  • China retaliates against Trump in trade war with 34% tariffs on US imports

    Jump

  • What were actual Chinese tariffs on US imports like, prior to this?

    Because Trump's little chart said they were almost 70%. A number that feels spiritually true, given how China is actively developing its domestic industrial capacity, but is probably false because they apparently made that chart with an AI slop machine.

  • Should we support Rojava even though the imperialists support them?

    Jump

  • Their relationship with the US is really tentative. The US is far more invested in Iraqi Kurdistan than anything, because the US actually supports the project of Iraqi Kurdistan, whereas they don't with Rojava. Instead, Its a weird alliance of convenience that, given other machinations in the region, I just don't see lasting.

    The thing I keep coming back to though, and a thing I see my fellow MLs completely gloss over in discussions of Rojava, is their relationship with Turkey, and Turkish/Kurdish relations more broadly.

    Turkey is in many respects an ethno-nationalist political project, founded on the forced assimilation, and ethnic cleansing of, Most famously Armenians, but also Greeks, Kurds, and other ethnic minorities.

    Given the splitting of Kurdish homelands across 4 separate countries, the Turkish communist movement has had to grapple very extensively with the Kurdish national question. For instance, On The National Question by Ibrahim Kaypakkaya is all about the National Question as it relates to the Kurds.

    One such actor in this had been the PKK, who's decades-long insurgency has the Turkish state very much on edge, to the point that any Kurdish actor, even the most milquetoast lib ones, get smeared as PKK sympathizers. This extends to Turkey's continual and ongoing violations of its neighbors sovereignty, going into both northern Syria, and Iraq, to "address PKK terrorism" whether the PKK is actually present or not.

    Rojava has repeatedly asserted that it desires to be an autonomous region within a sovereign Syria, and not be an independent state. With its constitution stating: "Syria is a free, sovereign and democratic state". An independent Rojava would be unable to defend against Turkish invasion.

    Speaking of invasions, Turkish backed jihadis are currently taking more Rojava territory in the North west, and have been ethnically cleansing parts of that region for a handful of years now.

    If we care about a sovereign, independent, Syria, I think opposing Turkish and Israeli violations of sovereignty is currently key. And if we care about weakening the west, we should consider critical support for a Kurdish polity on the border of NATOs second largest power, I think that deserves our critical support.

    And if the US wants to strain relations with a key ally, by continuing to support Rojava to the dismay of Turkey (something I don't think will happen long term, but hypothetically if that does happen), I say let NATO weaken itself further.

  • The SDF and HTS/Turkey are deeply antagonistic towards each other, and the SDF was largely cooperating with Assad on the ground, while also recieving US air support.

    The realities of this conflict are far more complex than you're suggesting.

  • The Studio Ghibli movie, Castle in the Sky fits that bill pretty well. Especially on the "old adventure vibe" front. It's definitely got cozy and funny moments throughout, but all the guns and explosions might be a bit much.

    But if you need stuff that's pure cozy, Non Non Biyori is good, as is Yuru Camp. Not big on the fantasy or adventure part, unless you consider walking to the candy store, or going camping, to be adventures.

    For something cozy and fantasy based: Hakumei to Mikochi is good too! It's about a couple of lesbians who live in a tree, in a charming fantasy setting. It's got big cottage core vibes.
