The US Attack on Iran and the Autocratizing West Governance by "you can just do things"

"Perhaps the clear lack of objective conceals a darker agenda: many experts believe that Israel and the United States would be satisfied with a ruined country fractured by civil war." (via @lilylynch.bsky.social) www.lilyslynch.com/p/the-us-att...

Lily Lynch, Confections — Sidecar On Sanna Marin’s memoir.

Lily Lynch (@lilylynch.bsky.social) on Sanna Marin’s memoir:

‘Throughout Hope in Action, Marin invokes ‘the collective’ – sometimes to illustrate the qualities of the Finnish soul, at others to give her lust for power an egalitarian sheen.’

Interesting to read "...the cocktail of heightened geopolitical tension, sudden acts of violence, intensifying ethno-nationalist rhetoric, and irresponsible politicians with large media platforms does warrant elevated concern."

A Bosnian-Serb commander convicted of aiding and abetting genocide at Srebrenica supports the UN resolution establishing an international day of remembrance for the victims of the 1995 massacre. "I committed an unthinkable and inadmissible criminal act... never again".
