My weekly preamble is in spoiler tags below.
preamble
For the weekend of August 1-2, Trump had once again promised major strikes on Iran, which would have included crossing the critical red line of striking their energy infrastructure. In response, Iran once again essentially promised to end the possibility of modern civilization as we know it throughout much of the Gulf States and, to a certain extent, the Zionist entity, with the economic impacts radiating outwards around the world from there. The frustrating part about these threats from Trump is that while he’s reneged on them before, the consequences of them actually occurring are so dire that it’s difficult to ignore them; rolling a dice with even a 5% chance for complete catastrophe will always be nerve-wracking.
Anyway, as we all know, these strikes did not occur, with the excuse this time being much the same as the previous times: our regional allies begged us not to (potentially true) and Iran called us and said they were willing to negotiate/surrender (untrue). The point of these threat displays is at least twofold: first, to see if Iran is genuinely going to flinch, or, at least, if internal elements that may or may not exist will be spooked into action against the IRGC; and second, to manipulate oil prices downwards by creating constant cycles of “relief” out of an otherwise relatively constant downward trend as Hormuz stays closed and oil reserves continue to ebb. I do say “relatively”, of course, given that Ansarallah now appears to be delivering a boot up the ass of Saudi Arabia by taking offline quite a lot of its refinery infrastructure.
It is into this situation that Ukraine seems to want in. For those out of the loop, the situation over in Ukraine has largely the same overall attritional dynamics as previous years, but with a few added wrinkles. Ukraine started striking Russian infrastructure a while ago, and while their effectiveness is hotly debated and I don’t want to dismiss them as totally ineffectual, it’s clear that the psychological effects - such as they are - are greater than the material effects. Russia’s retaliation strikes have been considerably more impactful, including strikes on Ukrainian Black Sea ports and vessels, and a campaign explicitly against gas stations across Ukraine, as well as some rather impressive and disruptive explosions at Ukrainian military fairs and production sites. Zelensky has admitted publicly that they are now basically out of Patriot missiles and that Russian missiles are now landing entirely unopposed (beforehand, they were just landing largely unopposed, given the lackluster performance of Western air defences in general). He seems to have considered a possible way out: linking together the Ukraine and Iran Wars to a united front against Russia and Iran, which would then grant Ukraine more munitions to keep fighting on.
Now, for all the fear I’ve seen of this occurring (and, don’t get me wrong, the US and Russia being in non-proxy, direct conflict is a genuinely frightening prospect for continued life on Earth) how linking together two wars which the West is quite decisively losing into a single war would help at all is beyond me. At this moment, at least, US military planners appear to agree with me. Ukraine hit a Caspian Sea vessel going to Iran a while ago, but then seems to have quickly apologised after being given a stern talking to by the US. This shows just how willing the US is to grant Ukraine more aid, as their own interceptor stockpile is running very low due to Iranian strikes. One would almost feel sympathy for Zelensky if is wasn’t for… well, everything that’s happened. The path of Ngô Đình Diệm is a tough one to walk.

I am very interested in how this will affect the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which was adopted by the Labour Party in order to purge antizionists from the party.
IHRA’s definition of antisemitism includes the following:
• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
• Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
Hello people of the news mega, I come to you, after quite a long absence, with some Serbia 🇷🇸 News that I haven’t seen reported on here and that I believe is interesting to you all:
Lets begin with the bad and moronic story. In an attempt to play both sides in the Israel war on Iran, Serbia officially sent Theodor Herzl’s grandparents remains (!?) to Isr**l to be buried. This comes a few weeks after the same country sent the only European delegation, besides Russia and Belarus (and the Caucasus nations if you count them as Europe), to the burial of Ayatollah Khamenei and a few months after the same bunch of psychopaths decided to build a factory with Isr**l’s Elbit Systems. This of course all comes at the same time that Satanyahu has a whopping -50% support among the population of Serbia (Putin is unsurprisingly first, followed by Xi).
