So apparently IDF has been laying low and even vacated positions on the Lebanese border fearing a Hezzie retaliation for quite some time. https://twitter.com/spriter99880/status/1321222740859330561 Interesting flag in an abandoned IDF border crossing base... I figured IDF soldiers would be generally right (or even fascist) leaning or does it mean something else in hebrewland not related to anarcho-communism? It's probably just a gang of misinformed doofuses but something about jewish soldiers in Israel being allowed by their superiors to raise communist flags in the barracks make me wonder if there's some esoteric jew symbolism behind the flag...

>But Pfizer, which has been one of the most aggressive players in the vaccine race, had earlier predicted it would know by the end of September if its vaccine worked — an estimate that was later pushed back to late October. The company now projects that it could apply to the FDA for an emergency use authorization for the vaccine, which it is developing with BioNTech, in mid-November.
>Asked Wednesday about when he expects the FDA will greenlight use of the first vaccines, Anthony Fauci moved the administration’s stated goalpost.
“Could be January, could be later. We don’t know,”
Sure, freely admit October prediction was wrong there were some significant pauses due to illnesses/side effects and seems that delayed that quite a bit.
still kinda hopeful about Jan-Feb 2020 if all goes well without further pauses but maybe just wishful thinking? back in may or whenever it was they all sounded so sure about it y'know.
>French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday the earliest a vaccine against the coronavirus can be expected is at the end of 2021. >"No one is telling me we'll be able to get a vaccine before winter '21,"
Do you really think it will only be done at the end of 2021? that's disappointing af. how longer can the global economy endure with such lockdowns? here 2nd lockdown since few weeks too. although I think more relaxed than Germany/France which are total lockdowns. but another year like that people are gonna lose their minds.
>>286563 >i already told you, "by the time the vaccine comes out, the disease will be irrelevant" In what way? the governments don't care about how non deadly it is they're still mandating lockdowns until the vacc is ready. so in that sense it will still be relevant.
>new lockdown allows (some) people to work, restaurants, disco, and bars are closed, non essential shops too sounds similar to here minus the curfew part
>>286565 >In what way? either because the majority of vulnerable people (ie people that necessitate hospitalization due to severe life threatening symptoms, not your average joe) are either dead or immune (which i doubt it'll ever happen because this virus (as every highly contagious disease) is showing influenza like mutation pattern, ie the more it's spread, the more likely for a new strain to appear which can still infect people immune to the old strain)(plus there has been proven second infection by people who already contracted the disease (unconfirmed if same strain or not because we don't test for strains)) or because the virus will have so many mutations that it'll be considered ineradicable and considered as an endemic disease like the flu, to which point any attempt to the >the cure will be worthless because there'd be so many mutations > the governments don't care about how non deadly it is they're still mandating lockdowns until the vacc is ready. it's not about how undeadly it is, it's about hospitals reaching max capacity when they're already dedicated to fighting new covid cases no president want to be known as the huy who ordered the elderly to be left to die on the sidewalk so they push for more lockdown but also no president wants to be known as the guy who destroyed the economy so they wont go for hard lockdown which will be ineffective, still destroy the economy (non essential businesses being out of a job) and still make hospitals reach max capacity and still piss off people so it'll be a blunder and they'll either be forced to pretend that the covid is over and thus make the whole quarantine obsolete or pursue harsh quarantines until they get Kaddafi style riots and end up replaced with someone who'll make the whole quarantine obsolete and by that time no vaccine that can eradicate all strains of covid will exist so it'll always be "b-but wait for the next vaccine, after that it'll all go to normal" don't know if i made myself clear either way i'm already planning to leave this shitty country in a couple of years preferably for a country that isn't run by such retards >so in that sense it will still be relevant. not as in quarantine and freedom restriction and small businesses restriction relevant, it'll be like having a "rocket attack in israel and getting bibi's message on your phone to reach for shelter" tier relevant
>>286566 That was actually a really good concise explanation. heard about the diff. strains stuff. sounds like a real headache trying to chase each mutation with a targeted vaccine. fucking chinks man.
>either way i'm already planning to leave this shitty country in a couple of years where to? go a shortlist yet? also is France going to civil war anytime soon with all the beheadings and macron-erdogan shenanigans?
> it'll be like having a "rocket attack in israel and getting bibi's message on your phone to reach for shelter" tier relevant kek yeah I guess in the end it will just be the new reality that people has to get used to
>>286567 >where to? don't know for sure yet maybe malta (just kidding... unless) >go a shortlist yet? eh yes and no preferably a muslim country but i don't mind going to latin america (argentina, uruguay seem chill) >also is France going to civil war anytime soon with all the beheadings and macron-erdogan shenanigans? nah, political sabre rattling to act like a strong leader to hide macron's inefficiencies and shortcoming, more people are getting killed and raped every year in non terrorist related incidents and it doesn't make the news, just because the media is overblowing it doesn't mean it's a real issue (it's just a tiny fraction and more terrorist attack happened in the 70's and 80s (far right and far left movement) and 90's (islamist group from the algerian "civil war" that seeped through to france) if anything you're more likely to see a revolution against the government due to covid restrictions than a civil war
>>286568 >(just kidding... unless) Kek. actually since then I've done further due diligence on Malta and I'm less excited about it then before. seems like it has ton of issues with noise, roads/transportation (since it's so tiny) and real estate prices skyrocketing. So I'm on the lookout for another exotic place to escape to when the time comes.
>if anything you're more likely to see a revolution against the government due to covid restrictions than a civil war Yeah I thought about too. if no vaccine till end of 2021 and quarantine still in place things will get wild.
>>286571 >has ton of issues with noise, roads/transportation (since it's so tiny) and real estate prices these are city problems, no maltese problems look for countryside where some old boomers are willing to sell their old cottage since their childrne have moved to the city
>>286574 Yeah, but specifically over there there's only one main road that is congested 24/7. and since the island is so small there's nowhere to park or even cycle around safely. And about the noise, apparently in malta they have a weird tradition where they blow up petards (very loud firecrackers/fireworks) for hours and hours during the day. and because the houses are made of archaic stone there's no insulation whatsoever.
>Consider this: a jet fighter generates a sonic boom rated at a minimum of 140dB across a ground level coverage of 1.6 kilometres. A Maltese petard has a rating of 136.7dB with a footprint of 350 metres beneath it. A sonic boom may happen once; a continual barrage of petard blasts in Malta delivers these sonic booms at this decibel level for hour after hour, festa after festa, at night and on Sundays.
Every expat blog and anecdote I've read mention it as the most annoying thing ever. hate to link plebbit but:
>Noise: This is probably the single biggest complaint I have about the island. Everything here is stone, there is no acoustic absorption so you hear everything. Construction everywhere, tires squealing, loud exhausts, church bells and petards. Whatever you think loud is, you don't know until you've lived here. People don't generally care about how much noise they make either. Also bread trucks and the gas trucks blowing their loud ass horns at 7am can be fun.
>>286579 >there's only one main road that is congested 24/7 >they blow up petards (very loud firecrackers/fireworks) for hours and hours during the day sounds like israel :^) at least you'll feel just like home
>>286581 >sounds like israel :^) >at least you'll feel just like home kek yes pretty much. judging by the videos it's as loud as iron dome. imagine hearing this from sunrise to late night. how do they live like that is beyond me.

>>286559 Medfag here. For the record, it is normal for vaccines to take a long time to develop. There's a lot of shit at play and the FDA does not fuck around. A company like Pfizer could go bankrupt if they released an unsafe vaccine, and would seriously hurt if they released an ineffective one. I predicted about a 12 month timeline back when things were just kicking off, and I think that that will be more or less accurate (so a vaccine by around February/March)
>>286870 Is it true that they have some kind of "medical immunity" law that says companies and doctors can't be sued for the damage their vaccines cause?
>>286883 no or at least not where i'm from, they just have a big rainy day fund ( that they fund from their massive margins on the meds they sell) to tap into in case shit hits the fan you can't take them down with a lawsuit, not even big ones where they legit fucked up to cut corners and save some money(see Mediator lawsuit in france)

On the other there wasn't a banishment, no clearing the area the optics were poor. Pros for not messing up the chant too badly and the glasses didn't fall off, Cons for probably and covertly summoning israel's 'angels'. Poor optics, not directly calling each by name, a truly ambiguous goal. Better clothing choice would have better. Could have done something useful. Also wtf is with that fucking chant a custom by the hip bullshit isn't ideal for getting aid.

They're far too much of a hot potato to publicly support and Biden is supposed to act tough against T*rkey anyways.

