— "With just days until Ecuador’s February 7 presidential election and four months remaining on President Lenin Moreno’s mandate, the Ecuadorian government and right-wing elites are still scrambling to privatize the country’s central bank.

The process involves fast-tracking an emergency law dubbed the Humanitarian Support Organic Law, which will “lockdown” the central bank, siphon it from the public sector, and place Ecuador’s financial sovereignty at the whims of private interests."

2021-02-07 21:02:31 Unironically, Israeli media just confirmed the 10 billion dollars are from USA aid that is awaiting at the bank.

Not even joking. Open / Comment

2021-02-07 21:02:31 IDF keeps on scrapping plans to build simulation zones to train the ground forces and keeps on buffing and advancing the AF by allocating more funds they can't afford to pay back. Thanks to US tax payers.

Good to know they keep falling in the same mistake Dan Halutz fell in. https://twitter.com/LebanonaME/status/1358461526483599362 Open / Comment

2021-02-07 20:46:34 The salafist proxies of Israel have essentially achieved Israel's goal of thinning any, slight potential of Arab unity strong enough to withstand Israel's aggressive foreign policy for the stated Neocohenservative goal of regional destabilisation. With divide and conquer in mind, Israel came out on top of the Arab Spring. Every "regime" uncooperative with Israel, minus Iran had a civil war of some kind recently that severely depleted their military capabilities, economy, territorial integrity, infrastructure etc. They're left in ruin and open to U.S. diplomacy. With Biden presenting an olive branch in Syria & Yemen. During the late Trump admin we see scores of Arab states supporting wars for announce formal relations with Israel. Part of Trump's "Middle East Peace plan". Even Syria's Kurdistan is a breakaway state which supports Israel, is supported themselves by Saudi Arabia and has questionable internal service of ex ISIS, Al Qaeda and FSA members.

What is the real play here? Biden's Presidency may be defined by leaving a burning heap of ruin that is the Middle East and pivoting to Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.

Biden picks Antony Blinken: Good news for Ukraine?

>As he prepares to take office in January 2021, US President-elect Joe Biden has nominated longtime ally and advisor Antony Blinken as his pick for Secretary of State. The decision was greeted with cautious optimism in Kyiv, where Blinken is seen as a supporter of Ukraine’s struggle against Russian aggression and someone who has a deep understanding of post-Soviet geopolitical realities.

>Much of this Ukrainian enthusiasm is due to Blinken’s prior record during the Obama administration, where he served as a national security advisor to both President Obama and Vice President Biden before becoming Deputy Secretary of State. Within the Obama White House, Blinken played an influential role in the imposition of sanctions against Russia over the 2014 invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine, and subsequently led ultimately unsuccessful calls for the US to arm Ukraine.

2021-02-07 20:46:34 Syrian Anon (15/7/2018): Met with my friend who is from hasaka and from a big tribe in uni today , we were talking about his village and all and he starts telling me about the DeZ oil wells after i mention SDF rushing there for oil
Told me oil wells were under no one after gov left the area and rebels were still not strong , so people started working the wells on their own and selling oil to iraqi and Turkish smugglers, when this started turning profit oil wells started to be sold from person to person , from 5M SyP to 800M SyP depends on size and capacity , and the sold oil price can be set by the well owner , people had tankers and switched ownership btw family members , until ISIS came

Then i mention that DeZ wells are under DeZMC under some guy named abu khawla and he said he knew him personally, he was just a sheep herder in 2010 with no education and no stable job , drug user and frequent to jail , and when rebels came he became one of them , and then with ISIS and then SDF , now he has 5000 men under him
He helped arms smugglers and traffickers before and during ISIS
Told me he is "money worshipper" and would sell himself to the highest bidder
Crazy shit knowing he used to know him Open / Comment
