Not as a form of compassion.
As a form of argument.
The North Korean people are starving. The Iranian people are oppressed. The Venezuelan people are suffering. The Cuban people are poor.
The implicit conclusion, never quite stated, always c…

The Promethean myth is precise.
Prometheus did not create fire. Fire existed. The gods had it.
Prometheus took it and gave it to human beings and was chained to a rock and tortured for eternity for the transgression.
The transgression was not the fire.
The transgression was the redistribution of power.
The gods were not angry because fire was dangerous.
They were angry because fire, in human hands, meant humans…

It needs to be regrettable.
This is the crucial word. Regrettable. It performs enormous ideological work.
The bombing is regrettable. The civilian casualties are regrettable. The unintended consequences, the collateral damage, the unavoidable costs of a complex operation in a difficult environment, all of it, regrettable.
Regrettable means: we wish it…

It never means: the powerful did something and the less powerful responded.
It always means: the less powerful did something and we are now considering our options.
Israel bombs Gaza for seventeen years. Blockades it. Starves it. Controls its airspace, its coastline, its water.
That is called security management.

It does not look like a speech.
It does not look like a vote in a body that the opposing side controls.
It does not look like moral positioning that costs nothing and changes nothing.
At civilizational scale, resistance looks like:
A country absorbing every economic weapon the opposing side has and not collapsing.
A country build…

Russia, which is currently fighting the largest conventional land war in Europe since 1945, against a military supplied by more than fifty countries, funded by hundreds of billions in Western money, armed with the most sophisticated weapons NATO could transfer without triggering a formal Article 5 declaration.
Russia, which has absorbed more than twenty-three thousand targeted sanc…

Who kept Iran alive?
When the sanctions hit. When the oil revenues collapsed. When the currency crashed. When the spare parts for civilian aircraft stopped coming and Iranian planes started falling out of the sky. When the medical supply chains were disrupted and ordinary Iranians couldn't get cancer medication.
Who kept Iran economically viable?
China.
China bought Iranian oil…

The critique that Russia and China "stand for nothing" comes, in many cases, from a political tradition that loves resistance as an aesthetic and is less comfortable with resistance as a project.
Resistance as aesthetic is:
The speech.
The gesture.
The flag.
The recognition.
The statement of solidarity.
The vote at the United Nations.
Resistance as project is:
Buildin…

This needs to be said plainly because an enormous amount of intellectual energy has been spent, across centuries of imperial culture, teaching people that it is.
The soldier who refuses an illegal order is not weak.
He is exercising the only form of courage that actually costs something: the refusal to do harm when doing harm is easy, authorized, and expected.
The politician who says "t…

It is almost never taught as:
The moment the United States discovered what it felt like to have nuclear weapons pointed at it from nearby, which was the permanent reality of every Soviet city that had lived under American nuclear targeting from bases in Turkey, Italy, and Brit…

Muammar Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program in 2003.
He negotiated. He complied. He handed over the centrifuges and the documentation and accepted international inspectors and did everything the West said a responsible leader should do.
He believed the deal.
He believed that compliance would produce security.
In 2011, NATO bombed his country for seven months.
Hillary Clinton, upon hearing of his death, after he …

It means any capability that restructures the power relationship.

A state-owned bank outside the SWIFT system.
A satellite navigation system that doesn't depend on American GPS.
A currency arrangement that doesn't route through the dollar.

Each of these, in its domain, is the …

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