FNR: ARMENIAN VILLAGERS TORCH THEIR HOMES ACROSS KALBAJAR DISTRICT, AS AZERBAIJAN MOVES INTO REGION PER CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT
Across the Kalbajar District, Armenian villagers have begun torching their homes ahead of Azerbaijani forces moving into the region, set to occur today on the 15th of November. A fear of genocide has prompted an Armenian exodus of the region, as villagers burn their homes to leave nothing for the region's new occupants. The Kalbajar District is the first area of Artsakh to be returned peacefully to Azerbaijani control, per a controversial agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
FNR: POLISARIO FRONT DECLARES END TO 29YR CEASEFIRE AS MOROCCO LAUNCHES OPERATION IN WESTERN SAHARA
In response to the Polisario Front-led Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic setting up roadblocks within their zone of control between Morocco's 'Southern Provinces' and Mauritania, stopping ~200 Moroccan trucks from crossing the border, the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces launched an operation to seize Guerguerat and its surrounding regions. Despite being a small village, Guerguerat is among the SADR's most vital parts, as it is the only way the fledgling state can exert pressure on Morocco due to the control it gives of the Mauritanian border, allowing the SADR to block Moroccan exports. Additionally, it is also the only area the SADR control with access to the sea, with an extrememly minor port to the south. The Polisario Front, based in the Algerian city of Tindouf announced an end to the nearly three decade ceasefire, and the immediate commencement of attacks across Moroccan positions throughout the entire Western Sahara. Morocco has yet to confirm or deny any Polisario retaliations. Morocco seized the region within a day, with no casualties or injuries. >https://www.reuters.com/article/us-morocco-westernsahara-idUSKBN27U0GE >>290119 >https://www.sbs.com.au/news/armenian-villagers-set-fire-to-houses-in-nagorno-karabakh-ahead-of-handover-to-azerbaijan Forgot the link, I'm a little rusty.

TIGRAY CONFLICT SPILLSOVER, CONFLICT EXPANDS INTO ERITREA
FNR: The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) has escalated the recent crisis in Ethiopia, by firing several rockets at Eritrea's capital Asmara. The attack was launched after the TPLF's leader, Debretsion Gebremichael, announced Federal Ethiopian forces had invaded the Tigray Region in conjunction with Eritrea. Gebremichael alleged 16 Eritrean divisions are actively assisting in the Federal Ethiopian operation.
The conflict, which since its start in early November, has been escalating over the weeks, spilling over Tigray's Regional borders, and now international borders, with many believing a wider regional war is not eminent.
The TPLF, once the leading party of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front, the coalition which ruled Ethiopia from 1989 until 2018, has now become the greatest obstacle to Ethiopian PM's Ahmed Abiy's policies. The PM has accused Tigray officials of repeatedly undermining federal orders, and has declared Tigray's September election to be illegal. Ethiopia's rapproachment with Eritrea under PM Abiy was poorly received in the Tigray Region, as conflict with Eritrea remained in the recent memory of many. Ethnic violence has also been reignited across Ethiopia, with Tigrayans in neighbouring regions being attacked after a recent massacre of Amhara in Tigray.
>>290520 >>290542 >>290589 Plus with Ethiopia destabilising, and the conflict already spilling over into Eritrea, and massacres along the Sudanese border where many refugees are heading, its likely the entire region can fall even deeper in the shit. Sudan is only slowly stabilising, with the recent peace deal between most members of the Sudanese Revolutionary Front, significantly de-escalating the Darfur, Blue Nile, and South Kordofan conflicts; and South Sudan's national unity government could potentially buckle; not to mention Somalis in Ogaden, with the Ogaden Liberation Front announcing a condemnation of their region's president supporting the federal government.
The UAE has allegedly gotten involved, with their assets based in Assab, Eritrea being utilised. Russia is planning on building a new base in Sudan too, and Turkey already has a 99yr lease on a Sudanese port. Suakhin, with many alleging they plan to establish a base, although Turkey denies this. Here's a good article about foreign bases in the Red Sea. >https://www.theafricareport.com/49957/ports-military-bases-and-treaties-whos-who-in-the-red-sea/

>>291871 Quite comfortable looking. I want one of each to keep my back yard clean.
>>291988 There has never been a "two party system" in the JewS. Both republicucks and democraps follow the same kike masters. The only 'difference' (if it can even be called that) between their ideo-illogical methods is how they go about continuing their efforts at suppression, indoctrination, and slavery. A good example of this is what happened to the Dixiecrats: at the time nearly all repukes and demorats switched parties leaving only a handful of regions held by the previous democrats and republicans. Those that changed found it (((convenient))) to modify their image. What happened to the Dixiecrats? They were betrayed by (((both sides))), those regions lost all economic impetus and/or influence, eventually declining into... well, fucking nothing.
>>292028 B-52's aren't a threat to nations with long range AA. I guess they're upping the air support for their puppets in Afghanistan (or well, threatening to at least) once the Taliban takes advantage of the pullout.

