I don’t think this concern is justified in most cases, but I’m not really in position to argue. If this were a common problem, I think I’d have heard about it, but outside of the occasional sensationalist news piece or Hollywood/TV thriller, I haven’t.
I do know an old joke, though: Before visiting a foreign country, it’s important to memorize three phrases in the local language:
I don’t know what a “treat monster nature” is. I haven’t traveled much outside the core, so I can’t speak to this first-hand, but my impression is that most of the world is mostly a safe place to visit. There aren’t a lot of places that are going to punish you for renting hotel rooms and eating at restaurants as an American. Most people around the world know how to distinguish between America the empire and a civilian American spending money into the local economy.
I don’t fully understand your question, and I doubt that I’m qualified to answer, because I have virtually every privilege, and I’ve never thought about international travel but from my own easy mode perspective.
You say “travel the world,” but where realistically will you travel? Westerners tend to travel almost exclusively to other imperial core countries and to popular tourist spots in the periphery that cater to imperial core tourists.
Yes? “Consciously” and “knowingly” would be synonyms in the context.
I don’t think these are analyses of Palestine & Ukraine outcomes, I think they’re doomer vibes. I don’t have a crystal ball, but Western Ukraine as a rump state seems like the most likely outcome.
China […] framing Washington as a disruptive force
Of course you’re not. Not understanding things is how you came to be racist and wrong in the first place.
This is the ideal tech worker. You may not like it, but this is what peak technology looks like.
I don’t think you understand what fascism is.
Counterpoint: knowingly taking risks is valid and sometimes even necessary.
Who knows what you mean by this vaguepost. Maybe you mean Russia isn’t communist even though literally no one thinks it is, or maybe you mean China isn’t communist because this article is from SCMP. You’re waware that Trump is even more bellicose w/r/t China than Biden or Harris, right?
I wasn’t being sarcastic; I genuinely believe you.
Cool. You’re not the only German who downvoted it then.
So what you’re saying is is that Russia has no agency
I didn’t say that Russia has no agency.
their invasion of Ukraine is NOT it imperial nature.
Russia, if given its druthers, would be imperialist, but since it presently doesn’t, it presently isn’t. Putin tried to join NATO once, to join the imperialist club, but that was rejected, because the US wanted Russia Balkanized & plundered instead. Russia has figured out it’s better off allying with Global South countries than attempting imperialist adventures upon them. And this war has accelerated that allyship.
In fact, they’re only seizing Ukrainian territory to add to their own, because of the United States. And that somehow negates any aspect of Russian imperialism.
If history started in February of 2022, you might think that.
.
Well that makes sense, because I know one thing about Russia, and that it’s definitely not a stitched together country of conquered and subjugated people’s.
If you want to dig up ancient history like this, then that describes just about every European country, so I’m not sure what your point is.
Edit to add: inb4 NATO is a defensive alliance.
US imperialism, for which Ukraine is a pawn. This is the proxy war that the US has wanted for decades, with the goal of regime change and/or the Balkanization of Russia.
Nawrocki spent 20 years in the Marine Corps before retiring in 2021, and was deployed on several missions to Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, and California.
Nawrocki, also known as “Fat Stacks” by his colleagues in the Marines, was a gunnery sergeant at the Marine Barracks Washington.
He died fighting for what he believed in, imperialism and fat stacks.
International Legion For the Defense of Ukraine
Families of fallen soldiers receive a compensation of 15 million UAH, which is approximately $400,000.
You get the standard pay of a Ukrainian soldier and it varies depending on the conditions of the service. Your payment will be in UAH currency to a local bank account. The approximate amount in USD is the following: $550 per/month behind the frontline, $1100 per/month for service in a dangerous zone, and up to $4800 per/month for combat deployment. Please note, that those numbers are just an approximation since exchange rates can change and also some roles and units receive additional bonuses.
