The attack is “clearly intended to hide your criminal complicity in an ongoing genocide,” one group said.

    Maybe someone in the US foreign policy establishment will develop the ability to know right from wrong.

    It’s really self-selecting at this point. If you have any sort of soul, you study what they’re doing, get disgusted, and leave. Why would you take part in things like this?

      I studied International Affairs. The professors are like, “Whatever your views, ya gotta hand it to Kissinger.” You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Kissinger.

      By the way, I don’t want to discourage anyone from studying International Affairs (or International Relations or International Political Economy or whatever it is at your school). I’m very happy I did. Reading primary sources and writing papers is a good thing. And we have loads of transcripts of actual world leaders making decisions. At my college, we read both the declassified U.S. cabinet and Soviet side’s actual transcripts during the Cuban missile crisis and I wrote papers about avoiding war.

      I don’t regret studying it. Sometimes, something happens and I can predict it because I’ve read those primary sources. It’s a valuable skill. Peace is the goal.

    Just to note, all this happened on “social media” not - like, at the UN or anything. The picture is deliberately misleading.
