Genuine question here. I cant believe I’m asking it in 2026. Is America run by a fascist regime. Can we class it as run by fascists? I really can’t see any difference at this point.

21 years ago a single submarine of Swedish Navy sneaked past the extensive anti-submarine shields and sank air craft carrier USS Ronald Reagan in an exercise.
Sweden has since refined the stealth properties of the Gotland-class submarines and a newer class is under construction.

Swedish Radio program Gräns did an interview with commander Paula Wallenburg, top brass of Swedish submarines, guardian of Gotland depths.
She was also part of the crew that sank Nimitz-class carrier USS Ronald Reagan in an exercise in 2005.
Worth a listen!

Starmer’s Passivity on Venezuela is Cowardice
Keir Starmer’s evasiveness towards Donald Trump’s assault on Venezuela is a clarifying example of Britain’s ‘special relationship’ of unthinking submission to the White House’s interests.

It does not matter if you are 'very clear.' Nothing Trump has done has let to any meaningful push-back from the UK government in any way.
What will the UK do when Trump does what he *said* he wants to do? Concretely, what is the plan here? Nothing else matters.

I'm always fascinated by which services 'do media' and which ones don't.
As an ex-SBS serviceman once told me:
"The main difference between us and the SAS is we don't write a book just because we blew up a penguin colony."
(Rifles officers were the same in the Peninsular, so it's not a new thing)

Thank God Latin America is Delta’s domain.
Otherwise we’d already have fifteen new SEAL podcasts, sponsorship deals, newly launched protein powders, and a social media catfight about who it was that yoinked Maduro out of bed.

For other countries it is unfortunately seriously worth thinking about how in two successive cases in a row the United States seemingly has used negotiations as a feint from the very beginning while preparing devastating and senseless bombing campaigns which they execute no matter what

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.
