    The Road to Megiddo

    We were handcuffed, and a bandage was placed over our eyes so we could not see anything. Then the buses moved towards Palestine. Next to me was sitting an Egyptian named Gamal. He had nothing on his eyes, perhaps being Egyptian and a kind of courtesy to Egypt, which had …

    War as Terrorism

    Anyone who grew up in my generation of 1980s kids remembers G.I. Joe action figures — those green-uniformed plastic soldiers you could use to stage battles in the sandbox in your backyard or, for that matter, your bedroom. In those days, when imagery of bombed-out homes, bloodied civilians, and police …

    Πόσο επικίνδυνος μπορεί να γίνει ο στριμωγμένος Ερντογάν;

    Το συμπέρασμα που προκύπτει αβίαστα από την εαρινή μάζωξη της παγκόσμιας οικονομικής και πολιτικής ελίτ στο Νταβός είναι πως τα μαύρα σύννεφα που μαζεύονται στον οικονομικό ορίζοντα προμηνύουν όχι μόνο φρενάρισμα στην ανάπτυξη αλλά και ύφεση που μπορεί σε κάποιες χώρες να είναι ολιγόμηνη, σε κάποιες άλλες όμως, που είναι …

Vanha vitsi kertoo ihmisestä, joka toivottaa lentokoneeseen astuvalle turvallista matkaa: ”Lentäkää hitaasti ja matalalla.” Eurooppa jatkaa Saksan johdolla taiteilua Ukrainan avustamisen ja Venäjän rankaisemisen kanssa. Pitää avustaa Ukrainaa, mutta ei liikaa. Pitää rangaista Venäjää, mutta ei liikaa. Pitää eristää Venäjä, mutta …
