Choices has helped and inspired many teachers and students. Choices helped promote active and informed citizenship. This is so sad and will be a big loss to history and social studies education in the US. The same goes for many teachers around the world who use Choices' curriculum materials.

Diplomacy can’t deliver the quick wins Trump craves. But neither can war In the Middle East, notions of victory are never simplistic. Mission creep, which has haunted America since the quagmire of Vietnam, is a clear and present danger.

Nick Bryant - 'Unpredictability is the watchword of Trump 2.0. There is, though, a known known. Wars are a lot easier to start than they are to end.' www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

Not surprising! But massively concerning that a major war has been started for one man's selfish interest. Surely, this president is acting outside the Constitution as well as international law. What lessons are China and drawing from this?

Senator David Shoebridge criticises Prime Minister Albanese for his comments on the US strike on Iran.

The IAEA and U.S. intelligence confirm Iran is not currently building nuclear weapons, despite high levels of uranium enrichment. Still, Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, a move critics now call a major mistake based on fear, not verified threat.

Clearly accurate.

A good summary.

This dangerous escalation from nuclear-armed Israel has undermined the prospects for successful talks on Iran’s nuclear programme and risks a broader war further threatening civilian lives.

MEDIA RELEASE: US attacks on nuclear sites are a dangerous escalation — Australia must not assist - ICAN Australia

ICAN Australia has released a response to the US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities saying
"This reckless action brings the world closer to nuclear disaster and underscores the urgent need to reject nuclear weapons and the cover they provide for military aggression."

Trump says US has attacked three nuclear sites in Iran President on Truth Social says US completed ‘very successful attack’ on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sites

This is horrific. Done on the whim of a president at the urging of Netanyahu and at the the urging of Mike Huckabee and Christian Zionists no doubt. This will serve to further unravel the fragile global order with unforeseen consequences. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is very helpful.
