Iran strike

mardi 6 décembre 2022 à 10:17

*Iranian protesters call for three-day strike as pressure on regime builds.*

I would not be so quick to conclude that the repressive regime will fall soon. Repressive regimes have faced very strong protests and stayed in power.

UN war crimes resolution

mardi 6 décembre 2022 à 10:17

The UN is considering a resolution to prosecute Putin and other high officials for systematic war crimes by the Putin forces.

They deserve prosecution, but I think it would be a mistake to demand they surrender to prosecution. That would be, in effect, a decision to pursue regime change as a war goal.

That decision would have bad consequences for Ukraine, for the kidnapped Ukrainians, and for the Russian people as well. If Putin yields up all of Ukraine's territory, and returns the kidnapped Ukrainians, he will have had a defeat, not a victory. Those war aims are enough. If Putin is willing to give those, we should offer him peace.

To demand more than that would give him more reason to keep fighting instead of making peace.

The wrecker is an enemy of US democracy and freedom

mardi 6 décembre 2022 à 10:17

Two weeks ago, The wrecker publicly associated with a white nationalist and a Nazi, and thus took a clear stand against justice and equal rights.

Since then, he called for abolishing the US Constitution, and thus revealed himself indisputably as an enemy of US democracy and freedom.

Perhaps other Republican leaders, such as Governor Dementis, are less hostile to justice, equal rights, democracy and freedom. But I tend to think they are simply more circumspect.

US citizens: call on Congress to help families, not give tax cuts to corporations.
