My Opinion: Taco Supreme is trying to cosplay as Putin and "annex" California.
California is his Ukraine and he wants it, or at least the optics for the world and MAGA that he's big and tough. Plus CA is the biggest state that does damage to his political ambitions. He probably also considers Los Angeles is the entirety of California like a typical city-person.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