>>292680 >What? memestrikes will continue in biden era then what wont? the green light to annex some meme village in WB? ultimately it doesn't seem like trump did or could have done much for israel to begin with and biden seems to be the status quo candidate
>>292681 recognition for golan heights annexation for one Jerusalem embassy as well won't be surprised if biden backtracks on both not the end of the world but back to obama tier policies.
btw for the memestrikes it's more about russia than usa
>The Russian vaccine will not be distributed in Israel, but will be purchased with the aim of strengthening relations with Moscow Israel will pay tens of millions of shekels for it
>Netanyahu wants to purchase the vaccine, among other things, in light of activity in the Syrian sector. Israel's ability to operate in the region is conditional on obtaining a permit from President Putin, and Jerusalem does not want to harm an alliance with Russia - even at the cost of purchasing a vaccine worth tens of millions of dollars that will not be used.
>>292682 >recognition for golan heights annexation for one you had it for decades and zoggy couldn't be arsed to recognize it no matter how hard bibi tried to pander to him it wasn't meant to be >Jerusalem embassy as well so what? what does it really changes for israel in itself, some recognition that the average citizen of both countries wont notice? >will be purchased with the aim of strengthening relations with Moscow doesn't seem like buying is the right term, more like protection money thought you jews were good at jewing other people turns out jewtin outjewed you all >mfw
>so what? what does it really changes for israel in itself nothing really, it's symbolic
>more like protection money yep exactly. the Bedouins here do it to all business's btw.
>turns out jewtin outjewed you all Yeah were outjewed by everyone currently hamas gets $40 million every month to keep things quiet too putin gets what whatever he wants jews who pray at temple mount gets arrested etc. we're cucked beyond belief.
>>292685 >he literally did oh yeah my bad i confused it with the plan to annex some WB sector that got scrapped for the UAE deal honestly i doubt biden will go out of his way to reverse anything >the Bedouins here do it to all business's btw. i thought they just hanged in the countryside mainly you're telling me they're running mafias in the cities and mossad can't do shit about it? >jews who pray at temple mount gets arrested quick run down >inb4 it's fines for people breaking covid restrictions
>we're cucked beyond belief. tbf this happened during trump term so i don't think it's fair to paint him as the savior of israel and that israel will be finished if this magical savior goes away israel's problem are deeper than just the presence or absence of Zion Don
>>292686 >honestly i doubt biden will go out of his way to reverse anything guess it depends on things he'll demand from us in exchange of not reversing it. like more settlements in WB he will surely undo it to send a message.
>you're telling me they're running mafias in the cities and mossad can't do shit about it? Yep, especially in the North and South. they take ransom from various buisiness'.. building companies and such. if you don't pay shit gets burned. the police doesn't dare to mess with them or do anything. it's very well known phenomenon on industrial scale here and they basically get away it. pics related.
>quick run down >inb4 it's fines for people breaking covid restrictions no that shit started long before. temple mount is under wakf jurisdiction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_Islamic_Waqf therefore it's illegal for jews to pray there
>tbf this happened during trump term so i don't think it's fair to paint him as the savior of israel Oh I know. Bibi and likud are just cucks. they don't really have the balls to do anything even with pro-Israeli president ever. Status quo is more important to them than anything else in order to avoid wide scale intifadas and riots.
>>292686 >>292687 here's a few from before covid religious jews go there to pray knowing they'll get arrested cause they wanna cancel the Wakf jurisdiction.
>>292687 >if you don't pay shit gets burned. >the police doesn't dare to mess with them or do anything. this is new information for me and here i thought jews were in control of at least their own country you're telling me the people who cucked the majority of the palestinian population into a cuckshed tier territory (where they can't even own their own borders), who cucked the lebanese out of their airspace, who cucked syrians out of their territory, who cucked iraqi out of their nuclear reactor, who kill nuclear scientist in Iran are being the bitches of low caste arabs larping as some hollywood tier italian mob and nobody in the government can do shit about it these bedouins are doing more to disrupt israel than the combined effort of hezbollah, IRGC and Hamas
if this was a book, the editor wouldn't allow me to publish it for the horrendous plot hole
The Bedouins here are on another level. they feel like the own the land and they act like it. I don't know if you've ever met a real desert Bedouin but I can tell you they're nothing alike the "docile" city-arab-israelis/palestinians. they make them all look like wusses in comparison. they don't give a fuck about anything. in the negev they build wherever they want without permissions and the police just runs away (pic related from few days ago).
>a documentation was published in which an IDF jeep was seen surrounded by jeeps of Bedouins, who prevented it from traveling safely and tried to get it off the road. Who stole weapons from a base in the south.
They basically do as they will and no one dares to stop them. The Arabs from WB are far more reasonable in comparison.
>>292692 >in the negev they build wherever they want without permissions tbf it's an empty desert, not like anyone would notice >They basically do as they will and no one dares to stop them. so you can violate another country's airspace to illegally kill people outside of the border of your country in an undeclared war but you can't use police to take down a mafia?
i still find it hard to believe that israel can lobby a foreign world class superpower support to disable UN decisions, can do cross border raids in syria on a daily basis, can send spies in Iran to stall iranian nuclear program by murdering scientist right under iranian counter espionage's nose, can send a fucking swat team to uganda to free hostages, can carry an in-air resupply mission to strike a PLO office in tunisa, can treat millions of palestinians as second class citizen and allow for settlers to steal their land and get away with it but having police take care (even by using violent/illegal methods because israel is clearly well past that) of some gangs of bedouin is too much to ask
>>292692 which reminded me >be israeli >fight multiple wars against outnumbering amount of enemies and countries >win >still end up paying jizya to some camel herders
>>292729 >tbf it's an empty desert, not like anyone would notice lol no, they build near the cities so they extract water/electricity for free and terrorize the locals
>but you can't use police to take down a mafia? >but having police take care (even by using violent/illegal methods because israel is clearly well past that) of some gangs of bedouin is too much to ask By that logic Hamas would have been dealt with too a long time ago. truth is besides pinpoint specialist missions we can't just waltz into gaza or deal with thousands of bedouin raiders. for the same reason and with SLA help the lebanon adventure didn't pan out even when hizb was relatively weak in the 80's.
>>292758 case in point locating and killing some scientist iran? no problemo. actually stopping iran from basing itself in Syria an the Middle Eest? no bueno.
I just hope zogland isn't stupid enough to lauch an attack now like the rumors suggest.
>>292767 >By that logic Hamas would have been dealt with too a long time ago what if they keep them as a controlled op/pressure valve to monitor and gather all anti israeli activists? kinda like why /pol/ is still up and running >I just hope zogland isn't stupid enough to lauch an attack now like the rumors suggest. methinks they're leveraging their last minutes of zognald greenlights while they still can
>>292767 >we can't just waltz into gaza or deal with thousands of bedouin raiders. for the same reason and with SLA help the lebanon adventure didn't pan out even when hizb was relatively weak in the 80's. and yet you managed to win a couple of wars with your neighbors attacking on multiple fronts with massive numbers it's just weird the amount of dissonance
>>292772 >what if they keep them as a controlled op/pressure valve to monitor and gather all anti israeli activists? nah. it's true that in the beggining israel supported them as a counter balance to the PLO but that ship sailed a long time ago. now they're slowly becoming Hizballah 2.
>>292773 easier to defend than attack. realistically speaking of course the bedouin issue could have been taken care of by force alone, but it's like trying to build a new settlement, the whole world watches and goes berserk if you do anything. so we're captive to that dogma. it's similar to gypsies in europe. europeans hates them but they can't really do anything about it.
>>292775 >now they're slowly becoming Hizballah 2. i guess, they both are more of a boogeyman making empty threats and really don't do much except some meme attacks :^) when was the last time hamas did anything serious? >easier to defend than attack what about sinai and golan tho? >and goes berserk if you do anything but do they really hinder israel? all i can see is "deeply concerned" and meme sanctions that are vetoed by USA you're not getting the real south africa treatment where you have hard sanctions forcing you on your knees >it's similar to gypsies in europe. europeans hates them but they can't really do anything about it. tell me about it ultimately they both cornered themselves with that high and mighty talk of civilizational and moral superiority and muh democracy
>>292776 >and really don't do much except some meme attacks :^) kek. I told you they grew too powerful, like hizb.
>when was the last time hamas did anything serious? 2014. their arsenal improved dramatically since.
>what about sinai and golan tho? blame arab armies, dunno.
>but do they really hinder israel? all i can see is "deeply concerned" and meme sanctions that are vetoed by USA well the thing is they are citizens, you can't do too much by design. it's easy to deal with arabs in neighboring countries but the ones who are already here are a different thing altogether, you can't just treat them like hizb and start carpet bombing their cities inside israel.
>ultimately they both cornered themselves with that high and mighty talk of civilizational and moral superiority and muh democracy yeah precisely. taking the moral high ground didn't pay off but we're bound by it.
>>292777 >you can't just treat them like hizb and start carpet bombing their cities inside israel. but mossad can kidnap and torture in their own blacksite their ring leaders for intel to dismantle them i mean mafia fall under the definition of terrorist organizations right >inb4 they have mossad/bibi by the balls
>>292778 >but mossad can kidnap and torture in their own blacksite their ring leaders for intel to dismantle them lmao there's not ring leaders, only tribal chiefs and clans. in the end the leadership here is just too pussified to do anything about it. it's been like that since '48 so I don't expect anything to change anytime soon.
>>292779 >only tribal chiefs ring leaders since it's a family business close relatives will take their place if the patriarch falls you target their family too nature hate voids and will always try to fill it so you fill the empty space with loyal puppets kinda like putin did with kadyrov only way it can fuck up is if your puppet has too long of a leash and start becoming independent, you just have to keep a close eyes on them and replace them if they become too unstable this strategy is proven and was tried many times in history, it's just that israeli government doesn't want to deal with it, maybe out of corruption or bureaucratic quagmire >tfw literal camel herders are the final boss of the zionist plan in the ME
>>292780 >it's just that israeli government doesn't want to deal with it, maybe out of corruption or bureaucratic quagmire pretty much the chimpouts won't be worth it. they can easily scale to an intifada if they band together and everyone wants to avoid that.
>>tfw literal camel herders are the final boss of the zionist plan in the ME topkek
>>292780 >>292781 If it's any consolation, this is even more proof that Jews are not fit to rule the world. Or anything, really. Good governors don't avoid fixing problems just because fixing the problem might be a pain/make them look bad, especially not when that problem's hurting citizens whose interests the governors are supposed to represent. Only whites can rule whites. We're evolved to be smart and empathetic. Our enemies use our empathy to destroy our rationality by lying to us. But some day all will know the truth.

>>293310 Paroxetine ' n shit? Bretty gud, any an-hero thoughts left me completely, I was a bit sleepy recently while taking it but it has passed. Therapy helps a lot too. Just need some work to fulfill this lot of free time I have.
>>293419 >any an-hero thoughts left me completely, shieet, might have to get back on my treatment, i stopped it since the march quarantine and now i'm really feeling down it even affected my relationships in my workplace to the point co workers told me about it >I was a bit sleepy recently while taking it but it has passed like how long did this sleepy period started since you started the meds? how would you describe your memory and ability to focus, did it improve or did it worsen?
>>293420 It's somewhat better I can now focus better on the given tasks, and about being sleepy, it was like I was really tired and needed to go to bed, mostly in the afternoon around 4-6pm. If I shook that off I could stay for those few more hours up and then go to bed around 10-11pm.
>>293482 It was coming back and forth, was rarely having such symptoms before taking meds (well mostly when I was staying 16+ hours playing vidya/shitposting on 4fuck), never when I had normal sleep schedule (F to that), sometimes after 2 course meals but my last glucose level in blood test was 92 that still keeps me 8 points under unsafe levels and I kept on improving my diet - it's just 2nd half of this year when I started to consume sweets due to nerves surrounding coofdemia. Stopped for now, also drinking solid cup of thinned apple vinegar, just in case.
>>293516 thanks for the insights, btw can you remind me on what dosages per medecine you're on? >my last glucose level in blood test was 92 you have diabetes?