In equally bad (but in an evil way) news: Ethnic cleansing is steadily going along in Kosovo. All the drama with Serbian documents and license plates has ended by now, and the American puppet government has walked away with total control of all the institutions in the Serbian majority north. Now, the government is conducting illegal demolition of Serbian property, similar to one demonic entity also backed by the West.
Finally, today marks the last day of Operation Storm (wikkkipedia link for those interested), during witch the fascist government of Croatia finalized their grandfathers ambition and managed to complete the ethnic cleansing of the land by completely displacing 200 thousand people from their ancestral homeland. As is tradition, this date is marked with celebrations in the little Reich where last summer half a million people (out of a population of just under 4 million) attended a neo-Ustaše concert.
Burkina Faso expands budget as mining reforms boost state revenues
The lack of any kind of :traore: emoji remains a stain on Hexbear. Anyways, the new mining strategy in BF is pretty impressive and working out great for the country. There’s two major sides to the strategy.
First, the nationalization and domestication of large-scale industrial mines
Then, on its quest for economic sovereignty, his government, among other measures, set the dormant Burkina Faso Mining Participation Company (SOPAMIB) into motion later that year to expand state ownership of mining. By the end of 2025, six of the country’s 15 industrial mines, accounting for 40% of the national mining operations, were domestically owned – three directly by the state, and the remaining three by Burkinabe private companies.
Cashing in on the gold price rally last year, Burkina Faso repaid over two billion dollars in domestic debt. Earlier in May, it also established the Burkina Faso Sovereign Mining Investment Fund (FSMIB).
Financed by surpluses generated when international mineral prices rise above the benchmark set by the state, the FSMIB is ring-fenced for long-term strategic infrastructural and industrial projects, reducing dependence on external funding.
By bringing a big chunk of these mines under Burkinabe control, the state’s been able to create a huge budget windfall that’s even allowed the development of a sovereign wealth fund, a massively valuable tool for self-directed investment.
Just as interesting is part two: the organization and formalization of artisanal miners, which produce more than the industrial mines
This was made possible by mining reforms, which, alongside increasing state participation and domestic ownership, have brought artisanal miners into formal networks. Historically, artisanal mining has been informal. Miners sold the gold to smugglers who paid the international spot price in cash. Tons would thus cross borders, with no paper trail, no taxes, and no yield to the national economy beyond sustaining the meagre livelihoods of the artisanal miners.
To bring the gold they mine into the official channels while also protecting and formalizing their livelihood, the government has delineated four mining corridors exclusively for artisanal miners, who have historically been in conflict with industrial mining companies. It has also set up nine cooperatives for artisanal miners.
The 29 tons of gold the National Precious Substances Company (SONASP) procured from them in the first half of this year was already 64% of its annual target of 45 tons. Accounting for a record high of 40% of Burkina Faso’s national output, artisanal gold production surpassed the 26 tonnes produced by the country’s industrial mines.
Together, the 55 tons, worth six billion dollars, is almost 25% higher than the production in the first half of last year. Industrial production grew by 7.5%. Production by artisanal and semi-mechanized miners grew by 45%.
The state is socializing the benefits of already centralized mining systems AND formalizing, organizaing, and strengthening existing decentralized systems. Sounds a little like socialism to me
Holy fuck this is so good. This is wonderful news for their 5-year plan and their intention of reconquering the entire Burkinabe territories from the claws of the radical Islamist groups while uplifting millions from poverty
Burkina Faso enjoyers stay winning
Too bad he’s hostile to LGBTQ.
Hexbear canceled Traore for that regressive anti-queer law. Don’t expect a emoji soon.
Anyways the rise of Africa is always welcome to see.
We have :khomeini: and
, so that’s not really a disqualifier.I’m sure
loves queer people which is why got an emote on account of loving queer people.I mean one of his victims was trans but I wouldn’t call that love
Really there should be a Traore emote too.
