions that will be taken, make a report so that the decisions that will be taken are based on what the population is asking for ,” said Stéphane Zongo.
I don’t know about you but resistance operations didn’t slow a bit since Nasrallah’s death, i think they’ll be fine.
Hezbollah protesters in Melbourne may face police, visa scrutiny
A protester with a photo of Nasrallah during a pro-Palestine rally for Gaza and Lebanon at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne on Sunday.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke threatened to consider canceling visas for people supporting such groups.
“Any indication of support for a terrorist organisation is unequivocally condemned,” Burke said in a statement on Sunday.
“It draws the immediate attention of our security agencies.
“There is a higher level of scrutiny if anyone is on a visa.
“I have made clear from day one, that I will consider refusing and cancelling visas for anyone who seeks to incite discord in Australia.”
What a fucking joke, Posy Parker is coming back to australia in under a month for a “conservative conference”, and they’re getting ready to round up Brown kids. I saw somewhere that a 13 year old got pepper sprayed in the face for carrying a Hezbollah flag yesterday as well.
The Norwegian regime is planning to construct a fence along its border with Russia. So writes NRK (Norwegian state media). The fence is intended to “deter” refugees from crossing the border illegally.
There has been three illegal crossings of the Russian-Norwegian border since the beginning of the Ukraine war.
In case you were still on the fence about Resistance trench

They have since deleted this post lmao
VIDEOS are coming out of NC, TN, GA, ect. Appalachia and Smokey mountain regions got wrecked hard. Like permanently changed landscape hard. Mostly the absofuck ton of rain flooding these valley towns like Asheville and Chimney Rock. Roadways bridges HULK SMASH. Jamed with logs ripped off from landslides and busted riverbanks.
Layers of mud and sediment blanket entire towns.
This is not going to be a quick or easy cleanup. The toll on lives is increasing as well. 64 was the latest number from what I’ve seen.
It’s hard not to feel stabbed in the back by Iran. All that Resistance Axis talk, but we’re slowly realising that we’re just their Ukraine, they want the fight to be to the last Lebanese, Gazan and Syrian, but not to the first Iranian. This is just brutal, we lost our finest men in Haniyeh, Nasrallah and countless others, while they’re doing fucking deals under the table. This is not an equal relationship anymore, we’re just the bumper for their safety. May God have mercy on Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis, they would weep if they saw the state of the Axis today. I don’t want to be full on doomer, but the concept of the Axis itself is eroding under this Iranian inaction and lack of will.