>>293572 Nah man, I am good, levels were ok, don't remember what was the gap, but I had like a solid dose of points before being worried about glucose level. And it's Paroxetine, 20mg pills plus Hydroxyzinum 10mg.
>>294019 Well, they got themselves a pretty sweet deal. all of Western Sahara for the small price of a meaningless deal with jews. just to put things in perspective, ZionTrumpy wouldn't even dare to recognize Area C in the WB as Israeli.
>>294020 >all of Western Sahara it's not up to them to guarantee it, meaning these are empty words that wont hold starting from january no US president really has time or political resources to divert to support morocco's claims no one cares really outside of the region
>>294021 >meaning these are empty words that wont hold starting from january Enough time for the Moroccans to subjugate some desert sanddwellers with zero access to resources.
>no US president really has time or political resources to divert to support morocco's claims full recog=carte blanche=do whatever you want.
>no one cares really outside of the region Of course not, It's not like _we're_ doing the occupying. Western Sahara has either been a no-mans-land or in huge war and dispute since practically forever. It is one of the largest disputed territories in the world. And yet you don't see anyone giving a fuck. Muslim politicians can't call out someone big and influential like Morocco for illegally occupying someone else, especially when it just some other less important Muslims. same reason they will never call out Turkey for occupying Northern Cyprus. but when a 30 people settlement pops up in the WB the whole world flips out L M A O.
>full recog=carte blanche=do whatever you want. no, that's not how it works here, morocco doesn't need approval to do it, they've been attempting it for decades and still couldn't get out of the stalemate, what they're trying to do is bring they irrelevant local conflict into the big boys scene and have stronger actors intervening to tip the scale >Western Sahara has either been a no-mans-land or in huge war and dispute since practically forever wtf are you on about? WS has never been in a "major war" nor it is a no man's land, the whole issue stems from the partitioning of morocco during colonization, the southern half has been colonized by spain while (most of) the rest has been colonized by france, during the decolonization period there has been an agreement between african countries to keep colonial borders in order to not have the entire continent engulfed in territorial wars because the partitioning has been done wrong, the fact that morocco was decolonized ('56) at a different time than WS ('75-76) there has been a legal basis from sahrawi population to push for recognition as an independent country in the political theater that's where the dispute started morocco tried to pull that bullshit on Algeria at the independence by trying to annex some Algerian territory on the border (because muh ancestral land that was part of morocco a couple of centuries earlier, despite the fact that they have signed and ratified the agreement which states that they relinquish all territorial claims outside of their colonial borders) has created the Sand War (literally a war for a patch or sparsely inhabited sandy area) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_War they lost it and abandoned all claims for said territory, because they couldn't bully Algeria into submission they didn't stop with WS because the balance of power is drastically different but since Algeria has stepped in to support both militarily and diplomatically WS independence movement, morocco can't completely eradicate the polisario front
>someone big and influential like Morocco again wtf are you on about, morocco is anything but big and influential, the only two influential countries in north africa are Algeria and Egypt >same reason they will never call out Turkey for occupying Northern Cyprus. why would muslim politicians ever call out turkey for creating north Cyprus? also unlike the moroccan claims on WS turkey acted inside the law and their intervention was part of a deal between greece, turkey and great britain completely different situation where one is acting in violation of international law and the other is acting as part of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Guarantee_(1960) >Article I bans Cyprus from participating in any political union or economic union with any other state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Cypriot_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat >The 1974 coup d'état in Cyprus was a military coup d'état by the Greek Army in Cyprus, the Cypriot National Guard and the Greek military junta of 1967–1974. On 15 July 1974 the coup plotters ousted President Makarios III and replaced him with pro-Enosis (Greek irridentist) nationalist Nikos Sampson as replaced president, only for 2 days.[1][2][3] The Sampson regime was described as a puppet state, whose ultimate aim was the annexation of the island by Greece >Article IV In the event of a breach of the provisions of the present Treaty, Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom undertake to consult together with respect to the representations or measures necessary to ensure observance of those provisions. In so far as common or concerted action may not prove possible, each of the three guaranteeing Powers reserves the right to take action with the sole aim of re-establishing the state of affairs created by the present Treaty
i don't think you're well acquainted with the whole situation of WS and morocco
It has similar casualties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
>they lost it and abandoned all claims for said territory, because they couldn't bully Algeria into submission
>wtf are you on about, morocco is anything but big and influential Compared to WS I mean.
>why would muslim politicians ever call out turkey for creating north Cyprus? Well they seem to be against imperialism but only when it suites them. It's especially funny to hear Erdo and Turkish politicians whining about muh palestine when they are so unapologetically neo-ottoman-imperialists.
>also unlike the moroccan claims on WS turkey acted inside the law and their intervention was part of a deal between greece, turkey and great britain Maybe in the inital stage, but that didn't give them the right to then ethnically cleanse northern cyprus and then occupy it. To their credit, I will say that at least they were smart enough to cleanse the area fully before settling it, instead of trying to barter with the locals like we did. had we done the same in 67' in the WB there would be no Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
>i don't think you're well acquainted with the whole situation of WS and morocco Nope, not really. what ticks me off is the hypocrisy (from the west) about muh occupation. After all, who's to say the Sahrawi people fight for self determination is less legitimate than the Palestinians? Yet they don't get 0.1% the worldwide attention and they have zero international support. go to any city in europe and ask the locals what do they think about the israeli palestinian conflict and they'll tell you how evil the blood thirsty israelis are against the helpless palestinians (as they bankroll palestine). ask them about the Western Sahara conflict and they'll tell you "who???"
Of course I don't know shit about it, the intl media has done its best to not talk about it. no one cares about muslim on muslim violence. it doesn't sell.
But, as you can probably imagine, it's not as if I'm personally too invested in the fate of 500,000 Muslim desert dwellers in bumfuck nowhere who I'm sure would want to cut my head off all the same. It just amuses me how blatantly hypocritical western politicians are when it comes to their own morals.
but w/e. morocco could now happily send more people to colonize and enrich eurabia. And maybe (hopefully) a few of the 800,000 moroccans brutes who live here will exercise their right of return :^)
>>294031 >Why are they so incompetent? because polisartio can retreat inside algeria to hide and establish their camp with the help of algerian army >but why can't moroccan army secure the border preventing any encroaching of polisario inside moroccan territory because of massive tunnel system and lack of resources to secure hundred of kilometers of sahara desert with no marking nor any meaningful infrastructure to set up patrols and border camps >??? >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Sahara_War >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Western_Saharan_clashes none of these are major miltary conflict, they're barely skirmishes at best it's like calling palestinian glorified homemade fireworks "a massive carpet bombing of israel" It has similar casualties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. yes, but the border cannot be secured, the good move from israel was to cram palestinians in a tiny territory where they can more easily control the border that and the geography helps a bit more, also massive set up of infrastructures to facilitate the control of said border >Compared to WS I mean. ah okay, my bad >Well they seem to be against imperialism but only when it suites them so is literally everyone do you hear america talking about bringing democracy to KSA? > It's especially funny to hear Erdo and Turkish politicians whining about muh palestine when they are so unapologetically neo-ottoman-imperialists. just lip service to garner support from arab countries, turks really don't care about palestine >but that didn't give them the right to then ethnically cleanse northern cyprus they weren't the one who started the ethnic cleansing, they only secured a zone where turkish cypriot wont have to face the lynching and ethnic cleansing from the greece supported supported greek cypriots they were only reciprocating what was already started funny coming from the people who started by destroying arab homes in '48 to prevent them from going back to their land and then proceed to complain about arab countries expelling jewish population during the 60's and 70's >and then occupy it. it's not occupied, it's a turkish cypriot controlled country (right of people to self determination and all that) >what ticks me off is the hypocrisy (from the west) about muh occupation. just because they aren't talking about it as much doesn't mean they have opposite opinion of it all the anti WB settlements countries are also anti moroccan annexation of WS >ask them about the Western Sahara conflict and they'll tell you "who???" it's all about media representation i can guarantee you that they'd hold the same opinion if they are acquainted by it, just that israel gets more attention because of the (positive) involvement of bigger players (USA and NATO) which also bring negative attention due to bigger presence in the medias you can't have your cake and eat it, the bigger the publicity, the bigger the outcry >no one cares about muslim on muslim violence. it doesn't sell. literally shia sunni conflict in iraq since 2003 has been on the news almost every months >but w/e. morocco could now happily send more people to colonize and enrich eurabia. >And maybe (hopefully) a few of the 800,000 moroccans brutes who live here will exercise their right of return :^) nothing will come out of it, USA has no strategic interest and neither EU, so the media wont talk about it and the players wont intervene except through lip service

>none of these are major miltary conflict, they're barely skirmishes at best well, it's all relative. still, I think a 'major conflict' is terminology deserved.
>just lip service to garner support from arab countries, turks really don't care about palestine I figure. it's funny.
>they were only reciprocating what was already started Stopping ethnic cleansing with ethnic cleansing doesn't sound too righteous. whatever seemingly justified reason they had to intervene and defend turks didn't give them the right to the cleanse and occupy half the Island. And btw you should know I'm not a big fan of greeks in general and their nearly endless history of betraying each other and fighting amongst themselves. they were retarded and at some level deserved it. but that doesn't justifies Turkey's actions.
>funny coming from the people who started by destroying arab homes in '48 Well, the Arabs did declare a war on us the second independence was given to us after jewish homes and lives were destroyed in europe. Well, I can admit that both things were wrong, but lets not pretend things would wind up the other way had the arabs won.
proof that >bro we have no problem with jews it's just zionism dude just return to live under muslim rule everything will be alright is a bunch of bs.
>then proceed to complain about arab countries expelling jewish population during the 60's and 70's Unironically saved the country, so, thanks.
>it's not occupied, it's a turkish cypriot controlled country That intl. considers illegal. again, I don't particularly care about the conflict itself, as I said greeks bought it on themselves, it's the double standard from the intl. community that annoys me.
>just because they aren't talking about it as much doesn't mean they have opposite opinion of it Maybe, but clearly they don't care _that much_
>all the anti WB settlements countries are also anti moroccan annexation of WS Well, I can't remember the last time I saw anyone on CNN etc. even mention this conflict. Meanwhile the Israeli-Palestian conflict gets all the headlines at all times.
>i can guarantee you that they'd hold the same opinion if they are acquainted by it, just that israel gets more attention because of the (positive) involvement of bigger players (USA and NATO) which also bring negative attention due to bigger presence in the medias Sure, but the fact that his conflict is barely covered by the MSM is eye opening. all I'm asking is for some consistency and equal coverage.
>literally shia sunni conflict in iraq since 2003 has been on the news almost every months Yeah, but mostly because of direct American involvement.
>nothing will come out of it, USA has no strategic interest and neither EU What about all the phosphate reserves? >Morocco holds more than 72 percent of all phosphate-rock reserves in the world, it is one of the two most necessary components of synthetic fertilizer.

