Neither of them have men to spare. Whoever wins will need every soldier after the war ends to maintain order and assert power.

haftar only has so much time, as the weeks pass the gna gets closer to an international intervention. part of me thinks haftar is on the lookout for the type of planes he'll need to fight misrata AB, and it probably won't be older generation. he needs to find a air sponsor, while serraj just needs to stall until un forces arrive

Air so clean, city so calm without cars filling the streets.
Fuel shortage has its benefits I guess.

Are the Egyptians still blocking the Iranian oil shipments?
So how do you see the crisis ending? Will this motivate SAA to finally retake eastern Deir Ezzor countryside or do you see this prolonging for months?
Brody Gray
Cars should be banned desu
Lincoln Phillips
Strongest likelihood would be Turkish intervention, like happened in Qatar during that crisis, but it would be more like Syria, with Erdogan calling Haftar Hitler, Nafri Assad, etc..
No idea famalam. Don't see anything changing soon.
Not sure whether that was ever confirmed.
It's not only about small cars though. People here rely on microbuses (diesel) as their main transport. No diesel = Hell for students in particlar and everyone in general.

There is a diplomatic push by Iran in the region, yet we still have to see if there will come something out of it.

No, you see, for the last 40 years, chinks have been playing 4d xiangqi by pretending to be neoliberals while they build the productive forces necessary for full communism.
Justin Nelson
Hell, even Russian Empire's Factory Acts set max working time as 11.5 h/per day for man and 10 h/per day for woman. And I generally quiet about Soviet Union laws - 1918 Labor Code limited maximum working time to 8 hours during daylight and 7 hours at night.
Moreover, in Russian Empire(theoretically) and Soviet Union (de-facto) overtime was paid at separate rate.
>The level of approval of Stalin by the citizens of Russia broke the historical record >The role of Stalin in history is positively estimated by 70% of Russians
Propaganda obviously. Creating these figures again is msut have an advantage for the ones pushing it and ironically it is working.
Eli Robinson
You'd be surprised, but German enforced propaganda attitude toward historical figures like you have towards Hitler or Wilhelm is unnatural and artificial, while reflecting patriotically toward your past leaders who improved stuff and your civilization is completely normal thing, even if you disagree on this and that, does not make achievements non existent.
Aiden Gutierrez
So uhh what is Assad doing now ISIS is gone?
>t. Last here like 3 years ago
Oliver Rodriguez
Because under Stalin they became a superpower, and under everyone else except the various Tsars and maybe Putin, they were in decline Well it would take serious propaganda to make Germans like Hitler again, wouldn't it
Similar as for any subverted nation in the West today, the modern Russian original myth consists of WW2 and beating "nazis and fascists", that's where their whole world view is based upon. Of course if you glorify him for 50 years straight and still continue, it's only going to build upon it.
>does not make achievements non existent. You can look at Hitler and Wilhelm and see their accomplishments WHILE being fully aware of their faults and therefore NOT be revisionary and idolize them but instead see their positive aspects (without any connection to them) and use them when thinking forward. This Stalin propaganda is solely cause Russia is lacking nationalism to keep their populance focused on a goal. Germany is not normal ofc, rather pathetic, but if it can hake free from the kike shackles, without relying on dead strong men, move forward instead. >Well it would take serious propaganda to make Germans like Hitler again, wouldn't it Insane amounts, even though he at least cared for "the germans" while Stalin was willing to sacrifice any russian or commie who came in his way. Baffling tbqh.
Isaac Long
Shit I hope they have a Gothic, Christian theme from a Christian country. They better not put Modernist or Islamic shit on top of it.
Couldn't they boost productivity by cutting hours worked at most jobs? Those hours are "busy work" hours that dull workers rather than having them work efficiently.
Japs should have a "Don't burden your employer! Work efficiently!" campaign to reduce working hours without hurting productivity so Japs can go home and make more babies.
Angel Howard
Hitler didn't care about much. He cared about setting up a world of 'kinds' of people who would battle it out until one kind won.
A illustrative example was the volkswagen beetle. it has often been hailed as the peoples car, or some shit. but it was never intended to be used by civilians. In fact, by the end of the war only 36 had been distributed to civilians. He subverted a whole tranche of funding to start remilitatrisation, and the beetle was a part of that. The fact that his military transport became a global icon after the war is just another story about the success of marketing in general.
There is no real and actual value in idolising josef stalin, and neither is there in idolising adolf hitler. You can use them to understand things, to learn lessons etc but the objective involved in setting up either of these figures as worthy of admiration is just a diversionary manouvre on the part of those who pull the wool down over peoples eyes. That josef stalin is or is not more popular than he used to be is not even news. It is not meaningful. It's just a talking point. You can't make soup from your love of stalin. or hitler. You can only be distracted.

