The security measures taken to protect it look very reassuring…

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

The belief that peace is around the corner with a provision that gives Ukraine a NATO-like guarantee is delusional so long as Russia has the upper hand. It can sustain this war for a long while.

It is not the first time it has claimed on attack. It claimed one several weeks back

I am happy to have contributed to an analysis of the rapidly deteriorating security situation in #Mali, especially the ever-tightening blockade of #Bamako by #JNIM with @ufsahelresearch.bsky.social. Read our analysis here: theconversation.com/jihadists-ha...

Genocides often accelerate as the perpetrators feel they are running out of time. As pressure mounts on Israel, the West continues supplying it with arms. Such is Western policy coherence.

Another reason they should have taken more principled stands

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

One of the scariest ideas is that Israel may accelerate its genocide to create a fait accompli in September, when the UK and other countries say they will recognize a Palestinian state if nothing changes - already far, far overdue.

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

I hope the University of Florida will now condemn this genocide, and sever all ties with Israel following the publications of two Israel human rights NGOs, one of which I spent time with in 2017, attesting that Israel is indeed committing genocide in the Gaza Strip. All other unis should follow.

Given Iran’s pathetic inability to do anything to defend itself, I would assume they are seriously reconsidering that fatwa on nuclear weapons

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

Some of these attacks look intended to facilitate regime change. I’m going to assume that is now the goal, or always was

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

Israel attacking Iran with full-force in the hopes Iran targets US troops?

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Another blow for realism, it seems. States do not prioritize their survival above all else, or seek to maximize power. Maybe they *should*, but the idea that they *do* isn’t the same. Clearly, cultural worldviews and even self-esteem are more important.

Trump seems to make major decisions right around the time Wall Street closes for the weekend. Eyes should also be kept on Iran’s talks with European leaders (Iran says it is merely “listening”)

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

He didn’t technically give the day and time. Just that he’d make a decision

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Three thoughts on possibilities of Trump's 2 week deadline: 1) Trump is trying to find an off-ramp 2) It's a ploy 3) Trump wants Israel to wear Iran down a bit more, before the US engages directly

More projection, instrumentalisation of the Holocaust

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Some really weird psychological projection going on in Israel. This could inform research for decades.

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Trump is looking as if he's wavering. Which way will he fall?

000

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Many Israelis now seem to be against strikes on hospitals… after theirs was hit. Yet any sympathy they might have enjoyed instead is met with Schadenfreude and derision in the face of such blatant hypocrisy. A world without international law and basic human rights norms is a very dangerous world.

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Trump says “nobody what I’m going to do.” I don’t even know if Trump knows what Trump is going to do.

How does Germany end up on the wrong side of history every damn time? Old habits die hard, I suppose.

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

If you know anything about Iran, if you've read the Shahnameh - the essence of Iranian identity - then you'll know that Iran will never surrender.

000

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

This seems to be an even more direct reference…

000

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

When seen in context with ordering all of Tehran (10 million people) to evacuate, then saying no ceasefire, and promising something "much bigger" in the opposite direction, Trump's post seems to border on nuclear blackmail.

121

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

If national epics capture the soul and essence of a nation, the Shahnameh might lend us to believe that Iran will fight on regardless of the costs - as a matter of honor and pride

000

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

Seems pretty clear Israel is pursuing its Hezbollah strategy against Iran. I think the idea is to sufficiently weaken the regime in the hopes that an uprising might do the rest. Even if that occurs, they might be left disillusioned.

000

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Israel is going to become associated by a broad swathe and perhaps even majority of the American public with all that is the rot of the bipartisan US governing system. This will be Israel’s long term undoing.

010

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

The question is not if Americans or even illegal residents have the right to voice their opinion this way - they do - the question is what signal that sends. For those Americans on the fence about the handling of these protest, they will swing over to the right. Strategy is everything.

000

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

I think the protestors burning US flags are making major miscalculations. They are useful idiots. Even in the minority, those images will spread the idea that identity politics and multiculturalism threaten to tear the nation apart, and build support for their repression.

Roberts was not “outmatched”. Why do we assume this is the best we can do? Why do we surrender, rather than fight? You can’t give Trump a treat to behave better. It encourages him. We need to come down firm from the outset. And defend what we pretend as our values.

Cory Satter @corysatter.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I’m tired of the trope that politicians “can’t” do stuff because of institutional constraints. Is that why Republicans “can’t” stand up and say we need to get Kilmar Abrego Garcia back? There is a degree of free will in politics. There is simply no courage.

But Shapiro is right. American political violence is out of control. And spiraling ever further out of control

Many in the GOP, including Trump, are racist or harbor racist stereotypes, but reducing them to racist obscures that they are more aporophobic (hatred of poor people) than anything.