>>294051 >Well, the Arabs did declare a war on us the second independence also you >but that didn't give them the right to then ethnically cleanse northern cyprus and then occupy it. which one is it?
>after jewish homes and lives were destroyed in europe. at least if it was jewish homes destroyed in arab countries you'd have some straws to grasp at (and that would require not having double standard on the turkish response to greek attacks) but the fact that the justification of the destruction of arab homes is what other ethnicities did is the most blatant bullshit i can ever imagine >but lets not pretend things would wind up the other way had the arabs won. palestinians arab don't owe anything to the european jews for what europeans did to them, they don't even owe them shelter and even less have to accept getting their land partitioned by what essentially are european migrants the zionist movement that led to israel is a purely european jewish movement, not an middle eastern jewish one >bro we have no problem with jews it's just zionism dude just return to live under muslim rule everything will be alright which has never been my claim btw, but some do legit think that point is different ethnicities living together will lead to clashes, riots and massacres had it been a need from middle eastern jews to separate to avoid such conflicts (and by middle eastern jews i don't includes the one that migrated here from europe during the late 19th and early 20th century due to the new zionist political philosophy of that era, i mean the ones that have been here since centuries) i would understand and give some credit to but that's not the case, the spearhead of the zionist movement has been led by the european refugees >That intl. considers illegal how is it double standard if they DO consider it illegal, hell, turkey is getting a ton of flak for their transgression of international community to the point of having joint naval patrol on their sea borders does anyone do that to israel? does any western state put sanction or import bans on israel like they do Iran? >Well, I can't remember the last time I saw anyone on CNN etc. even mention this conflict. yeah and i can't count how many times fox news is giving distorted narratives that benefit israel i think you have selection bias over medias representation of israel >all I'm asking is for some consistency and equal coverage. has the media been covering the mistreatment of muslim in myanmar and india as much? you say that the media coverage is pro muslim/arab but i don't think so >What about all the phosphate reserves? oh you means this barely relevant ressource that america and china has a production exceeding what they can ever possibly need? https://www.statista.com/statistics/681617/phosphate-rock-production-by-country/ just because morocco has the biggest reserves doesn't mean much if the product isn't in high demand otherwise KSA would be rich selling sand >A dispute over Western Sahara’s phosphate reserves could disrupt food production around the globe. water and arable land is the bigger bottleneck than phosphate
>>294056 >also you They started the war. what can I say, they should have won instead of losing to malnourished jewish farmers armed with light guns mate. you don't get to start a war and whine if you lose it and lose land. ask germany about Königsberg.
>which one is it? >Well, I can admit that both things were wrong ..
>but the fact that the justification of the destruction of arab homes is what other ethnicities did is the most blatant bullshit i can ever imagine What? it's not a justification . justification? it was war (that _they_ declared) mate, that what happens.
>palestinians arab don't owe anything to the european jews for what europeans did to them where did I say that? there were Jews in ""palestine"" long before Israel was founded . BUT the reality is that Jews _were_ haunted in Europe and the Jewish homeland was the only place to go. yeah it's sad that it came on the expense of the local arabs who lived there but then again this isn't a factor from anyone running away from war and genocide. Also, what Palestinians? the area was under British control. the Arabs had no say in the matter whatsoever. (and in fact the brits tried to stop and block jewish immigration from europe).
>point is different ethnicities living together will lead to clashes, riots and massacres I agree.
>had it been a need from middle eastern jews to separate to avoid such conflicts i would understand and give some credit to Well, that's the thing, they would never have any chance without outside help but that doesn't make their cause less right. both stem from the same logic (the need for safe jewish homeland). so it doesn't matter that zionist movement was heralded by european jews. Also I cbb to look now, but I do remember from school about such movements and sentiment even in early ottoman times.
>how is it double standard if they DO consider it illegal I meant in the media. I haven't heard anyone talks about the "cypriot right of return" or calls for Turkey to withdraw. I mean, the very idea is downright preposterous and unthinkable for them. yet we gave up Sinai peninsula (3x times the size of Israel) for a meaningless peace treaty with Egypt because of Russo-American pressure. And gaza.. and South Lebanon etc.. the thought of any Muslim nation giving up land is unthinkable for them, simple as that. No one puts any real pressure on Turkey. So yes, there is a double standard. The patrols around the borders is because they're trying to redraw maritime borders to steal gas deposits in the med. from greece and cyprus. Not that I think any of that will help. Turkey will get what it wants becasue greeks are cucks and no one will help them when shtf.
>does any western state put sanction or import bans on israel like they do Iran? not yet but def. possible in the next 10-20 years as europe and america turns into prog-left. And there are sanctions and boycotts on any settlement products, so..
>yeah and i can't count how many times fox news is giving distorted narratives that benefit israel American media ≠ worldwide media.
>i think you have selection bias over medias representation of israel Same to you, I remember in 2014 during the war the coverage in MSM (sans fox and conservative media) showing livestream of gaza getting pounded and crying about the ""genocide in gaza"". Also in 2006 during the Lebanon war CNN/NBC airing lebanese propaganda nonstop. Not even talking about european local channels or F24 which are basically Palestinian networks.
>has the media been covering the mistreatment of muslim in myanmar Quite a bit I think? not in the same capacity perhaps, but myanmar was sanctioned. Also I have been hearing about the 'muslim concentration camps" in china nonstop in the past few months, and I don't see too many muslim nations caring too much. if we'd even try to pull the shit china is doing we'd be under invasion by now. interests and $>morals.
>you say that the media coverage is pro muslim/arab but i don't think so No, I meant that it mostly anti Israel, not necessarily pro muslim/arab. they'll take whatever side is against israel, doesn't matter if it's palestine or a non arab coutry. not because of muh antisemitism, I think it has more to do with their pro immigration/globalist propaganda rather than something specific to us, since israeli policies so contrasted to current european state of mind.
>water and arable land is the bigger bottleneck than phosphate it's still worth a ton of $. also it might be a desert, but it's still 266,000 km² of desert. 12 times the size of israel. if other countries join the U.S. in recognition it means that it will officially turn morocco into nearly twice its size.
That's the equivalent of Israel annexing Syria and Jordan combined. So yeah it's still pretty crazy if they actually get away with it.
Afghan Shitmupdate and Districtmupdate - It lives again. A plethora of gains, most of the action is in Dawlat Shah area of Laghman, south central Kandahar, and western Uruzgan. Taliban also cut the Ring Highway (again), this time near Qarabagh District of Ghazni. Nuristan's two eastern Districts are also mostly under Taliban control since 2019, and Faryab witnessed Almar come back under Taliban control plus Kohistan DHQ in the south coming under siege.
Hey Doc, I’ve got a medical mystery for you: Back in May 2016, I spent basically every day puking in the mornings. As in waking up in the very early morning to vomit, going back to sleep feeling like shit, and waking up again to repeat the ordeal. And nothing I put in my stomach would stay down, I would even put just water into my stomach, only to puke that too about 5-15 mins later. And even when I had absolutely nothing in my stomach I still dry heaved every hour. Here’s the weird part: symptoms would usually start to subside by 10-11AM each morning, and by 12PM I was able to eat and drink normally without even feeling queasy. Only to repeat the puking ordeal the next morning. I didn’t eat or drink anything special during that time period. I was also a NEET during that period so I wasn’t going anywhere. I initially thought it was garlic but I’ve eaten garlic since then and it didn’t fuck me up like that. I will say that in the months immediately afterwards I still felt very sick in the mornings (5am-11am range), initially as in wanting to puke again but later becoming localized in the intestines, especially after eating breakfast. 4 years later I still occasionally get sick in the mornings, especially the early mornings and after I’ve eaten breakfast, but taking a dump always alleviates these symptoms. However **none** of this started before May 2016. So whatever happened to me then definitely affected my digestion for the worse.
I sometimes wonder if bad sleeping patterns played a role in it but I never stayed up later than 1am before than. Plus I stay up later now than I did back then, and I don’t get anywhere near as fucked up, so it’s somewhat safe to rule out poor sleeping as the primary cause of that incident. Frankly, at this point I’ve got nothing.

>>294797 >they stop burning all the stuff they capture Most vehicles burnt on videos were done so because they couldn't be repaired or terrain impeding extraction during a raid. Can remember a video from the west coast of a captured toyota technical with flat tires being driven on the highway to friendly territory to replace the tires, doubt there's any sizeable foreign MRAP replacement parts stockpile or many MRAP™ certified repair shops in Sanaa though.
>>294725 They were burning plenty of stuff that would have taken one guy to drive off and was totally fine otherwise especially back then. A MRAP with a broken windscreen isn't a nuclear reactor, even assuming you can't get the *correct* part if it isn't totally wrecked you can still use it or scrap it to fix others, if you aren't grabbing mostly working MRAPS naturally you wont have the parts to fix others you find. I assume that's why they told their guys to chill with the lighters back during Hodeida. Anyway these new ones are clearly inspired by whatever they were able to deconstruct over the years.
>>294812 Propaganda of destroying an expensive western vehicle with a cheap lighter > spending efforts on salvaging enough damaged MRAPs of all models to be able to keep a foreign MRAP fleet running.
>>294828 I don't think the propaganda is worth <$500,000 after the first few tens of times. The effort especially isn't a problem given the economic difficulty they are having over there, would give a few people something to do for a military benefit which I don't think should be underestimated.
>>294839 The houthis seem to disagree, who knows, maybe the vehicles can be tracked by the Saudis or something. Pretty good bait to find houthi workshops and headquarters when you're swimming in petrodollars.
>>294843 Of course. Seriously though, it's typical conscript arab army behavior to abandon shit, so how hard would it be for western advisors to hide trackers on MRAPs?

Hurras al-Din attacked the Russian held Tal Siman base (built and previosly occupied by the yankees) with at least one SVBIED last night. Unsurprisingly the vehicle didn't reach it's intended destination. just look at the layout of the base lmao Security in the bases' surroundings must have been lax due to the low likelihood that this base would've been targeted, they wouldn't have gotten this close to the Russian base in Ain Issa for instance. The fact that HaD can assemble a car bomb in Raqqa though... must be ex-ISIS locals.

Unknown if the houthis control the peaks near Washal or not and there are three small villages on the dirt road that hasn't been reported captured so i assume they hiked up the valley at Alfa.

