"What We Lost in the Skies Above Tehran"
HENNING LAHMANN (@hlahmann.bsky.social) on Germany’s failure to uphold international law – and why it’s not the breach of international law that threatens normative stability, but how the international community responds.

I believe that we need to keep talking about what German leaders (and media) have been doing over the past 20 months, and we have an obligation to hold them accountable. My piece mostly concerns the attacks against Iran and not the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza, but ofc it’s all connected.
He certainly loves saying “derivative”, like, a lot (and can we already stop making this strained Frankfurt School connection? Habermas, whatever we might think of him these days, did not want to supervise him)

Palantir’s CEO is good with ICE and says he defends human rights. But will Israel and Trump ever go too far for him?

The key to a good academic paper is to open with “What’s up gamers”
Then move onto a webster’s dictionary definition of your topic.
And finally close with “but of course, I had the last laugh.”

As always. This is one of the problems of academic debate. We should ask more often “yes but WHY do you want to write something on this clear violation of the law?” My edgy opinion: the agenda and motives of academics are as important as the arguments.
Here’s a thought: Any legal analysis that goes deeper than a simple “the US administration’s attempts at justification are obviously blanket bullshit and the conduct is glaringly illegal and thus amounts to murder plain and simple“ is dangerous and damaging to the prohibition of the use of force.

Am 17. Oktober 1930 hielt Thomas Mann in der Berliner Alten Philharmonie in Kreuzberg angesichts des Erstarkens der NSDAP (18.3 Prozent bei der Reichstagswahl im September 1930) eine Rede: "Die deutsche Ansprache. Ein Appell an die Vernunft". Die SA störte durch Zwischenrufe und Tumult. 🧵