Hexbear canceled Traore for that regressive anti-queer law. Don’t expect a emoji soon.
Liberation for cishet people only is no liberation at all.
How do you feel about Cuba, then?
Cuba literally has the most progressive LGBTQ policy in the world right now so, I like them a lot
And they did not have it from day one…
Very true!
Cuba is on the improvement upswing, especially since the 2022 referendum. It’s not remotely like the situation in Burkina Faso.
Yes, and it took Cuba how many years to get there? Forty or fifty, right? Both Cuba and Burkina Faso started from similar positions - socialist revolutions in former colonies effectively besieged by imperialist aggression. And Cuba through at least the 1960s (realistically into the 70s and 1980s) had regressive policies toward queer people. It took improving the material conditions of the Cuban people for those people to advocate women’s rights and queer rights to the government, which led to that 2022 referendum.
Would you have said the same pithy “Liberation for cishet people only is no liberation at all” about Cuba twenty, thirty years ago? Seems like you’re demanding immediate social progress from socialist states without looking at the history of what is required to achieve it.
Seems like you’re demanding immediate social progress from socialist states without looking at the history of what is required to achieve it.
You’re damn right I am.
Why? It’s an unserious position, failing to take into account the impacts of colonialism on the region (not to mention the pinkwashed NGOs that the US and other imperialists use as a wedge in cases like this, (see also the genocide in Gaza) and it’s arguably not even ours to speak on if we don’t live in Burkina Faso itself. I don’t know about you, but I’m sitting in the imperial core and don’t think I have a right to talk shit on nations fighting imperialism.
Is this confirmation that you would have said the same about Cuba then, and that you don’t really care about the material conditions required for queer liberation? I think that’s a shitty view, to be blunt.
pure idealism
at least you contend it’s regressive.
Well no one who supports Burkina Faso argues that isn’t. The argument is that it’s one black mark on what is by and large an incredibly important, innovative, and progressive revolutionary process. Not only that, but the economic and political sovereignty Burkinabe people will gain from this process should enable the social and cultural development that can produce genuine queer liberation, which is not possible under conditions of colonization.
A lot of people don’t seem to get that true economic and political sovreignty generally has to come first before queer liberation, it seems…
Yes, also to add is that Burkina Faso has only recently halted the expansion of a religious fundamentalist faction, being seen as soft on LGBT+ would have only fueled contempt by rural burkinabe people. As someone who is part of the community, it is unfair but us wanting Burkina Faso to be more queer friendly does not magically make it so.
Makes sense. I think halting the expansion of a religious fundamentalist faction can be seen as progress, too.
i don’t dispute that, in fact i wish china could set aside some j-15s for them but it changes nothing else.
Traore and his political allies merely traded one form of class repression for another. I’m appalled that anyone here can happily excuse prison sentences for queer people for political expediency. Revolutions that don’t liberate everybody are not revolutions, they’re just glorified palace coups.
I’m appalled that anyone here can happily excuse prison sentences for queer people for political expediency.
That’s absolutely not what’s happening.
Revolutions that don’t liberate everybody are not revolutions, they’re just glorified palace coups.
By this definition, there’s literally never been a single revolution in human history.
It’s silly to claim that having emotes of someone means we support them. We have
after all. Why is cool but not an emote of Traore?
look if we’re gonna have a struggle session over potential Traore emojis can we at least combine it with the long overdue struggle session over Zohran emojis?
I just feel like that would save time
I did not intend to start one. But agreed.
can we time it for the next international football tournament so we can cover the containment thread struggle too
There are many important comrades and relevant individuals who deserve emojis but don’t have one.
I was poking around the other day to see if anyone had reported Cool Stuff in Burkinao Faso, and could only find reports of weapons shipments from China. Good post.
The lack of any kind of :traore: emoji
You can always use
That’s a different guy and a different phase of the revolution. I think Traore, as one of today’s leading revolutionaries and beacons of inspiration for anti-imperialism, deserves the enormous honor of a Hexbear emoji of his own.
