Je lis toutefois vos posts et articles avec effarement et inquiétude. Et je suis assez convaincu de la volonté de Poutine de nous tester, autrement, prochainement.

mais j'ai tout de même un peu espoir que l'indifférence ne soit pas si marquée. L'inertie, l'apathie est assez générale sur bien des sujets (dont l'un qui m'a bien occupé) mais je crois qu'il y a aussi, chez certains, un constat d'impuissance personnelle.

What takes the most energy isn't living under bombs, losing people to war or even reporting on it. It is to see many people choosing not to see, not to be vocal about war crimes, & fool themselves into believing that Russia is genuine in negotiations — just so they can continue living a normal life.

It's terrifying to see how many people are unable to grasp the extent of the crimes Russia commits daily, how easily they hide behind 'both sides' narratives. It's like walking in a tick fog. It's terrifying to report on horrific news & be met with, 'But are you sure this war crime really happened?

In the public sphere, lines between 'both sides' have become alarmingly blurred. Yet nothing has changed: Russia still attacks Ukraine to expand its territory, murders prisoners, kills Ukrainian civilians, traffics Ukrainian children. Ukrainians are not being unreasonable for defending themselve.

I study a failed state for a living
The people who hold power aren't the ones with pieces of paper; they're the ones who can credibly organize the use of force
Outside of militias, ordinary people get what they want by striking or blocking important roads
