In Davos and beyond, NATO’s upbeat narrative plays like a broken record, while on the ground, Russia is stacking up wins that could sink the Atlantic order.
The US is groping in the dark about the Russian intentions in Ukraine. It keeps improvising and updating its narrative to cope with emergent realities that keep coming as nasty surprises.
Our ignorance of the costs of war is cultural and systemic. Our military certainly hasn’t proved eager to document civilian casualties in a reliable or consistent way. In fact, what the Pentagon has known about them was often actively suppressed.
With store shelves stripped of baby formula, families across the USA are getting desperate. It is actually a problem of monopoly capitalism – the formula industry in the United States, like so many others, is highly concentrated. And one of these monopolies has shut down – due to a bacterial infection.
“Either we drive the fossil fuel industry into extinction—or the human race.”
The war in Ukraine has already caused massive death and destruction some 13 million Ukrainians have been forced from their homes, and an estimated one-third of the country’s infrastructure has been destroyed.
Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico have legalized or decriminalized abortion. Could Chile be next?
Thank God, Russia eschews any triumphalism over the surrender of the so-called neo-Nazi Azov regiment in the Azovstal factory complex in Mariupol.
As we await with horror a possible Supreme Court-ordered end to the Roe v. Wade era, Rebecca Gordon reposted this piece in which, almost half a century later, she movingly comes to grips with her own abortion experience.
Russia is practising a warfare that the West is not used to — where wars aren’t won anymore. It is highly unlikely that there will be a ceremonial occasion bringing the Ukraine war to an end.
