I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious, and sacrifice, and the expression in vain. We had heard them, sometimes standing in the rain almost out of earshot, so that only the shouted words came through, and had read them, on proclamations that were slapped up by billposters over other proclamations, now for a long time, and I had seen nothing sacred, and the sacrifices were like the stockyards in Chicago if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it.
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) American writer

Empty Seat: U.S. Absent as Western Powers Meet on #Wartime Protections for #Civilians
Three years ago, the #DefenseDepartment led an ambitious international effort to better protect civilians during #combat , a movement built on the bloody lessons of #Afghanistan and #Iraq.
The #Pentagon created a network with #European partners, driving the creation of shared standards. Civilian harm experts described the momentas a “unique opportunity” for American #leadership by example.
Today, those efforts continue — without the United States, after Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth dismantled the civilian protection mission.
And Thursday, no U.S. delegation will be in the room when the international forum the U.S. cofounded meets at #NATO headquarters in #Belgium.

Looking at the world's common problems I see posted here, they honestly feel too simple to be called problems. It gives a unique perspective.
How does your perception of 'crisis' change when it's literally a race against the dark?