>>296469 One could peer into Iraq to see what NATO could achieve with k*rds (i.e slather up their cheeks with lube and force them to submit to T*rkey). SDF already do business with salafis, hell, their arab elements in Raqqa & DeZ are mostly ex-ISIS affiliated tribes who would be happy to be ruled by T*rkey as long as they keep their "autonomous region" and their shia free lebensraum. The only thing stopping it is PYD being Apo worshippers but i reckon that could be toned down if it means they'll have more autonomy than they would have under Damascus. Washington won't repeat the mistake they did in Iraq and let the (non-sunni, shia, alawite etc) government rule the arab sunnis of the SDF region.

Gains on the outskirts of Marib city, current frontline is Wadi Nakhla. With the majority of Medghal district secured and the pro-Hadi forces autistically holding on to the villages of Raghwan, now seems like a good time to push into this axis.
>>297988 The fact that this didn't happened earlier (literally Zion Dons dying breath) shows that the burgers don't actually see the houthis as a terrorist organization. If team democrat actually deescalate tensions with Iran, the future for the Iranian proxies in the ME looks good.

Notice that there is no talk of Biden undoing any of these great achievements for Zionism despite leftjew calling them 'destabilising'.
Anyway that's just taking the fucking piss, this Cuba thing is so exceptional it may get undone anyway.
>>298156 Not to imply being placed on the terrorism list actually does anything, the optics are just really bad for no real gain to Jews, so it could get reversed to run cover for the stuff that wont get removed because it's important, eg Morocco-Israel deal.
>>298156 >>298161 In the case of Yemen, it's only going to make the bad humanitarian situation worse. Though as if that ever has mattered, though it's obvious that it's Trump / Pompeo crawling in front of Bibi.
>>298183 Eh, houthi territory is already blockaded and the zogbots support the saudi coalition, the situation can't really get worse unless . HTS are designated as a terrorist group even by T*rkey and they get by just fine.
>>298200 unless the Saudis somehow get Biden to support them with boots on the ground* No way the juden are dumb enough to get their golems stuck in another Afghanistan.
>>298203 Let's hope not. Die-hard houthis won't surrender, but the sunnis, moderate zaydis and secular people might abandon the cause if there's no humanitarian aid. Man, it would suck big time if the same revolutionaries who managed to survive the Saudi coalition, Salehs betrayal and the overall dire situation so far, got beaten by literal starvation. >>298204 Yep, and hopefully losing Marib will break their resolve completely.

>>298539 I haven't been able to confirm the locations of the mountains but i reckon this is how the siege happened: 1. Pro-Hadi forces capture the Rahum area, Jabal Quraida and Jabal Naqum 2. They foolishly attempt to capture Jabal Sanasil and get ambushed, houthis launch counterattacks recapturing Jabal Naqum and re-establishing fire control over the lower area between Rahum and Quraida. 3. Hadi forces take cover in the villages between Jabal Quraida and Jabal Naqum before eventually surrendering. It isn't a Nihm-tier victory but hopefully this costly fiasco broke the Muradi tribes' fighting spirit, nearly triple digit casualties has to sting.

I stopped paying attention to the Ethiopian war for a few weeks assuming it was basically over after the TPLF got crumped out of their capital and half their land, apparently they are still doing stuff. There is also reasonably minor fighting over some disputed scrap between Sudan and Ethiopia, I don't think it will amount to anything, the time for Egypt and Sudan to attack is probably gone unless Ethiopia can blunder into a really public Tigray famine (not unlikely).

>>298918 >rundown on what's been going on the past 7 years with Syria I guess that depends on how much detail you want it in, I don't know of any good and complete article which would be able to give you any detailed information over such a wide timeframe. If you know basically nothing what I would try is to go through the Wikipedia timeline of events (keeping in mind that it isn't exactly accurate in places) and try to deep dive into any specific event or subject that sticks out at you as particularly interesting, with this you can slowly build up a base of knowledge and fill out the misinformation that the basic Wikipedia may have given you.

Only kind of logical theory i can come up with is that they don't mind this front collapsing because they've given up hope on getting anywhere near Saada or Hazm. This manpower can be put to better use on fronts that actually matters like Marib whilst the regular Saudi border guards handles the pre-war border. Then again, it would free up a ton of houthis aswell...

Not fun times for anyone it seems. All this while Sudan reclaims border land and the Tigray continue being exceptionally and unreasonably useless.
Anyways, i think the biggest progress so far is on the Sirwah/Bani Dhabyan/Jubah front where the neutral tribe(s) of Bani Dhabyan finally agreed to let the houthis launch an attack through their territory against Hadi/Coalition territory. Meaning the majority of Wadi Dhana (the main river source of Marib dam) is under Houthi control and so they have had an opportunity to bypass the frontlines. Big focus is directed on Sirwah, but if the houthis are quick they could definitely threaten to cut the Marib-Jubah road, which would spell doom for Hadi held Jabal Murad district.
>>300844 Disclaimer: Nothing i say is 100% confirmed. I'll feel like Nostradamus if this is turns out to be true though since i started laying the dirt roads running through this area months ago on wikimapia.
>Hadi forces were able to break the Houthi forces' offensive south of Marib >Intermittent clashes in west Jubah, Jabal Murad and Al-Abdiyyah and reinforcements for both sides continues to mass >The coalition warplanes target Sirwah with 25 air strikes, one of which targeted the special forces of Hadi's forces on Talat Al-Hamra >Houthi forces control Dahsha camp (Western Kawfil) and Hammat Amir, in the far east of the Sirwah directorate >Houthi forces withdraw from the Shaeb Jamila south of Sirwah after reactivating the Houthi agreement with the Bani Dabyan tribes >Hadi's forces were able to break the Houthi forces' attack on Asdas (Raghwan District Center). https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1359561984321204230
>Houthi forces withdraw from the Shaeb Jamila south of Sirwah after reactivating the Houthi agreement with the Bani Dabyan tribes Kawfil front collapsed thanks to the maneuver in Wadi Dhana and that's what matters. This likely means an incursion into northwest Jubah won't happen anytime soon, but i reckon seizing the mountains takes higher priority for the houthis at the moment.
>Marib, Sarwah >Sheikh Abdullah Muhammad Toaiman agreed with the Houthis to spare the Al-Zour region and its environs from fighting and destruction >He pledged to expel and prevent any gathering of Hadi forces around Al-Zour in exchange for the Houthis not entering them and using the asphalt road safely and bypassing them. https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1359644023342915591

I've been analyzing the mountain front of west Marib and have come to the conclusion that Talat al-Hamra actually is the mountain to the west of where it is on wikimapia. The lack of geo-locatable image proof doesn't lend credence to either location, but my theory makes sense when comparing signs of actual fortification on the two mountains, supply lines and line of sight. The frontline north/northeast of the Talat al-Hamra area i am even more unsure about. Hopefully i am wrong or a breakthrough actually happens this time, the houthis have been stopped at Talat al-Hamra in previous offensives and sadly it's starting to look like a re-run...

I have seen report of SAA 5th corp and tiger forces arriving near al-Bab and now this: >Video of SAA 16th Storming Brigade technicals and artillery posted on Feb 16, same day the unit arrived near al-Bab #Aleppo. Brigade was formed last year and is commanded by Brig Saleh Abdullah, formerly of the #Tiger_Forces https://twitter.com/GregoryPWaters/status/1362488992093110277

