On a different note, A LOT of countries are going to start spending a lot more money on defence. Building weapons. How do we feel about that? I don’t know.

Values based realism. Principled and pragmatic. This is what Canada’s PM talked about as the future of geopolitical alliances. We are in such a moment - a reshaping of the world as we know it.

Anyone who believes in civilian self-determination should pay attention to Sudan, writes Yassmin Abdel-Magied Not only because of the scale of the horror, but because the inaction of the international community tells despots around the globe that it is acceptable.
Sudan’s story is far from a tragedy
The country’s revolution was a successful and nonviolent democratic uprising. The west should remember that

Sudan’s war is not “nihilistic” chaos, nor is it a “civil conflict”, writes Yassmin Abdel-Magied This is a war against civilians, punishment for the people’s audacity in standing up to the military regime—and the international community is enabling it.