He’s a direct inspiration to Traoré, so it’s a decent substitute until we have one.
Interestingly China has been encouraging state control of mines as well

I agree that the “save munitions for china” argument is silly–because it’s very clear that the United States is totally unprepared for a major power war, can’t fight a war with China in the near or medium term, & needs to radically rethink its defense strategy. The reason to stop wasting munitions in the ME is because it is just that, a waste. There’s no clear strategy & the U.S. would be better off just leaving.
This is correct. The Iran war exposed important limits to U.S. military power that should prompt American policymakers and military planners to rethink many of their long-held assumptions.
Agreed. What long-held assumptions must be revised? Here is what we have learned since February:
- A. The mature precision-strike regime is definitely here. The second missile age is strategically defense dominant in the sense that it is biased in favor of the situated power and against the power projection of the visiting world power. This is by definition a multipolar world.
- B. The US command of the global commons is gone. There are now zones of denial near the great missile powers where the US does not enjoy unimpeded military access. These great missile powers are poles of the multipolar world.
- C. The problem of base vulnerability has emerged as the paramount problem of US force posture. The US is in the process of closing down its bases within range of Iranian SRBMs because they are too vulnerable to Iranian precision strikes. The problem of base vulnerability is even more pronounced in the Western Pacific, given the scale of Chinese missile capabilities. Both the HAS solution advocated by the defense intellectuals and the air force’s idea of agile combat employment (ACE) are mathematically challenged. All China needs to defeat HAS and ACE is field sufficient missiles and drones to neutralize both. I have shown how US bases in the region will not survive the first week of a Chinese counter-base campaign, even with their present limited missile order of battle. (https://hexbear.net/post/8408736/7149062)
- D. Deterrence in Asia is dead. Not because the interceptor magazine is depleted, but because it was wildly insufficient to begin with. In the era of precision-mass, active base defense cannot work in the vicinity of the great missile powers.
- E. The second missile age has ended the sanctuary era. Iran has proven that the US cannot count on in-theater rear-area sanctuaries. Given China’s present and future conventional ICBM capabilities, there will be no sanctuary at all in a war with China. This means in particular that attacking launch sites on the Chinese mainland will almost certainly result in missile strikes on the US homeland.
- F. Ultimately, all the foundations of the unipolar world have vanished. The US has a long way to go before the means and ends of US military policy and force posture are reconciled. The US needs to revert back to a grand-strategy of hemispheric defense. There is no recognition of this in the establishment although sane voices are beginning to emerge. But the imperial political culture means that the adjustment process will be long and painful.
A bill supposedly aimed at Russia is really an unprecedented new tariff power grab—yet prominent Democrats are backing it.
A new, bipartisan bill could allow Trump to drop 100 percent tariffs on virtually any country he likes, for as long as he likes, and with pretty much bulletproof legal authority to do so; which means even the Supreme Court couldn’t bail out Congress (or the rest of us) next time.
The bill discussed in this newsletter passed the Senate 86–11 on Friday afternoon. Efforts to strip the tariff powers from the legislation (led by Sens. Ron Wyden and Rand Paul) failed. The bill now goes to the House
MoA has a great piece explaining how China is not falling for the US AI bubble:
There is also a difference in attitude. Where U.S. financiers like Larry Ellison are striving for some god-like general artificial intelligence, the Chinese (and some European) developers and financiers are much more interested in solving real world (industry) problems.
A robot to fill the dish washer can operate sufficiently without being able to solve mathematical conjectures. Moreover its internal AI model will have to run on a local GPU and not inside some far away data center.
An abundance of resources has allowed U.S. model developers to build huge, very capable, but enormously expensive general AI models. Those companies have yet to find use cases that will pay for the cost of running these models.
Instead of reaching for the stars, like U.S. companies do, the Chinese are out to solve down-to-earth problems.

