I openly struggle with the American Empire. I find it a tiresome and arrogantly accosted mantle that was torn from the British after the Second World War. Our noble moment of leadership during the Suez Canal crisis, where we asserted that the British should not be entitled to the…
The supreme joy of having children, the existential thrill of raising them, the human dignity bestowed upon us by the always undeserved and unwavering love of a child—in short, each and every one of the most self-evident anthropological certainties are on their way to becoming catacomb truths, as unutterable…
The US might pressure him to assemble a government of national unity on pain of once again suspending military and intelligence aid if he refuses to dilute his power in lieu of holding elections.
