November 25th, 2023. Hostages exchanged as the world looks on; relieved people are free but also conscious of psychological trauma that will now be constant features of their lives, yes, some more than others, but these people have suffered from being held captives for almost 50 days. They will also experience the trauma of those dear to them who have been murdered/wounded by the those who captured and retained those who became hostages from that awful 7th October 2023. Digging down into the Clash of Civilisations as put forward by Samuel Huntington in his book in 1996 (just after the end of the Cold War) we gain perspective of what is driving these wars and how they can be stopped.

Enter Russia to world stage … Putin has had a good relationship with Israel. He uses the opportunity to hone in on the US; their intrusion into the affairs of other countries. Putin must use whatever opportunities he can hence now they report on Israeli counter war against the Palestinians.

Frontline | The War in Ukraine and Global Security Five months on from Prigozhin’s infamous march on Moscow, Putin is facing further threats to his regime. This time, he might not be able to prevent them, says Mark Galeotti.

Quotations: Authoritarianism

Modern authoritarianism, as it’s growing inside Europe and now coming to the United States, rests much more on the use of power to protect the guilty than to persecute the innocent. And its motive is not crazy totalitarian utopianism, it’s motive is repressive kleptocracy. To steal and to use the powers of the state to protect theft.

David Frum

As one might expect, authoritarianism will at times cause children and students to adopt rebellious positions, defiant of any limit, discipline, or authority. But it will also lead to apathy, excessive obedience, uncritical conformity, lack of resistance against authoritarian discourse, self-abnegation, and fear of freedom.
