On this episode, GloboidTV and RedArmyCapybara discuss important news from around the world, including a new one-kilometre land bridge over the Tumen River connecting the DPRK and Russia. Various updates from the Axis of Resistance, including the US war with Iran, and the struggle of Yemen's Ansarallah against Saudi PLC forces. They also review a new poll, which found that nearly half of Americans think that post-9/11 military operations and increased domestic surveillance were worth the cost.
The comrades also discuss China-Burkina Faso relations as well as the new US oil deal with Venezuela, and the implications of these on the geopolitical struggle against US hegemony.

2) Axis of Resistance updates from Middle East Spectator: https://t.me/Middle_East_Spectator
- "Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Councill (PLC) forces have started an offensive in Yemen’s Al-Jawf Governorate. The offensive has seen some initial successes, with two camps being captured by the PLC forces. The Houthi-controlled capital of Al-Jawf Governorate, Al-Hazm, is now under threat of being captured.” [My note]: According to Yemeni sources, Ansarallah forces are holding defensive positions and have destroyed their fair share of PLC troop concentrations, supply hubs, and facilities in Saudi Arabia.

- Iraqi Resistance gives US military a deadline with withdraw from Iraq:
“Sheikh Akram Al-Kaabi, the Secretary General of the Nujabaa Resistance Movement, one of the largest factions of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, warns that it will engage in a ‘decisive battle with the occupying forces’ if the U.S. military does not withdraw from Iraq by the September 30th deadline. He stated: ‘If even a single soldier remains after this date, we will not let him return safely; we will send him back to America as a lifeless corpse.”
- Israel clears Hezbollah from Ali Taher Complex:
“There are some indications that while the main underground sections of Ali Taher complex have been cleared, the hill still retains a Hezbollah presence. Intermittent Israeli airstrikes against ridges and bushy areas are not just paranoia, Hezbollah's fighters have likely left behind a substantial amount of boobytraps & some hidden soldiers.”

https://burkina24.com/2026/09/07/cooperation-burkina-faso-chine-vers-un-soutien-accru-a-la-production-nationale/
- Burkina Faso and China discussed expanding cooperation in agriculture, health, defense, and technology, with a focus on strengthening domestic production. Burkina Faso's Prime Minister said Burkina Faso wants more Chinese machinery, technology transfers, and training to help produce and process its own goods rather than depend on imports.
- The goal is to move beyond one-off aid, particularly food assistance, and build local production capacity so Burkina Faso can process its own raw materials, become more self-reliant, and gradually reduce its dependence on external sources. China said it would support this development approach, while the article highlighted the Chinese-supported Pala University Hospital as an example of their cooperation.
5) Venezuela says it retains ‘sovereignty’ following US oil deal
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2026/8/30/venezuela-says-it-retains-sovereignty-following-us-oil-deal
- Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodríguez says a new oil deal with the US will preserve the country’s sovereignty while bringing in foreign investment and technology. The 25-year agreement would give US and other foreign companies rights to develop 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil, with 17 oilfields initially targeting 1.5 million barrels per day.
- Under the deal, Venezuela would receive $19 per barrel sold to the US, which Rodríguez estimates could generate up to $209 billion a year, depending on oil prices. The plan is intended to revive Venezuela’s oil industry
