"If we cannot feel the death of a child in Iran with the same moral clarity as the death of a child in the United States, then something in us has been deformed. If our outrage is calibrated by passport, then our humanity has been nationalized.

"Faith communities — and anyone who still believes in a common human dignity — have a responsibility to resist selective compassion, to insist on names when systems prefer numbers, to refuse the comforting lie that 'complexity' absolves conscience."

A powerful article by Omar Suleiman, published by RNS on March 5.

When the bombs fall on other people’s children

If we cannot feel the death of an Iranian child with the same moral clarity as the death of a child in the United States, then something in us has been deformed.

Plead, hoard, steal: the desperate scramble for cooking gas in India

The smoke rising from Babitha Sivadasan’s kitchen in rural Kerala carries a scent that belongs to her grandmother’s era. “I have started cooking with firewood,” said Babitha, who began rationing her half-empty cooking gas cylinder after failing to secure a refill fro…

"How the Iran War Will Cause a Global Financial Crisis"

Even if the war in Iran ends soon — which is not likely — "the economic consequences will be devastating & prolonged."

US oil companies have made ~$80b from the increase in the price of oil. But if you're a maga blue-collar worker having to drive to a job in a gas guzzler, "then you're done. You can't make ends meet."

Report: Head of US National ⁠Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, has resigned ‌over the Iran war

“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran”, he wrote to Trump.

“Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, & it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel & its powerful American lobby.”

"This was a lie & is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war.”

Interview: Ground Invasion of Iran Could Be Suicide Mission for US

"From day two of this war, the Trump administration has not known what to do & how to get out of this".

"The people who drove [Trump] into this war pretty much expected this".

Netanyahu dragged the US into "what he hopes will be a decisive war of annihilation against Iran.”

Ground Invasion of Iran Could Be “Suicide Mission” for U.S.: Ex-Army Intelligence Analyst

We get an analysis of the Trump administration’s Iran war strategy from former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Harrison Mann. “From day two of this war, the Trump administration has not known what to do and how to get out of this,” says Mann, who resigned from the U.S. Army’s Defense Intelligence Agency in 2024 over the Biden administration’s policy in Gaza. As Trump is rumored to be eyeing the oil export hub of Kharg Island for seizure, Mann gives his assessment of a potential ground invasion of Iran. “Any attempt to seize this island would be close to a suicide mission,” he says. While U.S. leaders struggle to respond to Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on military bases in U.S.-allied Gulf states, Mann notes that “the people who drove [Trump] into this war pretty much expected this. I don’t think this is a surprise to Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio or Benjamin Netanyahu — who is very much getting what he wanted, which is dragging the U.S. into what he hopes will be a decisive war of annihilation against Iran.”

Democracy Now!

Israel’s assassination strikes are aimed at extending the war on Iran & preventing US withdrawal.

“The Israelis have an absolute interest in continuing this war, almost as long as possible."

"Netanyahu has fought for more than 25 years to get the US to go into a full-scale war with Iran."

They want to ensure Iran cannot pose any challenge to Israel's goal of being the dominant power in the ME.

As French Prime Minister Clemenceau said “war is too important to be left to military men.” However when the civilians leading the military are narcissistic sociopaths relying on their “feelings” this is an infinitely worse situation. #ETTD #NoKings #IranWar

Trump Follows His Gut. His National Security Advisers Try to Keep Up.

Decisions come fast, even if contradictions and inconsistencies abound. But without much of a process, there is little preparation for how things can go wrong.
