Well... this started as a news "brief", honest.
But deeper analysis was called for when I went a-sourcing a few claims. The problem with this week's failed ceasefire resolution is the error it continues to represent:
We keep acting like words can bypass the incredibly challenging factors shaping power in war.
So today's piece explores the lack of practical alternatives, regional instability, the challenge of courageous restraint, and more reasons suffering will go on.

@MLClark Excellent!
Oh, thank you for sitting with it. Honestly, the only thing getting me through some of the hardest parts of this era is knowing we're all bearing witness to the awfulness *together*, as best we can. 🫂
