WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump will reach out to Kim Jong Un again, he said in an interview aired on Thursday (Jan 23), calling the North Korean leader with whom he previously met three times a "smart guy".

    Trump is a weird guy. He used to go around and give out his personal cell number to head of states from other countries so others can call him in case of serious events and they can resolve it over the phone (at least this is what is reported in the Chinese media, and he gave it to Xi as well)

    He treats international geopolitics like he’s doing businesses, as if the diplomatic affairs between countries are being decided only by a few people at the top.

      I know many, many people that think governments should not only be run as businesses, but they are businesses. One of them is a small time capitalist that really doesn’t understand what government is supposed to do, they think it’s literally a business that you vote for. agony-shivering

    So Trump has already made steps to end/pause the genocide in Gaza, will probably end the war in Ukraine, and he’s gonna have talks with the DPRK again. Once again, Biden and the Dems have been one of the worst regimes in US history, yet they will still call the Dems the “lesser evil”.

      I wouldn’t hold my breath on Ukraine. Putin declined to do peace negotiations without new concessions and now Trump is threatening to escalate tariffs and sanctions. So basically more of the same.

      I guess we’ll see, but in order to do a deal, Trump will have to get Ukraine to make concessions. Obviously he can force them to do it, but that will make him look like he lost something. I think he’d rather stay in a forever war than look like he negotiated a losing deal.

        Does the cutting of aid today make the forever war more or less likely, in your opinion?

          Probably no difference. Military aid funding was already appropriated and apparently still flowing. Plus they have some of the money and weaponry we’ve previously provided, which should get them through the 90 days. Some reconstruction aid will probably be stopped, but it’s not clear.

          The order stopping foreign aid was another of Trump’s poorly written and poorly considered EO’s. The Pentagon has plenty of time to get in Trump’s ear about it before it would affect the war.

      Sure Biden was an unprecedented historical level on the world stage, but did you consider that Trump might be somewhat worse for Americans?

      Gaza: Seems pretty clear that Netanyahu is pausing as a support measure to Trump. Ukraine: End the war by not helping Ukraine fight anymore.

        "Believe me, folks, Juche, it’s tremendous. Really, the best. I’ve been looking into it, deeply, the deepest dive, and this Kim Il-sung, a real visionary, a strong guy, very strong. People are saying, and they’re right, he liberated his people, totally liberated them, from everything, you wouldn’t believe. Self-reliance, Suryong, these are great words, the best words.“

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
