Adventurism is solo acts with no organizational or community backing.
This was a community protest and that would be an act of self defense and community defense, not adventurism

Going after a union president is going to backfire in ways they were not anticipating I think
You did not answer the question. Should someone in the Iraq army in 2003 have fought against America?
Sure it does. Trump reviews covert CIA plan to destroy Nordstream in 2019-2020 but doesn't do it. Tells them not now. He does approve shipping weapons to Ukraine though, like the Javelins he loves to brag about. So he was involved with shady Ukraine shit in 2019 and 2020.
Then Biden gets in and as soon as the war heats up, he approves the plan the Trump declined.
CW: Police violence, implied gore
Forgive the reddit link but I can't find any other video of this. Youtube doesn't allow violence and none of the news sites are showing the video.
The president of SEIU California, the largest union in California, was assaulted and hospitalized by ICE while allegedly blocking their vehicle. He was also tazed. He's now being detained by ICE for allegedly "obstructing federal officers".
This is a pretty middle of the road Democratic Party loyalist trade union, but they are good on immigrant rights at least. Hope they, and other unions, will get more directly involved in the fight now.
WHERE'S THE DAMN SUBSIDIES TRUMP?
Oh right, the Epstein Files TM that Trump’s administration hyped up and released was just redacted versions of documents that were already public.
they aren't political parties in the way someone from a parliamentary system would be familiar with. The two parties of the US are actually just two privately held corporations in terms of their legal status. The leader of a party doesn't have to be anyone elected via democratically, they don't need to be "prime minister" as there is no such position, and generally the head of the party organization isn't that powerful really outside of it. The president (D) and senators (D) do not answer to the DNC chair, for example, on anything and rarely interacts with them except for meetings on internal party matters like funding allocation, fundraising, electoral matters, etc.
Musk could easily "own" his party, appoint people to run for positions, without needing to be a citizen.
It depends on the type of war and it’s aims, but generally decapitation strikes and high level hostages don’t resolve them when it comes to two nation states fighting. Nation states are not feudal kingdoms built on a single house, they are complex states composed of millions of people and an entrenched bureaucracy and patronage system. They are ruled not by a king but by an amorphous council of the bourgeois political elite. If one person dies, then move onto the next.
It may create momentary chaos, but that’s not always a good thing. Zelenskyy is predictable, he often does bold maneuvers that are strategically bad but good for short term PR. He meddles with his generals’ plans. Killing Zelesnkyy would surely prompt a strong escalation from the west as well, which Russia is trying to avoid.
So all this to say, yes Russia is slow walking it. They are trying to walk the tightrope of ending the war in a reasonable timeframe vs. not pushing too hard and starting WW3 by scaring the euros
Russia has been going incredibly methodically and slowly for this entire war, outside of their opening weeks bluff to force the Istanbul negotiations (where Ukraine Nazis killed its own negotiator who agreed to peace btw). They have been very light handed with the Ukrainian regime and left intact much of their infrastructure. Their goal is to minimize civilian casualties as well as damage to the infrastructure of captured territories, but also to minimize their own losses in personnel.
Russia’s civilian casualty : militant casualty ratio in this conflict is probably better than any conflict the USA has ever perpetrated. 30,000 civilian casualties : 700-900,000 militants, or around 1 civilian per 25 - 30 soldiers. They are fighting a conventional war, not an asymmetrical one.
For reference, in Vietnam the ratio was the other way around. With something like 3 million civilians killed and only 500,000 or so soldiers killed
So when a nation state is targeted by imperialists it should not resist? Those in Iraq, Libya and Syria should not have fought the invaders?
I posted about the attack on Huerta last night
