Syria most notably and maybe Gaza and Iran, with the former being a genocide against Gazans that Hamas seems incapable of stopping, though there is a growing movement against volunteership and the draft in Israel right now, which may help a year or two from then, but do they even have that much time?
Iran closed the strait of Hormuz but got a recent high-stakes meeting bombed.
The Russian Federation doesn’t want to give their advanced ballistic missile systems to Iran, or seems reluctant to do so, to remain in good standing with Israel and maybe Turkey and the Gulf States, hoping to court them.
I don’t even know just how well they’re doing in Ukraine; there was that “drone attack” by Ukraine that was launched into Russia, perhaps all across it, at military facilities, but I don’t know. I was told that they’re gaining 10 miles a day, I think? But I don’t know where those miles or square miles are as Ukraine is still a big country with NATO behind its back.
I don’t doubt that many geopolitical powers are arising and increasing bourgeois infighting, like between Musk and Trump, may result in, well, interesting results. Indeed, it may be that Saudi Arabia will one day turn against the West, but for now, it’s gaining its strength and gaining power over the Western imperialist system, them and their Wahhabi allies. If they smell blood in the water, Iran’s toast, at least maybe…
Don’t get me wrong, I see many positives nowadays… but also many negatives and things are in flux.
It could be like the 1980s where everyone thought the Soviet Union was “winning” until it didn’t (during the very late 80s, at least).
We’ll see what happens.
Here are a few things to keep you hopeful despite how awful it has gotten:
- The trends are not in favour of the G7 or NATO, at best they can delay the inevitable.
- Turkiye is increasingly asserting itself. To think there was a time when it wasn’t even allowed to make ammunition. See: TAI TF Kaan.
- Yemen forced the US into a ceasefire.
- Russia surmounted what was supposed to be unsurmountable sanctions, its economy has out grown the US’s and the UK’s in 2024.
- More science and technology research is happening outside of the US, specifically in China.
- Israel has never been more unhinged and honest about its intentions. In the past they would deny the Nakba, now they openly call for a Second Nakba. In the past they would claim that all they want is to live in peace and to defend themselves from threats, now they are openly threatening Qatar and Egypt.
- The US and Israel are acting violently and irrationally -regardless of party- because they know they are running out of time.
Of course none of this make the genocide in Gaza anymore bearable, and it is depressing that the world is watching and no one is trying to stop it. But the system -rule based order- that allows it is being weakened even if at a slower pace than we would like.
Oho
Israel is bleeding out population wise, a shitload of people left as soon as the first rockets hit.
The DPRK is recovering nicely, many modern town are being built.
China and Cuba grew closer, recently China became the biggest trading partner of Cuba.
Vietnam and Cuba working together to make Cuba rice self reliant.
The AES federation is kicking ass and taking names.
Russia is pushing back ukraine steadily. Not big maneuvers are happening on the russian side because they don’t want the losses that would occur and also do not want to have 100.000s of pows to take care of.
A german Hohenzollern prince recently died in Windhoek while doing buisness with diamonds. Bozo down.
That last one I definitely didn’t know about.
I have been feeling the same and been constantly sad for a while. Over the past 2 years things played worse than I expected. The only upside for me was that Iran survived the last onslaught and inflicted pain the Zionists aren’t accustomed to. On a personal level I am doing great, but I feel guilty, hopeless and helpless to the state of the world around me. Just going on with my daily life as nothing is happening when things are not fine at all.
That said, I’m still hopeful. Maybe the liberal are right for once and Trump will destroy the USA.
Yeah…

I hope so on Isnt’real.
I completely disagree, these small wins have costed the US and Europe all of their global credibility and have completely polarized their populations, it may seem that nothing ever happens but these things will eventually have consequences. They are also facing a very dangerous property crisis and the increasingly growing threat of dedollarization, people like saying that “China does nothing” but it’s not true, the Chinese people have never been one to sit back and relax, while the West continues to sink their resources and public image into Israel/Ukraine, China continues to strenghten ties in Asia, Africa and latín america while developing alternatives to the financial monopoly of the West.
Sure it sucks what has happened in Syria and Gaza, but in the grand scheme of things, they’re gonna end up being Israel problem, the people of Syria won’t keep their heads down so the wahhabist chop them, it will inevitably blowback.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment; I might have needed this.
Helps that my overstimulation is winding down now.
I think one thing that gets me is that Cuba has genuinely not been doing good lately with the increased sanctions and embargo, but that may be a phase, idk
UGH, I hope you’re right, I need the “win,” I guess, I need the liberals and conservatives seething in the news at this point.
But you’re right, in the long run, things feel fine, but I’d do anything to make sure that my Palestinian friends are safe at this point.
Vietnam just built a high-speed rail.
I mean, in the United States, I am very terrified. There is hardly any good news.
I know, but we kinda expect domestic affairs to go more or less smoothly in AES countries…
Somebody, please tell me I am wrong and how, if you can.
On the Ukraine front, Russia is definitely still winning. You can check the maps yourself for the high level. I’m not sure where these 10s of miles are that they advancing, but I don’t see it on a map of Ukraine.
On the lower level, the Ukrainian armed forces appears to just barely be holding on. Most of their true believers are dead, and they are increasingly relying on people that they kidnapped. They are taking massive disproportionate casualties, and as we can clearly observe from NATO panic, Russia is winning in the materiel war as well. This is a war of attrition, and Russia is decisively winning. Hell, even the messaging from on high has changed from saying that Ukraine is winning to Ukraine can still win if NATO just sanctions a bit more and sends more guns. This is also not working, and NATO knows that they cannot keep up with even their existing pace forever.
Alright, alright, and thanks for the links as well.
Yeah, I think that I need to take a breather today lol
For anyone having trouble with the map: It seems not to like Firefox or Safari but seems to work on Chromium, for me anyway.
Odd. It works fine for me on Android and Desktop Linux Firefox. Perhaps Apple specific?
maybe, or maybe me specific idk
At this point, I could use some good news.
Who is we
The anti-imperialists