One thing I don’t really see people talk about is the idea that a military is an institution unto itself. It has its own concerns and priorities. There are factions within it with competing interests and ideas about how things should be done. When you try to force an institution like that to do something that violates the ideas it has about itself, embarrasses it, or compromises it, you will get a backlash of some kind.

Militaries care a lot about “readiness.” They like to say yes we are prepared for this potential war, we’ve hit our targets for munition stockpiles, aircraft, personnel training, and so on. If you tell them to obliterate their readiness by expending 30% of their long range standoff munitions, 70% of their missile interceptors, and 40% of their MALE drone fleet, they’ll want it to be on something important. They won’t want to compromise their readiness for a decade with a pointless and unwinnable war of choice for the interests of a foreign power. Similarly, they won’t want to be embarrassed by a catastrophic military failure that will shake the public’s confidence in them. Like anyone else they want to be perceived as people who are good at their jobs. The result is that they call up reporters and tell them that we’re running out of key munitions, and it’s not their fault. They want to make it clear that they’ve fulfilled their obligation to follow orders despite believing this is a fruitless exercise that will directly harm the US military as an institution. This has been going on since before this war even started, and it’ll only get more obvious from here.
There are genuinely smart and motivated people in the US military who sit around just like people do on here thinking through various contingencies and coming to the same conclusions. They understand what’s going on here. As an institution the military may be inefficient, sclerotic, hollowed out, or whatever, but plenty of people within it knew exactly how this war would go and what a stupid idea it was. I wish I could remember his name but I think about that tunnelcel who may have been in the USMC. He wrote a paper years ago saying they needed to start putting everything underground immediately. He’s on here too.

from the comments there (machine-translated):
Arrests of Ukrainian mercenary recruiters have begun in Latin America.
more
The international OSINT project TrackANaziMerc reports: Griselda Inés Ortiz, 45, a former Buenos Aires provincial police officer, was arrested in Tigre, Argentina, accused of recruiting mercenaries to fight on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Authorities alleged she recruited former police officers and other personnel trained in weapons use to fight in the conflict. They were lured with promises of monthly payments of $3,000. A pistol, several Ukrainian army insignia, recruitment forms, and Ortiz’s old police badges with her number were found in her apartment in a multi-unit building. The investigation began in March of this year, when airport security officers identified four men at Ezeiza Airport who were planning to travel to Ukraine on a suspicious route. The passengers claimed they were going to work on infrastructure restoration, but their statements contained contradictions, and none of them could explain who was funding the trip or provide details about their return to the country.
An analysis of their itineraries revealed that they were all scheduled to fly on Turkish Airlines to Istanbul, Turkey, with a final destination in Chisinau. They were then to enter Ukraine under the pretext of performing “infrastructure restoration work as construction workers.” It’s important to note that interrogations of the captured Colombians clearly showed that their logistical route appeared identical. Also included were Turkish Airlines, a layover in Turkey, and subsequent transit through Moldova. All of this suggests, at a minimum, the knowledge of Turkish and Moldovan intelligence agencies regarding the transit of foreign mercenaries to Ukraine. It’s significant that while Istanbul is used exclusively for the transit of Latin American mercenaries, Ukrainian intelligence agencies have effectively set up a transit base in Moldova. Authorities are also investigating the involvement of Griselda’s partner, a former federal police officer who later transferred to the city police and is currently on the run. According to investigators, he likely fled to Brazil and was part of an organization recruiting and transporting Argentines to the conflict zone under false promises of employment. This is Jorge Alberto Otero, call sign Trembo, a former member of the Argentine Federal Police who later worked in the security service of the city of Tigre. He is also originally from Buenos Aires.
It should be noted that, according to our information, an investigation into Ukrainian recruiters is also underway in Colombia. However, following the presidential elections in that Latin American country, all proceedings have been suspended, allowing several Ukrainian military intelligence officers to leave Bogotá.
