The U.S. and Europe — the Brits in particular — are out of control and flouting international law as they carry out military strikes in Yemen, Syria and Iraq. The West claims it is an act of self-defense, but instead of killing or arresting specific individuals responsible for attacks, are engaged in collective punishment.

All of this was avoidable, but the U.S. and Britain have convinced their citizens that attacks on foreign countries without the b…

An earlier article in this blog (Thinking Outside the Box, by Observer R, January 7, 2024) discussed how the American Establishment has tended to keep following familiar ways of dealing with international issues, even when things were not going well at all.

The blue sky ideas are then refined into something more practical, but still a departure from the usual track. So, based on much current thinking,…