>>301252 >>301294 >Nuri Mahmoud, a spokesman for the People's Protection Units (YPG), confirmed that the SDF, which ranges between 70-100k fighters, may be part of the new "Syrian army" after reaching a comprehensive political solution to the Syria crisis. >Nuri Mahmoud: The liberation of Afrin is a strategic goal for the SDF. The fall of the city in the hands of the Turkish occupation was not yet a military defeat as much as it was an international diplomatic deal. https://twitter.com/RojavaNetwork/status/1362873644997828616 Bogus numbers aside, interesting timing.
>>301841 >The Yemeni army and the popular committees are advancing towards the Al-Wadiah border crossing with Saudi Arabia east of Marib https://twitter.com/uunionnews/status/1362870917907505157 For now let's put an (x) on them advancing that far today, but the reports from the al-Alam/Ruwayq front are sounding damn good.
>>301852 >did they take marib dam? isw is claming it, but i cant belive it Nah, they probably misunderstood the reports of the houthis reaching the dam reservoir.
Afghan Shitmupdate Major correction to the situation in Panjwayi area to the immediate west of Kandahar city Taliban offensive in Sholgara of Balkh, Taliban seize Minar in Khash rod of Nimruz, Basharan to the north of Lashkargah in Helmand is contested, Taliban take Surkh Ab in Mohammed Agha area of Loga (no shitmap frontline change though lol) and substantial Taliban offensive to the west of Qarabagh DHQ in Ghazni.
>>301948 There was also this report a short while after i went to sleep: >Houthi forces take control of the Hisn Mutawil (Mutawil fortress) and Arak. https://twitter.com/MohamadAlmorady/status/1363363242786045953 Can't find the Hisn/Fortress and (x) on any gains report right now.
>>301978 >Houthi forces control Hisn Mutawal and Arak in Wadi Dhanah today, Sunday, southeast of Sirwah >This was after Major General Abdul Qawi Sharif (Governor of Sana'a in the Hadi government) brought soldiers to Bani Dabyan and attacked the Houthi forces >The houthis considered it to be a breach of the agreement signed between them and the sheikhs of Bani Dabyan, which stipulates ensuring that the soldiers of both sides do not enter their area >The battles lasted for hours this morning and the houthis forced Sharif's forces to retreat and leave the areas of Bani Dabyan. https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1363526664215531527
>>302117 I can't find many clearly defined defensive positions in this mountainous region between the river (Wadi Dhana) and the Jubah-Marib road making me think it's part of the neutral Bani Dabyan tribal region. Presumably the mountain range (brown line) could be used defensively by pro-Hadi forces but it cannot be crossed directly with vehicles (white lines=usable roads). Methinks they won't put up much of a fight, if any and instead relegate themselves to the vicinity of the Jubah-Marib road. If the houthis commit to advancing in this region, Jabal Murad could be in big doo-doo.
>>302121 >If the houthis commit to advancing in this region, Jabal Murad could be in big doo-doo Speaking of Jabal Murad, whatever happened to the supposedly massive houthi reinforcements down there? All I've seen has been reports of skirmishes and failed infiltration attempts. It's a gargantuan stretch for sure, but what if all the ruckus north and west of Marib city is a ruse?
Every time I check in on Ethiopia it's just more massacre videos, peak African warfare, I've seen basically nothing of the fighting in comparison.
>>302122 My assumption at this point is that the bothering in that area was the distraction to draw some attention away from the northern meatgrinder, I know there were small reports at the beginning but my understanding is that the area can't possibly be defended heavily enough that if they wanted to take it and utilised their resources they couldn't. I'm not really sure that all this advancing to the south of the dam is going to lead to anything on its own, Jabal al Balaq al Qibli seemed like a really big move but as I understand they lost it. I guess we will see which direction Ma'rib falls from but right now i'm not seeing it, everything seems possible.
Afghan Shitmupdate Corrections: Issued a mix of gains/corrections in the area to the west of Jalrez DHQ in Wardak Gains: Taliban contest Bauhaddin near Moqor DHQ in Ghazni, capture a string of villages to the west of besieged Jalrez DHQ in Wardak, and contest Afghanyah in central Kapisa.
>>302140 >Jabal Murad was the distraction Aye, i figured so aswell but now I'm not sure. >Jabal Murad can't possibly be defended heavily enough that if they wanted to take it and utilised their resources they couldn't You're absolutely correct, but there are other ways to win that doesn't involve such savagery. >Jabal al Balaq al Qibli seemed like a really big move but as I understand they lost it If you ask me they never captured it.
Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate Corrections: issued large correction for Pashtun Zarghun District in Herat, issued corrections for Angur Ada (which is basically a part of Pakistan by now) and for Gomal and Urgun Districts in Paktia, Gains: Taliban cut the road between Herat and Pashtun Zarghun, take over Afghanyeh in Kapisa and definitively cut the road between Tagab and Mahmud-e Raqi, and take over Arghistan DHQ in Kandahar. ANA recaptures Gandamak and Tolo villages in Sherzad District.

Supposedly a pic of Marib taken from Jabal Balaq al-Qibli by houthis tonight. It's not showing up on image search and it does indeed look like Marib so it seems legit!
>Reuters: Senior US officials meet with Houthi officials in the Sultanate of Oman. >US officials urge the Houthis to hold talks with Saudi Arabia and stop the attack on Marib. https://twitter.com/S4MOSABI/status/1367122989272170512 I haven't been able to follow the news too well lately, but i reckon the slow-down on the Marib front is connected to this meeting.
Russia hit another DIY oil refinery in TFSA territory n/w of Manbij. Lots of juicy videos of the explosions and aftermath: https://twitter.com/NotWoofers/status/1367872077924077568 Ironic that T*rkey allows their proxies trading with SDF.

Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate Corrections: Corrected the situation in Deh Rahwod District of Uruzgan and Nesh + Miyaneshin Districts of Kandahar, corrected situation in Manogay and Watapur Districts of Kunar. Gains: Taliban take over the ANA garrison in Bala Murghab, take over Jawand (since no news from Jawand in a long time), and Muqur DHQs in Baghdis. In Zabul they took over Shamulzayi, and remainders of Atghar, Now Bahar, Mizan, Daychopan, and Arghandab Districts at the heels of ANA withdrawal towards the provincial capital. In Nangarhar, Taliban squeeze in on Sherzad DHQ. ANA recaptures Bolan on the western outskirts of Lashkargah in Helmand.
>>303536 What am i looking for? Just a side note: Suriyak is a decent mapper, not a source. He trust his sources a tad bit too much and the conviction in his own guess-work he showcases when posting gets tiresome after the Ωth time he's proven wrong.
>>303578 Fair enough, I was posting it for you to see more sources in case Wikipedia was picking up stuff you somehow missed is all. Also apparently the two sides in Libya made peace and agreed to a unity government pending general elections in December.
>>303603 Ah, i see, it doesn't seem like a 100% unipolar crowd doing the edits aswell. Neato. I'll try to keep up but if i'm slacking off or miss anything you'd like my opinion on, hit me up brudda
>>303648 Hadi forces are scoring some gains against the mountainous salient south-west of Taiz city. There's potential this could lead to a collapse of the salient and even an attempt to control the Mocha-Taiz highway, but for now it's a diversion that the houthis can afford to ignore if they score a victory in Marib. Taiz city is not going anywhere and the houthis definitely have a trap or two waiting to be executed a la Nihm. There are daily reports of clashes, airstrikes and missile strikes in Marib but nothing worth batting an eye over lately.
Yemen Shitmupdate Corrected Hajjah situation (in reality only like one hamlet got added and it's barely visible) Hadi forces squeeze the Houthi salient SW of Ta'izz.
Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate Corrections: Corrected Almar situation in Faryab, corrected Qadis in Baghdis, corrected Lashkargah in Helmand Gains: Taliban takes over Almar District, clashes in Ghoriyan DHQ in western Herat, Taliban takes over Howz e Madad in Zhari District of Kandahar and cut the road.
>Taiz: Houthi forces regain control of the Daraf, Al-Arf and Ghobari Mountains, to the west of the Maqbana front, a day after they were liberated by Hadi's forces https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1370849781573124096 >>303766 Failed spectacularly lmao
https://youtube.com/watch?v=LF6TzIldOIg Footage from the failed attack in Taiz. If they weren’t trying to waste their own time they would be going after Harad again, but all of this is just silly, they can snip at the extrusions of the Houthi rosebush all they want, anything they have there is only stuff they don’t have defending Ma’rib.
Up or down on two months for Ma’rib is the question right now.
Oo boyo, the true frontline west of Marib might be on the cusp of being revealed (reports of gains on the eastern slopes of Jabal Haylan). Will go more in depth when i get home, these reports got me real excited again.
>>303926 >>303951 >>304105 If you ask me, this is the approximate situation on the west Marib frontline: Red = Pre-offensive houthi frontlines Black = Pre-offensive Hadi frontlines White = Current Hadi frontline. I can add the names of the relevant hills and mountaintops on the maps if anyone is interested. Just like every mapper currently trying to pinpoint the locations i have no evidence (i bet you nobody doing maps on twitter knows this), but after weeks of trying to connect the dots i'm convinced that the houthis haven't successfully advanced below the eastern slopes of Jabal Haylan until these last few days. Summa summarum, i am excited because this recent advance could enable flanking maneuvers to the north/east of Talat al-Hamra and to the south/west of Jabal Dushsh al Khashar. (See arrows in third pic for reference).
>>304057 >anything they have there is only stuff they don’t have defending Ma’rib The Saudi puppets are definitely not lacking manpower and equipment in Marib. Tactical prowess and brave men is what they need but that's something they lack on all fronts. >Up or down on two months for Ma’rib is the question right now. The latest reports are promising, but yeah, i agree with this assessment.
HTS couldn't control the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, so Julani ordered his operatives to shrink it and smuggle it to Idlib. Mashallah, the clever mujahid even installed it on a sophisticated mobile platform to showcase it before transporting it to the humble presidential complex in Ankara.
>>304171 do you know if there is a newer documentary about the houthis like Fronline from PBS or Rise of the Houthis from BBC? i imagine saudis are not leting filmakers to enter houthi controlled territory
>>304181 >do you know if there is a newer documentary about the houthis like Fronline from PBS or Rise of the Houthis from BBC? A good question, i tried finding fresh stuff not too long ago but i'll check. >i imagine saudis are not leting filmakers to enter houthi controlled territory Yeah, i doubt there has been many western MSM crews doing much in Houthi territory lately but using local filmmakers is not unheard of.
>>304188 > Yeah, i doubt there has been many western MSM crews doing much in Houthi territory lately The last thing I really remember was that really neat article by I think some Germans, who were smuggled in. Security is still tight I assume, but i'm sure they would love more visitors. Not sure where that article is now but I have a great quote from it.
> The Minister of Tourism has a joke to tell us about the UN. A very good joke, according to Mohammed. To be precise, it's about Martin Griffiths, the UN negotiator that's working tirelessly for a peace deal for Yemen. He says that all parties in Yemen want peace, particularly the Houthis. As if anyone in Sanaa would take a man like that from the UN seriously. No, it's crystal clear to the Minister of Tourism: Martin Griffiths is visiting Yemen with a different agenda. "He's the last tourist in Yemen."
>>304200 It is relatively speaking but journalists don't want to put in the effort. The Germans got there by being driven through some checkpoints dressed in garb not talking and pretending they were ladies if I remember correctly.
>>304171 >Lieutenant General / Saghir bin Aziz remains one of the last honorable pro-Hadi military leaders >He acknowledges the progress of Sana'a forces in Al-Mashjah, east of (Jabal) Hailan, with the aim of cutting the supply lines forcing the Hadi troops to evacuate their frontline fortifications https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1373356608567308292 >Close-quarters combat have taken place today https://twitter.com/0___5____0/status/1373412197951492101 >This morning, Sana'a forces managed to capture a number of Hadi forces soldiers, including military leaders holding the ranks of brigadier-colonel, after they were besieged west of Aydat Al-Ra'a, west of the city of Marib. https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1373399229339602947 >Marib: 16 prisoners, including leaders of the National Army, fell into the hands of the Houthis after 9 hours of siege without the arrival of reinforcements. https://twitter.com/S4MOSABI/status/1373417770428301316 >The amount of weapons and equipment left behind by the National Army in Marib, Hailan and Tabab al-Barrah fronts, is sufficient for the Houthis for a full year of war https://twitter.com/0___5____0/status/1373384528023146502
>>304171 Video filmed in the Suwayda IDP camp northwest of Marib city showing something has impacted directly in the northern section of the camp: https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1374054549225365509 There has been alot of kvetching lately about anti-Houthi fighters using these civilian tent camps as human shields so i'm gonna go ahead and assume that the houthis were the ones firing into the camp. This coupled with a video from a couple days ago (houthis having full control of the paved road between Kassara-Nakhla) leads me to believe that Jabal Dushsh al-Haqn is still contested (Houthis controlling western and northern slopes, Hadis controlling eastern and southern slopes). Third pic included is my interpretation (bear in mind i do not think that's where Malbudah really is), exact situation in the mountainous terrain north, northeast and west of the camp is still a mystery.
Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate Corrections: corrected Dashti Qala and Rostaq in Takhar, corrected south, east, and central Baghlan as well as Warsaj in Takhar due to lack of Taliban activity there Gains: Kabul forces attack Alipour's forces in Bihsud District. Taliban takes over Bagh-e Shamal to the immediate west of Puli Khumri in Baghlan, and launch a major offensive in southern Logar taking Charkh District and besieging Kharwar DHQ as well as sweeping up most of southern Logar.
Video proves Anti-Houthi mercenaries still control Suwayda IDP camp https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1374507100974374913 [Embed] Red = 100% Houthi controlled part of the Marib-Nihm road White = 100% Hadi controlled part Grey = Contested, without it Hadis would have no dirt roads to the defensive positions on Dushsh al-Haqn (dirt roads at arrows weren't there until between September-October last year). Orange = 100% Houthi controlled dirt roads Black = Earth barrier constructed at the same time as the grey dirt roads, contested Regarding Dushsh al-Haqn, the peak is under Houthi fire control (red road is secure thanks to artillery positioned on Jabal Haylan having a direct line of fire). The eastern slopes are loosely under Hadi control or at the very least under fire control from the IDP camp and Jabal Dushsh al Khashar.
>>304499 Hilltops and mountains on the Nakhla/Dushsh/east Haylan frontlines which have been further fortified by pro-Hadi forces this year. That's not to say they are all still under Hadi control, but it's important to keep this in mind when trying to understand the frontlines.
I don't know why I bother reading any news articles about Yemen, they never tell me anything new and I feel as though i'm about to get krumped whenever I read the same fucking AP paragraph summary of the war.
>>304528 ATGM strike on the same stretch of road: https://twitter.com/Yem_army_media/status/1375112589584297984 On the bright side, driving this far forward they have to control the peak of Jabal Dushsh al-Haqn (+ the final dirt road leading up it) and be real damn close to the IDP camps.
>>304768 >Initial news reports that Houthi forces have taken control of Humat Al Hamra, overlooking the displaced persons camp, in the Aydat Alraa area, west of the city of Marib. >The local authority must allow the evacuation of the IDP camps in Aydat Al-Raa and Al-Sweida, west of the city of Marib, and keep them away from the confrontation line. https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1376240756906680325
Looks like Ukraine is about to happen, Russia sending heavy shit to Donbass border (S-300V4 spotted in Rostov-on-Don) and this on the bridge to Crimea: https://twitter.com/neccamc1/status/1377346018862227457 Since the hohols got their hands on TB2 drones, here's to seeing roaches screeching about ukrop incompetence when they start dropping.
Lots of reports today claiming the houthis have advanced west of Marib (no locations reported by reputable sources) and now even Ali Thibh tweeted the same thing Big gains news very soon https://twitter.com/ali_thibh/status/1377380362314190859
>>304968 That Ukrainian Jew is going to fuck up everything, if something is going to happen it will probably be before the Nord Stream finishes, they haven't been building that military for fun, they want to play chicken with the Russians.
>>304990 >Nord Stream Trying to guilt Germany into putting it on ice (by forcing Russia to show their hand in hoholstan) or what? Perhaps, but in my opinion Ukraine is simply trying to emulate the Nagorno-Karabakh takeover in Donbass with roach drones. Regaining industrial facilities, the border (theoretically forcing Russia to officially declare war if they feel like waltzing into Donbass after the border is secure) and of course scoring a political victory for the current globohomo puppet regime in Kiev.
>>305046 >After violent and continuous battles, a number of tababs fell on the Al-Mashjah front in the hands of the Houthis. https://twitter.com/S4MOSABI/status/1377598394894536710 A tabab is basically a volcanic hill as far as i have understood. >The coming hours are decisive, in which the enemy lines may recede to the Tabab Al-Masari https://twitter.com/sadeghalhusaini/status/1377570770843471877 Since there's no footage yet or info online about the names of these hills, take my map with a grain of salt.
>>305045 >Trying to guilt Germany into putting it on ice (by forcing Russia to show their hand in hoholstan) or what? Obviously I don't think the whole thing is orchestrated to achieve that end, but I suspect a happy coincidence of any soon to be conflict will be a large amount on international pressure put up to cancel that pipeline. One hand washes the other. Ukraine is banking on Russia bluffing to get back those resources, not even they would dispute their position were Russia to take serious actions. The problem will be that I don't think the Russians are bluffing at all. I am very spooked, I think that the only way war doesn't happen at this point is the Ukrainians realising and chickening out, and I think if something is going to happen it will be before the pipeline finishes in a few months.
Afghan Shitmupdate and Districtmupdate Corrections: Corrected situation in north, east, and south of Herat. Corrected situation in north and west of Ghor. Corrected situation near Qala e Naw in Baghdis. Corrected Faryab situation. Made Districtmap more consistent with the Shitmap.

Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate Corrections: Minor corrections here and there Gains: Taliban besiege Sozma Qala DHQ in Sar-e Pol, Qarabagh DHQ in Ghazni, and Islam Qala in Herat after overrunning Ghoriyan and Kohsan Districts in Herat. Clashes between ANA and Taliban reported on Day Mirdad-Bihsud border in Wardak. ANA pushes Taliban away from the western Arghandab bank to the immediate NW of Kandahar City.
>>306373 It would certainly be a pain in the ass to keep any supplies going, good leg exercise I suppose. Anyway I had it filed away in my head along with all the other especially hellish looking defensive positions but I don't think I ever really took a good look at it.

What i can say for sure based on the footage, is that the peak of Mashjah is under Houthi control but the two dirt roads leading up to it is still under Hadi fire control. Really though, knowing that the anti-Houthi forces are so incompetent as to lose that peak, it shouldn't be long before they lose their remaining defensive lines.
>>307270 Game over. The Saudis have thrown in the towel on their aspirations to reach Sanaa for good, but i wonder how determined they and the arab coalition are to prevent a re-re-unification of Yemen... We'll probably be looking at a north vs south Yemen like it was before the unification in 1990 if UAE and KSA cooperates... and if so, better hope they aren't mad enough to seize Hudaydah...
>The Houthi forces are pushing reinforcements from the Nati & Al-Bayda fronts and the southern Marib axis (Jabal Murad front), taking advantage of the Bayhan al-Murabit axis on the Nati front, and Hadi's forces in the Murad axis have sent reinforcements to the fighting axes west of the city of Marib https://twitter.com/aalnaasi/status/1386424608069279744 Not sure what or where Murabit is, but if there's validity in this report the madlads might be planning to waltz into Bayhan and cut the Marib-Ataq road there.
Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate Taliban takes two towns near Shajoy in NE Zabul, seize Arzu and another hamlet to the south of Ghazni, close in on Gardez and take over FOB Zurmate in Paktia, close in on Puli Khumri from the north in Baghlan. Corrected situation in Lal Wa Sarjangal Updated Districtmap to be more consistent.
Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate Gains: Taliban surround Gelan, Moqor, Ab Band, Dih Yak, and Jaghatu DHQs in Ghazni; Take control of Dahla Dam in Shah Wali Kot District in Kandahar and take over Western Maywand including besieging the DHQ, and close in on Zhari DHQ. In western Herat, Taliban enter Obe DHQ with ongoing clashes, and take over Khost Wa Fereng District in eastern Baghlan. I updated the Districtmap to add pressure markers on DHQs and Capitals. For the best examples, check out Puli Khumri and Ghazni cities.
