Recent hostilities involving Iran and Israel, alongside the longer-running cr

What Venezuela Actually Is About
On January 3, the US launched an attack on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro. While the legal assessment appears largely undisputed (see here, here, here; denying an armed attack, Safferling), the analysis of the factual background lacks clarity. US President Donald Trump publicly claimed that the

A quotation from Wendell Berry
If you know even as little history as I do, it is hard not to doubt the efficacy of modern war as a solution to any problem except that of retribution — the “justice” of exchanging one damage for another.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Essay (1999), “The Failure of War,” Citizenship Papers (2003)More about this quote: wist.info/berry-wendell/81766/

A quotation from Wendell Berry
If I solve my dispute with my neighbor by killing him, I have certainly solved the immediate dispute. If my neighbor was a scoundrel, then the world is no doubt better for his absence. But in killing my neighbor, though he may have been a terrible man who did not deserve to live, I have made myself a killer — and the life of my next neighbor is in greater peril than the life of the last.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
