Geopolitics

this New York Magazine article is a remarkable exploration of how the international community’s expectations from the laws of war are changing. i have moralistic opinions on what i believe to be international law breaches, but those opinions are not the point of this cast. 

taking a step back, today i am thinking about what human values are losing hold with this war, and what that says about how future wars might be fought. i understand humanitarian law can go out of fashion whether i want it or not. absolute power tends to tell the story it wants (because dead people cannot).
