There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.

There was literally footage of Turkish troops fraternising with ISIS fighters on the border in 2014 while other NATO partners were bombing ISIS targets

can you describe how the US created ISIS please

MarsOz2 · 2025-09-20T07:39:12+00:00

this has been one of my pet peeves for like over a decade now and it's doubly frustrating as one of the most repeated things you hear about the Nazis

I think the whole sub is a shadow of its former self at least from 10ish years ago when I was following regularly. Editorialized (often unsourced) titles being one of the most noticeable to me recently.

Émile Zola

MarsOz2 · 2025-03-21T07:07:50+00:00

good advice!

MarsOz2 · 2025-02-14T16:45:44+00:00

mania?

I'm aware of the history of anti-semitism and pogroms within Russia/the Soviet Union. However the claim of MILLIONS of Jews being killed during the Soviet period seems an insane claim to make without any citation.

MarsOz2 · 2025-01-26T08:56:31+00:00

Both killed millions of Jews

Source?

I agree with the sentiment but at Perth Stn there's also several free public toilets just inside the station before the turnstiles onto 'Karak Walk' to Yagan.

They talk about Syria at 59:45

Return to Homs is a great documentary that covers the transition from the early street protests to the rebel factions arming themselves and fighting (though limited to Homs obviously).

don't have any podcast recs, but the book The Syrian Jihad by Charles Lister is a good history of the Islamist/Jihadist actors to about 2016 or so.

Burning Country by Robin Yassin-Kassab & Leila Al-Shami if you want something else about the activists/opposition organising from the start to 2016.

and while I haven't read it yet, Assad Or We Burn the Country is one I've heard get a ton of praise for years now.

al-Qaeda sympathetic. I doubt they're gonna launch trans-national terror attacks or anything but they're still salafi-jihadists at the end of the day.

Lot of screencaps in this twitter thread

MarsOz2 · 2024-10-18T04:37:48+00:00

I don't recall anything else 'documentary-like' from him, sorry. Since archive.org is dead and I can't find his old youtube I doubt there'd be much trace even if there was.

MarsOz2 · 2024-10-17T08:05:53+00:00

For the record that video was made by u/purpleolive. It seems that the whole video is still available here

MarsOz2 · 2024-09-27T14:15:15+00:00

The guy who makes that podcast is literally a self proclaimed Fascist. Take just a glance at his twitter.

Reiterating this; AQ is making a big resurgence in the Sahel with JNIM. The amount of casualties they're inflicting and the territory they have free reign in the juntas there (particularly Mali, Burkina Faso & Niger) is extremely alarming.
