Is there more info about this, especially from sources other than Kyle Kulinski?

>>499844
No, this occurred only a few hours ago. 4chan says the pilot was in contact with the Tower because of ice and didn't report any fire or explosions but I don't know what their source is

yet another fake news from some retard politician's wet dream

>>499801
Nah, there seems to be something going on.

As far as I can tell this was probably something Tusk was encouraged to do by aspiring Fuhror of Europe Ursula von der Leyen.  Poland's judiciary has sometimes been an obstacle to its shift to total subservience to the EU and Fraulein Ursula wanted him to finally settle the issue.

Drones sink Israeli ZIM vessel off Bulgaria carrying hazardous cargo
Three drones reportedly struck and sank an Israeli ZIM vessel off Bulgaria's coast while carrying 421 containers of hazardous materials.

An Israeli-linked cargo ship sank in the Black Sea after being struck by three drones on October 28, sparking a fire onboard, Maariv reported. The identity of the attackers remains unknown.

The Liberian-flagged Contship Jet, chartered by Israeli shipping company ZIM, was sailing from Haifa to Romania's Constanța port when it was targeted off Bulgaria's coast.

The vessel was carrying 421 containers, including hazardous materials such as lithium-ion batteries, corrosive liquids, and acids.

Hazardous cargo raises the stakes in region already strained by 'Israel'
The reported presence of 421 containers of hazardous materials aboard the vessel raises the stakes of any attack at sea.

Cargoes of this kind can cause serious environmental damage and endanger crews and coastal communities if they are released, and the risk grows in a region already strained by the genocide in Gaza and Israeli aggression on Lebanon.

⚡️Statement issued by the Ministry of Interior and National Security:
‎
We demand the international community put an end to the systematic targeting of the police force.

‎The Ministry of Interior and National Security mourns a constellation of officers and members of the General Directorate of Police, who ascended as martyrs in a heinous massacre committed by the Israeli occupation by targeting them while performing their usual work in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip this afternoon, and they are:

1. ‎Lieutenant Colonel  Muhammad Zakariya al-Jamal ‌(44 years old)⁩

2. ‎Major
Bassam Nemat Miqdad ‌
(53 years old)⁩

3. ‎First Sergeant  
Muhammad Amin al-Nims ‌
(37 years old)⁩

4. ‎Police Assistant
Shaher Muhammad Zaroub
(28 years old)⁩

5. ‎Police Assistant  Muhammad Ali Abu Shaar ‌
(23 years old)⁩

‎As the Ministry of Interior and National Security mourns the martyrs of duty from the officers and members of the police, it condemns this heinous crime, and appeals to the international community to take urgent action and pressure the occupation to stop its crimes against the police force, which performs civilian tasks according to the law in maintaining the security and safety of citizens.

‎These crimes and systematic Israeli targeting have led to the martyrdom of 75 police officers and members since the ceasefire came into effect in October of last year.

im not a socialist and i dont have a criticism of mamdani, my goal here is to put pressure on socialists
but just saying that reeks of being a gay copout and i should give you an example even if i dont agree with it completely so here you go

i think that mamdani represents an authentic expression of a desire for socialism
there are different kinds of socialism, at least three main camps that i can think of, and mamdani fits in what you might call the social-democratic or reformist camp
i dont think that this camp is bad, maybe electoral politics and social-democratic reforms are useful or even necessary, but they arent sufficient for socialism and always fail on their own
the reason why people like mamdani and other socdems always fuck up is that one of the main contradictions of going down a purely socdem/reformist path is that the socialist elements are dependent on the capitalist elements, so its particularly easy to force concessions
of course theyre right to point out that the political system is a plutocratic oligarchy but they cant seriously challenge it, they always end up accepting the legitimacy of capitalist politics
so its not surprising that mamdani never seriously attempted to use the power he won to do this
even just considering baby steps he couldve set a precedent to use referendums or he couldve tried to institute popular assemblies, this couldve had an effect even if it was all purely formal
in practice his socialist platform ended up just being a negotiating position to put pressure on the conservative wing of the democratic party to try and make it more "progressive" whatever that means
socialism is defined by production being subject to political decisions, so how those political decisions are made is very important, the lesson of the ussr is that while it is possible to have socialism without democracy the consequences are dire
socialists have to win the battle for democracy if they ever want a chance, what that really means is rejecting the legitimacy of the capitalist state's claim to democracy
people like mamdani (reformists who engage in electoral politics) can be useful as servants to a broader socialist movement in that battle for democracy, but they dont have a viable path to socialism on their own and are utterly awful at being leaders or even just figureheads for socialism

>i think that mamdani represents an authentic expression of a desire for socialism
Oh wow, this is actually way worse analysis than I thought it would be.

