Oman will behave like everyone else, otherwise we will have to blow them up.

Telling someone with a first in history they need to study more is absolutely talking down to them.

I'm not telling you to study more History 😔 Either way, all of us need to study more. And in this case I was talking specifically about international relations and theories of war.

You can't just say stuff like, "There's no diplomacy!" Perhaps you were being hyperbolic, but of course there must be diplomacy.

Yes, that's one of many things I have in mind when describing the situation as "worrisome" 😔

I'm not talking down to you, comrade. Please, don't take it that way.

Violating a ceasefire is a tactic used by the US and Israel because they won't be condemned by the international community for it. Iran is time and time again arguing that only their side is respecting the ceasefire (possibly with political/diplomatic gains in the regional and international stages).

I do expect them to fully leave the ceasefire, but it's happening after making it clear to the international political actors that it was an asymmetrical ceasefire (we ceased, they fired, etc).

Either way, what I really want is for the US empire to fall, and also the whole Capitalist system, and with them all the senseless violence they perpetrate.

You need to further your studies, comrade. When war happens, it happens as continuation of politics and diplomacy. It is a specific political form, in a sense. The unreliability of enemy states is an important strategical consideration, but it doesn't change the political nature of war.

You may be a bit too focused on physical damage to appreciate the diplomatic side of this conflict, perhaps 💙

Chavo del 8 reference in the title? =P

I'm Brazilian and concerned about the Venezuelan comrades. There are lots of worrisome reports coming from there. But it's difficult to separate what's true from what's western propaganda. They do have difficult decisions to make, and what they need is our support.

And obviously Brazil (as a country) is gonna fail to support Venezuela. Lula shouldn't have blocked them from joining BRICS, that was a stupid ass decision that played right into the imperialist hands. Fuck his and his party lack of commitment to anti-imperialist struggle.

Let them cook (themselves)

You still believe in human nature detached from material conditions, which is an idealist position. There's nothing convincing anyone can say to you until you challenge this position.

What are your thoughts on it?

“The objective is not only to defend existing market positions, but to actively deter diversification and preserve China’s central role in global supply chains,” is how a report commissioned by the US Chamber of Commerce summed it up earlier this week. “Taken together, these recent regulatory developments signal a shift from reactive to proactive, future-looking economic coercion strategies.”

The emphasis is mine. This is great xD Mean China is preparing to use "economic coercion strategies".
