> ISTANBUL (Sputnik) - The leader of Palestinian movement Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, had been fighting against the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip for 18 days before his death as he did not want to stay out of the battlefield, the Turkiye newspaper reported on Saturday, citing a source from the movement. > Sinwar was advised to avoid hostilities after he headed the movement's political office in August replacing assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, the source said. > "However, he did not want to stay out of the battlefield, he wanted to die in battle. He had been fighting against Israel in [the southern Gazan city of] Rafah for 18 days and was engaging in a battle with four comrades on the day of his death, a battle that lasted about two hours," the source added. > The source also expressed opinion that Sinwar was alone at the moment of his death, as other Hamas fighters sought to divert the Israeli military in another direction. He intentionally covered his face when filmed by a drone to avoid artificial intelligence recognition, the source was cited as saying by the newspaper. Is this the birth of a new Che?

The Iraqi government has revoked the license of the Saudi-owned MBC television channel in the country and ordered the broadcaster to close its bureau in Baghdad after it aired a report disrespectful to prominent figures of resistance groups in the region. “All necessary legal measures have been taken and the channel’s operations in Iraq are suspended,” the commission announced in a statement. The MBC report clubbed the Axis of Resistance - Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Palestinian Hamas, Yemen’s Ansarullah and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq – and their leaders with terrorists like Osama bin Laden. Named in the report were Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated in an Israeli strike on southern Beirut last month, and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh assassinated in Tehran in late July. It also cited Haniyeh’s successor Yahya Sinwar, who organized Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (Storm) inside southern Israeli-occupied territories on October 7 last year. The report broadcast by the Saudi television channel referred to the martyred commanders and leaders of the Axis of Resistance as "terrorists".

Sadly, using the example of Latin America, fascists have perfected the counter insurgency tactics against guerrilla warfare with the aid of the USA which is the main country funding fascists dictators and/or bloody counter insurgency. From my standpoint, guerrilla tactics will only work where the US imperialism is the weakest(ex the Sahel).

SACRAMENTO, the United States, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- A series of high-risk food recalls swept across the United States this year, raising concerns about food safety and putting consumers on high alert. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has issued 13 high-risk food recalls this year due to hazardous contamination, which has led to multiple fatalities and hospitalizations across the nation. One of the most significant recalls involved BrucePac, a producer of pre-cooked meat and poultry products. According to the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, BrucePac recalled approximately 5.3 million kilograms of ready-to-eat food items on Oct. 9 due to potential listeria contamination.

US and British warplanes have bombed Yemen's capital city of Sana'a and several other areas, amid the country’s solidarity with the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip and the Lebanese nation in the face of Israel's brutal aggression. Yemen's al-Masirah television network said the US-British aggression targeted the al-Hafa and Jirban areas in the north and south of the capital with six airstrikes on Thursday morning. The US military has used "B-2 stealth bombers for the 1st time in airstrikes on Yemen,” the television network said. A US defense official confirmed that the strikes were conducted using the B-2 bomber, which is usually deployed to strike areas heavily defended by air defense systems.

Fortunately, the impact of removing the tax credits is very small or even unrecognizable. Also, Chinese EV manufacturing is already being done in Mexico with no issues whatsoever because the main market is Mexico for those EVs:
Isidoro Massri, director of JAC in Mexico, assured that the prices of its models will not be affected after the end of the tariff exemption, thanks to the final assembly of its vehicles in the country, which allows them to avoid those additional costs. “We have a plant that allows us not to pay tariffs. When the product is assembled locally under the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) process, in which the modules are imported from China and assembled here, acquiring a Mexican VIN, no tariffs are applied,” he explained in an interview.
Even if you check the EV market in Mexico, the Chinese EV are taking a big share and it is expanding with every passing day regardless of the pressure from the USA.

Very true. However, while playing both sides, we have fortunately gotten close to China and Rusia. If this trading partnership grows while the USA exhausts itself, it leaves us in a similar position as Brazil who is in both the G7 and BRICs.

Fortunately for us mexicans, the USA has a lot in its plate at the moment with the active fronts and their plans to destabilize China with Taiwan. The current pressure over our country is with the reform of the judiciary branch, the energy sector(where even Washington's John Kerry came to extort us) and their implementation of the migrant "solution". Some of the pressure is done through the NED funding of some prominent ONGs that in turn fund the opposition to Morena.

Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin stated that the future belongs all of humanity, regardless of whether they come from the East or West. He emphasized that Serbs believe in traditional values — God, nation and family — which are shared by people worldwide. Serbia is considering joining BRICS as an alternative to EU membership, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin told German newspaper Berliner Zeitung. Serbia "will certainly be present in Kazan" in Russia for the BRICS Summit later this month, Vulin said. "It would be irresponsible not to explore all possibilities, including BRICS membership."
On Saturday’s commemoration of the Day of Indigenous Resistance, a statement from the Foreign Ministry reiterated the importance of keeping alive the struggle and resistance of “our indigenous and Afro-descendant people, and to value their current contributions to the strengthening of society”. And also serve for the transition to a new era leaving behind discrimination, supremacism and impunity, he added. Faithful to its anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist tradition, the Bolivarian Republic expressed that the process of aggression against the peoples of Our America “cannot be celebrated nor can it be qualified as a civilizing enterprise”. It pointed out that this has been responsible for -as the Liberator Simón Bolívar wrote- “barbarities that the present age has rejected as fabulous, because they seem superior to human perversity; and they would never be believed by modern critics if constant and repeated documents did not testify to these unfortunate truths”. The Bolivarian government stated that it is the responsibility of all humanity to promote channels to make effective the recognition, justice and reparation of these crimes against humanity.

