Ah poo poo if I had known Bernie was always going to get ratfucked or assassinated or whatever I would've just done a communist revolution instead of giving him 27 dollars

Bernie was fine whatever that ship has sailed but it's not like we had anything else going on lmao. The most valuable lesson he left us with is that we barely exist.

Chen is just making an observation as an outsider that Bernie seems like the only American politician who might actually be a human.

Chens right, Bernie would give america an off ramp from from its future as a fallen empire, american capitalism would have the opportunity to limp on for another 50 years if the system produced any meaningful change. Universal healthcare, education improvements, expansion of the welfare state and rebuilding the american job market. These are all things capitalists could do tomorrow improve the livelihoods of americans . Essentially, establish come kind of social contract. But that means giving labour and the unions a say again and thats never going to happen.

As it stands Chen can make these kinds of comments and still be correct. Doesn't mean he naively thinks bernie could wave a magic wand and fix things.

DEM motherfuckers made me register as Democrat in order to vote for Bernie in the primary, didn't even get to vote for him one time and he threw in the towel.

I hope motherfuckers lost both houses and Trump get his Twitter back making GBS threads on Biden 247.

Also I heard that hyperloop fuckface is going to fire half of the Twitter stuff. No more handholding. Sure why not.

Some developments in and around the Caucasus.

Iran’s military starts “massive” drills on Azerbaijani border.

Iran launched military drills along its border with Azerbaijan a week and a half ago. Which included practicing pontoon crossings of the Aras River that marks the border between the two nations. This is the first time they practiced such an operation.

Iran also sent its foreign minister to attend the opening of an Iranian consulate in the Armenian province of Syunik. The province that Azerbaijan wants its Zanzegur transport corridor to run through.

Two days after that. A member of Azerbaijan's parliament said the country is planning to open an embassy in Israel.

President Putin hosted Prime Minister Pashinyan and President Aliyev yesterday for talks. Iran's FM called his Turkish counterpart the same day to discuss the situation in the Caucasus. No major developments announced.

Pashinyan is in Tehran today to speak with President Raisi.

Iran appears concerned about the uptick in articles from media outlets in Azerbaijan encouraging separatism in their ethic Azerbaijani provinces, the threat they may lose their transport routes and economic link to Armenia and to Russia, and the presence of EU monitors.

Azerbaijan is Iran
