This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

news megathread be like:
"China why wont you nuke your entire soft-power to stop the overstretch of the American regime when it's gonna do what it does regardless?"
China is already helping Iran under the table. There are supply lines from China and Iran. There's also a big player helping Iran with electronic warfare and satellite intelligence. It could be China or Russia.
Demanding the PLA to go marching to Iran's aid of course would be silly but it's clear Iran is suffering a severe deficit in their air defense and are very much in a vulnerable position if no one steps to help them in that area at least. It's not going to stretch the US empire all that much if they decide to simply start wrecking havoc on Iran with B2 bombers. I don't think anyone who doesn't already hate China is going to be upset if they start sending Iran Pakistan level military aid.
They're most likely giving them everything they can plus intelligence support. Exposing that to the public or diplomatically threatens a significant chunk of soft-power they can continue to use.
Could you explain what "soft power" you're referring to here exactly?
