Teaching tomorrow. I love to revisit old articles, read many times, with new perspective. Another exciting laundry night, this time with Walt’s IMPORTANT and brilliant—but also seriously problematic—“I’m a PhD…wheee!” contribution to IR. Someone needs to tell him he’s a closeted Constructivist.

The year is 2026 and I have driven across town to use a fax machine to communicate with the IRS.

I wonder what will happen the first time Israel drops a bomb on Indonesian peacekeepers in Gaza? Indonesia doesn’t even recognize Israel as a country. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The European Parliament voted to approve a 90-billion-euro ($107 billion) loan to Ukraine, securing a large chunk of the country's budgetary and military needs for the next two years as Russia's war approaches its fourth anniversary.

America could end this war. Instead, we prefer to be manipulated and made to look like spineless fools by the Russians.

17th Century religious persecution and 20th Century flight from pre-war Europe *both sides drafted into the American Army/Navy and sent back to Europe to fight what they fled, twice.

Sometimes I think about the arc of history and how the US Embassy in Manilla became a Japanese HQ, and when we liberated it we tried the Japanese officers for war crimes in the ballroom and made it our embassy again. There’s always a day after. philhistoricsites.nhcp.gov.ph/registry_dat...
