I still find it funny that anyone thinks that the Nixon campaign’s focus on fighting violent crime in 1968 and 1972 is best explained as a segregationist dogwhistle.

BREAKING: Ukrainian forces are attacking Russian vessels in the Mediterranean Sea out of new bases they’ve established in Libya. 200+ Ukrainian soldiers have arrived in Libya according to Radio France Internationale (RFI). The French public broadcaster's article reveals details of a covert Ukrainian military presence in Libya as part of a broader "shadow war" between Ukraine and Russia on the African continent. More than 200 Ukrainian officers and technical experts have deployed in western Libya with the explicit approval of the Tripoli-based Government of National Unity (GNU) led by Prime Minister Abdelhamid Dbeibah. They operate from three main sites: - The Air Force Academy in Misrata - A drone launch facility in Zaouia - A coordination center near Tripoli International Airport In exchange for their being allowed to hit Russian ships, Ukraine provides drone training to Libyan forces, with potential longer-term deals on arms supplies and investment in Libyan oil. The presence is linked to Ukrainian operations targeting Russia’s shadow fleet. RFI sources claim Ukrainian forces launched attacks from Libyan territory on March 3rd, striking the Russian LNG tanker Arctic Metagaz and in December 2005, striking the oil tanker Kandil, which RFI links to the death of a high-ranking Russian intelligence officer Andrey Averyanov and several other Russian intelligence officers on board.

Capitalism was kept in check by the Soviet Union till the 1990s. So many nice policies that western governments in Europe and US implemented were out of fear of communism, fear that people may revolt. Once that threat was gone, the politicians started favoring corporates more and more. Ever since then, capitalism has slowly become completely unhinged because of zero competition. The world needs a strong pushback against these monopolist corporate powers.
