There is a new genre of crank who thinks every medium sized explosion is caused by small tactical nukes:

The dude really thinks the Nordstream pipeline was sabotaged by nukes and even has an entire page on his personal site dedicated to this:

You could tell something was up that for all his pivot towards fascism, Musk hasn’t seriously shittalked China at all. I guess he really wants Tesla factories to continue being in China.

It turns out the father of the editor-in-chief of African Stream is a Central Committee member of Sudan’s Communist Party:

Interesting commentary by a Vietnamese communist:

What happened in Syria vindicated Ho Chi Minh famous teaching “A nation who does not want to fight for its independence does not deserve it”. That’s why even though we got support from our allies (materials, technical), it was the Vietnamese to decide our struggle.

We got “negotiated” by big nation (incl. so called allies like the USSR / China) during Geneva and we learned our lesson. Le Duan famously said if we want unification, we must not fear the US, and also not fear the USSR and China, which means if our allies don’t agree to our course of action (let’s say fully liberate the south), be prepared to get supply cut off and fought on our own term if we want unification.

Reality shows that was correct decision, culminating in Paris 1972 where we negotiate directly with the US. In the last days of south Vietnam, the West called the USSR and China to talk to Hanoi to halt our operation, but it was all in vain.

Reminds me how Iran didn’t want Ansarallah to seize Sanaa, but Ansarallah did it anyways.

It’s one of those things that we will never know unless someone releases a memoir decades later.
