It saddens me that Lula got in the way of Venezuela and Nicaragua's membership. Lula vetoed both countries.

Russian soldiers show DPRK pictures and flags in the front line. Very based!

Seems like some russian soldiers are teasing the ukranian with the DPRK flags near the recently liberated village of Tsukurino in the Pokrovsk direction.

Exactly this! If fascists have a strong support from the imperialist through extensive weapon manufacturing, they can outlast any guerrilla in the region unless the guerrilla have a strong backing from another power such as the case of the DPRK during the Korean war where Mao's son died or invasion of Vietnam.

If we take the conditions now, there are very few regions where the guerrilla can defeat the local capitalists. However, that is not the case for plenty of regions of this world(ex latin america).

Will that due respect, (at least in Latin America) it is not weakened enough to allow guerrilla warfare. As evidence of this, you can see the strategies of the SOUTHCOM in the region and how countries like Perú(with Dina Boluarte, which is a product of a coup), Ecuador(with the american citizen Daniel Noboa that is pushing to bring US troops into the country again), Argentina(Javier Milei) and Chile are constantly using the drug war as an excuse to oppress indigenous people with the aid of US dollars. Peru recently even bought new F-16 aircraft from the USA.

Once again, guerrilla warfare is not a good choice if the region's local capitalists are still experiencing a strong imperialist backing. If we use Mao as an example, he even made the choice to fight alongside the Kuomintang to repel the strong japanese imperialists that were storming the region. That's why it is important to analyze the principal contradiction and how to successfully resolve it with a pragmatic point of view.

Sadly, using the example of Latin America, fascists have perfected the counter insurgency tactics against guerrilla warfare with the aid of the USA which is the main country funding fascists dictators and/or bloody counter insurgency. From my standpoint, guerrilla tactics will only work where the US imperialism is the weakest(ex the Sahel).

Fortunately, the impact of removing the tax credits is very small or even unrecognizable. Also, Chinese EV manufacturing is already being done in Mexico with no issues whatsoever because the main market is Mexico for those EVs:

Isidoro Massri, director of JAC in Mexico, assured that the prices of its models will not be affected after the end of the tariff exemption, thanks to the final assembly of its vehicles in the country, which allows them to avoid those additional costs. “We have a plant that allows us not to pay tariffs. When the product is assembled locally under the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) process, in which the modules are imported from China and assembled here, acquiring a Mexican VIN, no tariffs are applied,” he explained in an interview.

Even if you check the EV market in Mexico, the Chinese EV are taking a big share and it is expanding with every passing day regardless of the pressure from the USA.

Wow, this is a cute romance. Would love to watch this as a movie 🫣

 

Israeli authorities have detained investigative journalist Jeremy Loffredo following his groundbreaking report that exposed extensive damage to Israeli military bases struck by Iranian missiles last week.

To prepare his report on the Israeli bases hit by Iran, Loffredo, an independent journalist based in New York City, traveled to the Israeli-occupied territories and documented several impact sites that had not been reported by Israeli authorities, including areas near the Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv.

On Wednesday, American journalist and filmmaker Max Blumenthal, the Grayzone editor, announced on his X account that Loffredo was among several journalists detained by Israeli authorities.

 

 

My question is in the context of imperialism and how the main contradiction turn socdem countries in the global south to align with the USA or BRICS

 
 

QUITO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa will seek changes to the constitution to allow foreign military bases to be established in the Andean country, he said on Monday via a post on X.

 

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Three Americans, two Spaniards and a Czech citizen were arrested Saturday after Venezuelan officials accused them of coming to the South American country to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro.

The arrest of the American citizens included a member of the Navy, who Cabello identified as Wilbert Joseph Castañeda Gomez. Cabello said that Gomez was a navy seal who had served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Colombia. Spain's embassy in Venezuela did not reply to a request for comment on the arrests of its citizens.

The U.S. State Department late Saturday confirmed the detention of a U.S. military member and said it was aware of “unconfirmed reports of two additional U.S. citizens detained in Venezuela.”

 

Surveillance video shows a man setting himself on fire outside the Israeli consulate in the US city of Boston, purportedly in protest of the regime’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The incident happened around 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, outside the Israeli consulate which is across from the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Boston.

There was a large police presence as investigators collected evidence and searched cars in the area on Thursday.

Witnesses described the scene as deeply upsetting. The person was taken to a local hospital for severe burns, but his current condition is unknown.

The person’s identity, motives, and condition are currently unknown. But his action is reminiscent of Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC in February 2024 to protest the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

 

The Yemeni army has successfully downed yet another American drone, marking a notable development in its struggle to support the Palestinians in Gaza amid the Israeli genocidal war.

 

The main UN aid agency operating in Gaza has said that members of its polio vaccination convoy in Gaza were held at gunpoint by Israeli forces at a military checkpoint and shots were fired.

UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric told reporters at a news briefing on Tuesday that the Israeli military had detained a convoy of international and local staff members from various UN bodies at gunpoint as they traveled to northern Gaza to help roll out the polio vaccination campaign.

 

I wanted more sources so I can read more details about this. From the economic perspective, I have the following source: https://www.scienceopen.com/hosted-document?doi=10.13169/worlrevipoliecon.11.4.0428

However, I am missing how the dictatorship of the proletariet works in this country.

 

CANBERRA, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Mobile phones are not linked to head cancers, a World Health Organization-commissioned review by Australian government scientists has concluded.

Researchers from the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) on Wednesday published the results of a systematic review into the potential health effects of radio wave exposure from mobile phones.

The review, commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO), analyzed the results of over 5,000 studies conducted between 1994 and 2022, and found that brain tumor rates have remained steady despite a widespread increase in mobile phone usage in the same period.

 

BEIJING, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- China's 62-day summer travel season has concluded, with the railways handling a record 887 million passenger trips between July 1 and Aug. 31, up 6.7 percent year on year, China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (China Railway) said Sunday.

During the period, the daily average number of passenger trips handled by the country's railways was 14.31 million, according to the company.