It's all part of the plan to round up all the deep state pedophiles, you just have to be patient.
>You can use them to understand things, to learn lessons etc but the objective involved in setting up either of these figures as worthy of admiration is just a diversionary manouvre on the part of those who pull the wool down over peoples eyes. exactly my point. >Though I would argue in some abstract sense Hitler cared about the ideal that would be his Germania (or jsut Deutschland) which would need the german people. That's it though. He worshipped the ideal, not some destructive sense of constant world war.
You Germans are so fixated on proving you are not commies, or fascists and that you distance yourself from these people, like it's astonishing.
Do you not realize that by mentally blocking even thinking logically about past icons you are entering a thinking box where you go and cry about your contemporary problems in Germany but somehow you can't think of a solution.
You both wrote so much, yet basically said nothing. You could have wrote one short sentence: "This man evil >:d". Would have done the same job.
Charles Myers
By idolizing strongmen you create a "mould" which can be filled by future leaders. Stalin's mythos bleeds into the Putin mythos. Strongman politics is the future and the best way forward. Shared power takes powers away from strong-willed leaders and gives it to hordes of weak-willed sellouts who are put into place by (((kingmakers))) in the donor class and media. I"d rather have a king run things than (((kingmakers))).

Frozen conflict
In Russian folk mentality, Stalin became a semi-mythical figure: strong righteous ruler, who turned agrarian Russia into a superpower. When usual russian is dissatisfied with corruption, bureaucratic arbitrariness, deindustrialization and other things, he says "Cтaлинa нa вac нeт!". In a sense main oppositionist to The Putin Epoch - not Alexei Navalny, but Joseph Stalin.
If we recall that Marx is de facto pro-market fundamentalist... Yep

1. Alibaba is a private enterprise, if its workers are treated badly that's because of the private management. 2. That it causes controversy is clear indication that Chinese people will not stand for it. Working conditions in China are steadily improving, unlike under neoliberalism where they have only worsened for 40 years on end. 3. Fuck ultraleftist concern trolling, China is building socialism in a pragmatic fashion. Because truth finds a way.
>In a sense main oppositionist to The Putin Epoch - not Alexei Navalny, but Joseph Stalin. Well, Stalin fits much better despite being long dead simply because he's not a kremlin stooge with jew mommy.

>You Germans are so fixated on proving you are not commies, or fascists and that you distance yourself from these people, like it's astonishing. I grew up in south africa, i am completely free of any third reich avoidance education. As for commies, they don't exist and by definition cannot exist. Fascism is for people with low brain cell counts.
I invite you instead to look at the new german empire which is the EU. all sorted without a shot being fired (except perhaps in the ex yugoslav states). that'S the way to build an empire. not with some short sighted -ism that at the end of the day is just a fairy tale. hitler isnt more or less evil than bush, or trump or nobama. it's just that he is dead and no longer contributes.
Alexander Foster
You still havent accepted your guilt for the polish death camps. When the day of the nose comes you wont even be blacked, you will be vodka'd
Jason Rodriguez
Completely wrong. It is not what I or the other germanon, I assume, are saying. It is not essential to see these figures as absolutes to compare everything needing to be done by, rather tey can be looked at as either phenomenons or better analytical study them to learn for your own future decision making. It would seem a folly to prop up Hitler (or Stalin) seeing he failed in so many aspects, but denying fascist thinking or Hitler's thinking is ludicrous and not what is being said (though this is prevelant in German politics and people's minds).
Luke Ross
You only think that because that's how things are currently. But things change, will EU survive on itself? Will it survive Chinese dominance? and many more unpredictable factors could happen.
Remember what you call "Empire" is supposed to be a trade union, not a political colonization. People are not stupid.
Parker Russell
>I have no idea what am I talking about but here is my thoughts You are wrong. Our government hate Stalin and do not hide it. Putin made last year as year of Solzhenitsyn. Zaharova (face of our FM) tweeted that she didn't accept kind words from people with Stalin on their avatars. Local authorities deny Stalin monuments people themselves collected money for because, just because. Many such cases, you won't find any positive thing our government said or did towards Stalin. When thieves and liars smear the Man with such force it is only natural for people to gather behind said person.
Wyatt Richardson
Ok but why can't you just think that with 70% of anti USSR propaganda cleared that progress of USSR from 1922 to 1953 made enormous progress to it's own inhabitants? I don't care what man was on top.

>Fascism is for people with low brain cell counts. retarded statement >Remember what you call "Empire" is supposed to be a trade union, not a political colonization. People are not stupid. EU is jsut like what China is doing the 21st century form of trying to establish an empire (though not direct oppressive but sedious and without military force or killing people) Communism wasn't necessary for that. All you needed was a Bismarck and get the Tsar to do all the progress without Gulags. Friedrich III, Franz Ferdinand and Tsar Nicholas with w/e retard there was in Britain would have created a vastly different Europe since they were very progressive and hopeful torwards the future and improvement of the people's lifes. Shame monarchies completely 180 and are so volatile.
