Been difficult posting a roundup every week but somehow I’ve managed it for almost two years.
So let’s go for episode 100…
Unfortunately the military is still heavily sovietized
You can see that in uneven results and the failure last year.

Down the rabbit hole we go
A load of boomer nonsense about junior officers
Nope, the issue was that there was no distribution beyond the pier and the weather. Not boomer junior officer rants. He’s right about it being designed to plug into existing harbours behind wave guards. Always was a ridiculous idea. It did however provide some food and aid.
Have a listen, some good points. I called it a smoke screen and diversion, though it did do some good.
Generally, I’m not a fan of Jacobin writers. Somehow, Biden can make Netanyahu do anything he wants. I doubt Netanyahu can make Netanyahu do what he wants.
More war because Netanyahu needs war
On this edition of Parallax Views, Israel commentator Ori Goldberg joins me from Tel Aviv to discuss the rocket that hit a soccer field in the Druze village of Majdal Shams within the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel has blamed the attacked on a Hezbollah strike. Hezbollah denied being behind the attack. Speculation arose that it was actually due to a malfunction of Israel's Iron Dome. That said, there is evidence that this was likely a Hezbollah rocket. In any case, 12 Druze children perished due to the rocket. At the funeral for the dead children, members of the Druze community protested the presence of Israeli ministers. Meanwhile, a number of Israelis are turning "We Are All Druze Now" into a slogan as fears of a full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah grow.
Quiet ethnic cleansing in Europe
In September last year, an established community in a European country of hundreds of thousands of people was removed in its entirety after a devastating military campaign. This was not Ukraine, but the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh, which has now ceased to exist. To understand this and the dynamics of a little understood region including the complex interplay between Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh, all under the watchful and interfering Russian eye, it was a great pleasure to speak to Neil Hauer, a Canadian journalist based in the region for several years.
