Hundreds of officers belonging to the UAE-backed ‘Yemeni National Resistance’ have defected to Ansarallah (the Houthis), and gathered in the capital Sanaa for briefing. These officers defected from the UAE-backed ‘Yemeni National Resistance’, their territory is on Yemen’s Western Coast

They are led by General Tareq Saleh, nephew of the late President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the former Houthi ally that defected to the side of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in 2017. It seems almost all of their high command have defected.

Israel used to participate in the AFC and Asian Games (they played against other US puppet regimes like Iran, South Vietnam, South Korea and Taiwan). But during the early 1970’s they were expelled.

Israel was part of the Asian Games Federation and participated in the games from 1954 through 1974. In 1981 the Asian Games Federation was organized as the Olympic Council of Asia and for political reasons Israel was excluded. Following this, in 1982, it was voted on to permanently ban Israel from the Asian Games.

Israel was kicked out of the Asian Games and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for political reasons, primarily due to the opposition of Arab nations and other countries in Asia. Israel participated in the Asian Games from 1954 to 1974. After a vote in 1974, Israel was expelled from the AFC, a decision driven by political tensions with Arab nations. Israel eventually joined the European Football Union (UEFA) in 1994.

Let me make this clear, anti imperialism is when a country the west doesn’t like invades another country. Russia invading “Ukraine” is anti imperialism, China invading “Taiwan” is anti imperialism, the German reich and the ussr invading “Poland” during the 30s is anti imperialism

/leftypol/ is a leftist political board which was originally founded as an 8chan board in 2014 by imageboard users seeking refuge from the reactionaries that were taking over their home boards (particularly 4chan’s /lit/). Its users are known for their dislike of identity politics and everything liberal. Memes originating from /leftypol/ have been of profound influence on the online left, giving us classics such as Porky, Nazbol Gang (and the X GANG meme in general), and political catgirls.

While working with Ian Watson on the story for A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Kubrick asked Watson for a pre-print copy of his Warhammer 40,000 tie-in novel Inquisitor. Watson quotes Kubrick as saying, “Who knows, Ian? Maybe this is my next movie?”

I wonder if this is the Junta trying to appeal to the more socially conservative areas of society. Juntas and military leaders, whether left-wing or right-wing, tend to have reactionary brainworms because of how reactionary the military schools and organizations are.

Chavez mostly ignored homophobia in Venezuela, and even within the PSUV. I don’t think he was a homophobe, but he didn’t do much to prevent homophobia from happening. At least Maduro seems better in that regard, even if Maduro has ties to Christian groups, he also seems to have improved the lives of LGBTQ+ people, and even openly supported same-sex marriage.

Nicolás Maduro assures in Salvados that the issue of equal marriage “has not been debated yet” although he assures that he believes “that everybody can get married whether homosexual or heterosexual” and has committed with Jordi Évole to take the issue of same-sex marriage to the Constituent Assembly. On the decriminalization of abortion he did not want to pronounce himself as it is “a delicate issue”.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Thursday asked the country’s National Assembly to discuss same-sex marriage during its next term beginning in January, citing Pope Francis’ comments this week supporting civil unions for same-sex couples.

The Pope’s comments were the clearest language yet he has used on the rights of gay people. Gay marriage is not currently legal in heavily Roman Catholic Venezuela, despite laws or court decisions in other South American countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Colombia legalizing same-sex marriage. “I have friends and acquaintances who are very happy with what the Pope said yesterday,” Maduro said at an event with leaders of his ruling Socialist Party

A state of emergency will be declared in Bandar Abbas due to the possible spread of hazardous substances due to the fire in Shahid Rajaee Port. Saudi Foreign Ministry: ‘Saudi Arabia is willing to provide any help or assistance that Iran may need’

It is likely that large amounts of sulfur have been released into the air, causing difficulties breathing, irritation to eyes, and inflammation of the lungs. 8 people confirmed dead so far. The Minister of Roads, Farzaneh Sadeq, visited the site of the fires. The chief of the local firefighting department complains they don’t have enough equipment to extinguish the fire.

The situation is very bad. The fire is spreading to other areas of the port, including areas with flammable containers, and more explosions are likely to happen. The order has been issued to completely evacuate the entire port and all its surrounding facilities.

Russia, Belarus, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico and probably some other latin american countries will 100% boycott the 2028 LA Olympics. Idk if China will boycott it but it’s a possibility, which will probably lead to Trump screaming about how the US is getting all the gold medals when they win against San Marino and American Samoa.

The 2028 Summer Olympics will be held in LA lmao

I can see the games in the US being boycotted by some people, there will also be games held in Mexico and Canada.

It was a fertilizer ship, but Israel and the US (iirc) insisted it was actually an Iranian stock of ammo to Hezbollah (which was denied by Hezbollah), and then people on 4chan helped spread the rumor that Israel bombed the ship to avoid the guns and ammo from falling into Hezbollah hands (which Israel denied, and Hezbollah also said it wasn’t an Israeli attack).

It was on TV a lot when I was a kid, but I never cared for it and none of my friends seemed to care either (I guess a lot of context and jokes were lost in the dubbing, and I remember it was one of those Miami dubs). The Simpsons was very popular.

I mean, the KMT (at least the Taiwan KMT) still is a right-wing conservative party unlike the Mainland KMT (Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang - CCK; also commonly known, especially when referenced historically, as the Left Kuomintang or Left Guomindang).

When theres no moon to sail

same guy who almost lost the rights to the name of his game, bc someone created a porn game with the same name and released it on steam

Yes, 700ish people pay him money on patreon for him to make his shitty videos or shitty short movies (I think it was a TV pilot he did and it was not good).

I’ve heard Lebanese people say the Beirut explosion is rumoured to be done by Israel

The conspiracy theory was that Hezbollah was storing guns and ammo inside the ship, and Israel destroyed it. But Israel, Hezbollah and the Lebanese goverment all denied that it was an Israeli or Hezbollah attack.
