"“A whole #civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
These are the utterances of a man casting about for an act of sufficient magnitude to substitute for the coherent strategy he never bothered to contemplate. The trajectory they trace — from rhetorical escalation to intensified bombardment to potentially something indiscriminate or far worse — deserves a degree of serious #examination that major #media outlets are just beginning to realize. Understanding that trajectory requires grasping, above all, the particular #trap into which American power has #sleepwalked.

A leader who entered a #war he did not understand, in pursuit of objectives he had not reconciled, and who now confronts a situation in which every available #exit diminishes the political #narrative he has staked his #identity on, is a genuinely #dangerous figure to place at the apex of #nuclear decision-making."

The Guardian

I don't know the history of this journalist and I'm too far removed to comment.

But, I think this one thing she said in her commentary should be the guiding beacon for all journalists out there.

Your job, as a journalist, is not to pick between left and right, but pick between truth and lies.

Your job is to deliver the truth to the public, which is very busy doing its own thing and relies on you to keep a check on the administration.
