“On March 13, speaking to reporters backstage at the 12th Global Baku Forum, Jeyhun Bayramov, Azerbaijan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, unexpectedly broke the news that Armenia and Azerbaijan had finally agreed to all 17 points of their framework agreement on the establishment of peace and interstate relations. This apparent breakthrough comes some four years after the negotiating process began in the wake of Azerbaijan’s victory in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War. While such diplomatic triumphs are to be applauded, especially as an alternative to continued threats of military violence, the devil is in the details. And the details leave much to be desired.” (03/17/25)

“The US is bombing Yemen again after Houthi leaders announced that their blockade on Israeli shipping would resume due to Israel’s siege on Gaza. Trump could have used Washington’s immense leverage over Israel to force Netanyahu to honor the ceasefire agreement and allow aid into Gaza. Instead he let the IDF lay siege to Gaza and started bombing Yemen for Israel, because he’s a warmongering Israel cuck. Trump is bombing Yemen for Israel, rushing weapons to Israel despite its flagrant ceasefire violations, and rolling out authoritarian measure after authoritarian measure to stop Americans from criticizing Israel. Because that’s what you get when you vote for America First.” (03/17/25)

“The decision to escalate against the Houthis is also more proof that the president prefers pointless hawkish policies most of the time. Intensifying the war in Yemen makes no sense for U.S. interests or regional stability. It will also guarantee that the Houthis resume attacks on commercial shipping after they had already stopped. The Houthis said that they would resume the Red Sea blockade in response to Israel’s ongoing starvation of Gaza, but they had not actually launched any attacks on commercial ships since the tenuous ceasefire took effect in January. The U.S. attacked them anyway, and now we can expect the attacks on shipping and U.S. vessels to begin again very soon. Trump has provided the Houthis with the perfect excuse to do the very thing that he demands that they must not do.” (03/16/25)

“While former convicted felon Hunter Biden enjoys a luxurious vacation in South Africa, with round-the-clock Secret Service protection paid for by the taxpayer, the first whistleblower to report Biden corruption is being brutalized in a Cyprus jail cell. Gal Luft, the Israeli-American professor who told the FBI in 2019 that Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden were paid millions by a Chinese company while Joe Biden was VP, has been in a bleak Cypriot jail for six months awaiting extradition over what he says are politically motivated charges carried over from the Biden Department of Justice. Luft was set to be a witness in the House Oversight Committee’s Biden corruption investigation but was arrested in Cyprus in February 2023, three weeks after Republicans took control. He had been secretly indicted on arms dealing and foreign agent violations three months earlier, exactly one week before the midterm elections.” (03/16/25)

“National borders have become deeply ingrained in many parts of the modern world. While some borders do change from time to time, many others — such as the Canada/US border — have been the same for decades and have come to be taken for granted. … But with Trump’s recent moves, people are waking up to the fact that we don’t need to accept the longstanding status quo borders that we’ve inherited. If everyone is on board, we can just change the map if we feel like it. The people who drew the existing lines aren’t in charge anymore; we are, and we have every right to draw different lines if we so choose. The question then arises: What kind of political borders should we want? What’s the ideal size of a country, and, conversely, how many countries should there be?” (03/16/25)

“If you’re not familiar with The Democratic party, this is a gang of increasingly superannuated fuddy-duddies whose response to a rampaging fascist nightmare led by a couple of billionairist tyrants (I won’t go through the usual litany but my god) is to protect at all costs the norms and rules that have already been burned to the ground, while making no effort to protect the Constitution or the hundreds of millions of human beings it safeguards, promising that what they’ve done is realistic and strategic, then napping over a long weekend. Some days some of them sell us out, other days others of them sell us out. There always appear to be just enough sellout votes to make sure that out is how we get sold.” (03/16/25)

“White supremacy remains a very potent weapon for the powerful in this country and I don’t think that the far left should stand alone in confronting it. Many of my more libertarian readers tend to cringe at such notions and I can’t completely blame them. Sadly, there are a good number of self-proclaimed leftists who use combatting white supremacy as an excuse for building up the state, but this doesn’t change the fact that traditionally white supremacy has been a far more lethal excuse to do the exact same thing, and it still is. It’s not even that the powerful in this country are necessarily racist, many are but for the most part bigotry is just an easy way to manipulate poor people into forfeiting their agency to authoritarian structures in the name of combatting other poor people.” (03/16/25)
