Freeqo Talks about Macron's recent decision to have state schools teach French Juniors and Seniors in High School the history of independent Kurdistan. Not only does Macron teach them this, he also teaches them to cheer for the re-emergence of an independent Kurdistani state.
The Kurds are a complex entanglement in and of themselves, let alone the competing world powers in the region affecting the political fortunes of the Kurds in ALL of the four major regoins they find themselves in.

US sends troops, armoured vehicles to Syria to counter Russia – timesofindia.indiatimes.com
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/us-sends-troops-armoured-vehicles-to-syria-to-counter-russia/articleshow/78198357.cms
The US has deployed additional troops and armored vehicles into eastern Syria after a number of clashes with Russian forces, including a recent vehicle collision that injured four American service members.
Navy Captain. Bill Urban, spokesman for US Central Command, said the US has also sent in radar systems and increased fighter jet patrols over the region to better protect American and coalition forces. "The United States does not seek conflict with any other nation in Syria, but will defend Coalition forces if necessary," said Urban.
A senior US official said a half-dozen Bradley fighting vehicles and fewer than 100 additional troops were sent in to eastern Syria.

China to draw up a list aimed at punishing firms deemed harmful to its interests – www.businesstoday.in
https://www.businesstoday.in/current/world/china-to-draw-up-a-list-aimed-at-punishing-firms-deemed-harmful-to-its-interests/story/416501.html
China's commerce ministry on Saturday issued rules on its proposed list of "unreliable entities," part of an intensifying rift with the United States, saying it will target foreign firms and individuals endangering China's sovereignty and security. After President Donald Trump's administration imposed additional tariffs on Chinese goods and curbs on Huawei Technologies Co last year, China vowed to draw up a list aimed at punishing foreign firms deemed harmful to Chinese interests.
It has yet to publish the list. The United States said on Friday it will ban WeChat and video-sharing app TikTok from U.S. stores starting on Sunday night, a move that will block Americans from downloading the Chinese-owned platforms over concerns they pose a national security threat.
China's list will target foreign firms and individuals violating normal market transactions in China, interrupting deals with Chinese firms or taking discriminatory measures against Chinese firms, the ministry said. In May, state-run tabloid Global Times reported the measures would target such U.S. companies as Apple Inc, Cisco Systems Inc, Qualcomm Inc, while suspending purchases of Boeing Co airplanes.
Freeqo talks about consensual sjw versus non-consensual sjw as he also talks about the UN's recent accusation against the anarchistic feminist 'state.'
Rojava denies weaponizing electricity, after UN… – Rudaw Media Network – www.rudaw.net
Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES) authorities, known to Kurds as Rojava, deny having cut electricity from the Alouk pumping station in northern Syria as a weapon against pro-Turkey militia groups in the area, after a UN statement released Friday mentioned the allegations.
"We have provided electricity to Alouk station. The electricity normally goes to Sari Kani and Gire Spi towns as well but the [pro-Turkey] militants have damaged the lines so we cannot provide electricity to these towns. However, the line to Alouk Station is not harmed, so we have provided special electricity to the station,” NES spokesperson Lukman Ahmi told Rudaw English in a phone call.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/indonesians-caught-without-a-mask-forced-to-dig-graves-for-covid-19-victims-1.5109969
Villagers who refuse to wear masks are being forced to dig graves for victims of COVID-19 by local authorities in one part of rural Indonesia, in the hopes that a little bit of manual labour and empathy will convince others to do their part to help stop the pandemic.
Three middle-aged men and five minors in Cerme district of Gresik Regency, East Java, were given the unique punishment on September 9, authorities said.
Though mask-wearing is mandatory in public throughout Indonesia, there has been a vocal segment of the population that has been reluctant to wear masks and practice social distancing.
From All Africa
https://allafrica.com/view/group/main/main/id/00074892.html
The United States military is reportedly seeking permission from the Kenyan government to carry out covert drone strikes targeted at Al Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab fighters in parts of eastern Kenya. If approved, it would be a far-reaching proposal that would for the first time hand Washington military leeway to directly conduct combat operations within the Kenyan territory. American officials have told The Nation newspaper that "the U.S. would continue collaborating with Kenya on counter-terrorism measures, adding that hunting down the al-Qaeda-linked fighters will demand maximum effort." The militant group's activities have reportedly intensified in Kenya's coastal and northeastern regions, where it has deployed local recruits to extort money from civilians.

Universal Basic Income in Germany is about to go live as a lucky few Germans will have access to getting 1,200 Euros a month, no questions asked, no strings attached.
Universal Basic Income Trials Set For Germany – truththeory.com
https://truththeory.com/universal-basic-income-trials-set-for-germany-people-will-be-paid-1200-euros-per-month/
A German research team plans to hand out 1,200 Euros each month to 120 people in order to test out universal basic income in the country.
A universal basic income funded by the government is seen as one possible solution to compensate for jobs lost to technology.
The study is being carried out by the German Institute for Economic Research. It will last for three years and will be funded by private donations.
The 120 people who will be involved will have their attitudes and behaviors monitored by the researchers.
They will not have to account for how their money is spent.