Notably, prior to the ASEAN Summit, high-level officials from countries like the US and Japan hinted at bringing camp confrontation and geopolitical conflicts into the meeting. However, this intention was met with clear resistance. In particular, the idea of a so-called Asian NATO, proposed by Japan's new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, faced a strong backlash in the region. Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan bluntly stated, "We do not need NATO in ASEAN," while Indonesia's largest English-language newspaper, the Jakarta Post, warned that an "Asian NATO" aims to band against China, which is "very offensive" for the 10-member ASEAN. This significant pushback forced Ishiba to abandon any mention of "Asian NATO" at the meeting. The failure of the "Asian NATO" idea highlights several issues. First, it demonstrates that, unlike the self-satisfied perception of NATO and the US' allies, NATO is viewed as a "harbinger of disaster" by other nations. NATO's actions to enhance its image through stirring up public opinion and to expand its influence by creating and exploiting geopolitical conflicts have only solidified its image as a creator of conflict and chaos in the eyes of other countries. Public sentiment in ASEAN countries reveals a clear disdain for NATO. Describing the organization as a "Cold War zombie" is not an exaggeration; in the minds of regional countries, it should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago.

South Korea this week agreed to pay 8.3 percent more to host 28,500 US troops in the country, a deal hastily closed amid fears that US presidential candidate Donald Trump would ask for even more if he were elected. Meanwhile, according to a report by the South Korean Ministry of Justice, US troops are committing more and more crimes in the country.

The Israeli military “repeatedly” fired at UNIFIL headquarters and positions in southern Lebanon, injuring two members of the peacekeeping force, the United Nations says, as Israel presses on with its assault on Hezbollah. UNIFIL – the UN Interim Force in Lebanon – said on Thursday that two of its peacekeepers were injured after an Israeli tank “fired its weapon” at a guard tower at the group’s headquarters, located in the border area town of Naqoura.

Israeli authorities have detained investigative journalist Jeremy Loffredo following his groundbreaking report that exposed extensive damage to Israeli military bases struck by Iranian missiles last week. To prepare his report on the Israeli bases hit by Iran, Loffredo, an independent journalist based in New York City, traveled to the Israeli-occupied territories and documented several impact sites that had not been reported by Israeli authorities, including areas near the Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv. On Wednesday, American journalist and filmmaker Max Blumenthal, the Grayzone editor, announced on his X account that Loffredo was among several journalists detained by Israeli authorities.

I finished reading AntiDrug Capitalism(is from an author that could be considered trotskyist). If I could summarize the book in important points will be like this:
-
Cartel members and criminals served the imperialists to expand in markets that were locked away before.
-
Just in Mexico, cartel members served to purge places out of any resistance such as activists, indigenous people and others. This allowed the state and the imperialists to extract resources while reducing the likelihood of people organizing against it.
-
They also served to curve immigration by kidnapping immigrants and extorting them.
-
Every latin american country that received money from the USA to "fight the drug war" had spikes of violence.
-
Cartel members could be classified as counter insurgency. In other words, they are the capitalists dogs with the only purpose of destroying popular resistance and misleading working class people. They extort middle class people and petty bourgeoisie(small fruit stores, taco stores, convenience store) while benefitting the big capital(Walmart).
If I could conclude, the USA is directly responsible for creating the ideal conditions to exploit latin america out of its resources and out of its people through cheap labor.

I have been finishing to read the book AntiDrug Capitalism(is from an author that could be considered trotskyist) and this part made me hate the US more.
The translation of the highlighted part is the following:
In 2011, Pemex filed a lawsuit in Houston against ten US oil and pipeline companies for collaborating with organized crime by buying stolen natural gas from Mexico's Burgos Basin.
“The cartels built tunnels and their own pipelines to facilitate the theft .... All defendants have participated in and profited - knowingly or unknowingly - from the trafficking of illegal condensate into the United States and thereby encouraged and financed the Mexican organized crime groups that stole the condensate,” the complaint states.
All of these entities have been militarized as part of the drug war, and some of them have high levels of displacement due to war-related violence.
My question is in the context of imperialism and how the main contradiction turn socdem countries in the global south to align with the USA or BRICS
QUITO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa will seek changes to the constitution to allow foreign military bases to be established in the Andean country, he said on Monday via a post on X.
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Three Americans, two Spaniards and a Czech citizen were arrested Saturday after Venezuelan officials accused them of coming to the South American country to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro. The arrest of the American citizens included a member of the Navy, who Cabello identified as Wilbert Joseph Castañeda Gomez. Cabello said that Gomez was a navy seal who had served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Colombia. Spain's embassy in Venezuela did not reply to a request for comment on the arrests of its citizens. The U.S. State Department late Saturday confirmed the detention of a U.S. military member and said it was aware of “unconfirmed reports of two additional U.S. citizens detained in Venezuela.”
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean commission found evidence that women were pressured into giving away their infants for foreign adoptions after giving birth at government-funded facilities where thousands of people were confined and enslaved from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Surveillance video shows a man setting himself on fire outside the Israeli consulate in the US city of Boston, purportedly in protest of the regime’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza. The incident happened around 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, outside the Israeli consulate which is across from the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Boston. There was a large police presence as investigators collected evidence and searched cars in the area on Thursday. Witnesses described the scene as deeply upsetting. The person was taken to a local hospital for severe burns, but his current condition is unknown. The person’s identity, motives, and condition are currently unknown. But his action is reminiscent of Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC in February 2024 to protest the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