This is barely even a critique of Mamdani; you essentially mistake his audience and the public image presented by his electoral campaign for his actual character and role within the DNC. No, to be clear, those things are charades. And, even forgiving my nitpick that social democracy is not an actual form of socialism, it stands evident that there is no social democratic movement of any significance whatsoever within the United States today; the DNC itself has institutionally rejected any facsimile of even so much as returning to FDR-style compromise, let alone "Nordic model" economic policy. The DNC and GOP are fundamentally state institutions, and as state institutions the real interests which they always represent are those of the real state, which, in America today, is the military & corporate state of rentiers, finance capitalists, and plunderers from which the American oligarchs of today emerge. While there is street-level desire for real reform, the democratization of wealth, and the empowerment of workers in the United States, the function of "socialists" like Mamdani, Sanders, AOC, etc. is to suck the life out of any socialist, anti-zionist, anti-imperialist movement and create the illusion that today's American labor movement can and does operate within the institutional parameters set by the most bloodthirsty robber barons alive in the world today. Even if the goal was a "compromise" like social democracy, it would still never emerge under conditions where these figures are treated as legitimate, because attaining even a "compromise" requires some form of pressure from outside of institutions bought and controlled by the American corporate state.

What many critics of Mamdani have done, and I believe were probably right to do (and some examples which spring to mind immediately are Nerdeen Kiswani and BadEmpanada), was that they treated Mamdani's candidacy with an air of "cautious optimism," pointing out, from a perspective of material analysis, why such a candidacy through the DNC was unlikely to achieve any positive results, while still offering "hope" that they were wrong, and approval of the Post too long.

i dont care to defend the argument i gave you since like i said it was only an example and im not a socialist anyways
and im not sure if you understand why i gave it at all (or if you even read past the first few sentences considering how narrowly focused your line of argumentation is)

what sets that argument apart from pretty much all the discourse ive witnessed so far is that it asserts a positive conception of socialism
you can disagree with it and again i dont care, but i do feel compelled to point out that the meaning of socialism is contradictory, contingent and ultimately understood through practice

in other words im saying that something that is merely negative creates nothing
and if any accusation of hypocrisy feels warranted against me then i think its in saying that

The hour is upon us anons, the second round has started abroad. Will post incidents if there's any noteworthy.

Also, what I'm talking about is totally off-topic from your unnecessary rebuttal.

If I were talking about sexual gratification for cishet males,  bet you wouldn't have jumped in with your "lol rights are spooks"

I notice there's not much rebuttal against this platitude that "sex is duty for women, a right for men"

US bombing reported in Bandar-E-Jask, southern Iran

https://x.com/AryJeayBackup/status/2116148445757194734
AryJeay - The IRGC Navy published footage of the 2 tankers, in the eastern and western sector of the Strait of Hormoz, that were involved in an "Incident" bringing them to a halt.

In the footage you can see the tankers being on fire.

Earlier, there were reports that Iran used limpet mines to attack ships. Limpet mines are attachable devices via smaller boats. This means IRGC small boats sailed all the way to those tankers, attached limpet mines, and sailed back while the US military is providing those ships with heavy military cover.

The Iranian Army's Navy says a supertanker got struck by a sea mine in an unauthorized area of the Strait of Hormoz.

This is the 3rd tanker to explode and catch fire today.

The supertanker was carrying over 2 million barrels of oil.

AryJeay - The IRGC confirms my report: A few hours ago, an American MQM-170 drone was shot down in the sky over Qeshm Island by Iranian air defense systems.

This marks the 2nd time such a drone has been captured by Iran.

AryJeay -
The media team of the Iranian leader's office published the following graphic and quoted Iran's latest powerful sentence:

"Respond immediately and effectively to any enemy threat, without geographical restrictions."

The graphic is depicting a ballistic missile probably hinting at increased range.
