"Western social democracies are starting to feel more and more like these peripheral formations. The centre is shrinking and the periphery is actually expanding. There's something exceptional about the way that capitalism formed around the security of the nation-state."

Who ends up fighting in a war that isn't theirs, and how do they get there? The Kenyan government estimates that more than 1,000 Kenyans have been recruited to fight for Russia, many after responding to ads for civilian jobs.

As support for Palestine has grown around the world, another question has become increasingly urgent: what kind of solidarity is actually being built? As Yara Hawari puts it: “The level of global complicity is what makes Palestine central.” // @alshabaka.bsky.social

The question, past and present, is not whether the United States should infringe upon Mexican sovereignty, but how much, and how it should calibrate and determine the scale and form of said infringements.

As Brazil navigates trade disputes, geopolitical competition, and growing tensions over foreign influence, claims to national sovereignty have acquired renewed political force. Yet the material capacities required to sustain sovereignty have been steadily eroded over decades.

Mais um chefão do tráfico cai. As manchetes anunciam um grande avanço. Mas a história mostra que a remoção de um líder de cartel raramente enfraquece o tráfico de drogas — muitas vezes, ela o fragmenta, tornando a violência mais volátil e o poder mais disperso.

Another drug kingpin falls. Headlines announce a breakthrough. But history shows that removing a cartel leader rarely weakens the drug trade — it often fragments it, making violence more volatile and power more dispersed.
