From FRANCE- First a press review on a wide-ranging press call given by French President Macron- it included limits for students screen time, an experiment with compulsory uniforms for students, and language borrowed from the right-wing politicians. France 24 has a daily program called Perspective, and this one was an interview with Simon Shuster, a Ukrainian born Russian-American who is a senior correspondent at Time magazine. He has written a book called Showman- Inside the Invasion that Shook the World and Made a Leader of Volodymyr Zelensky. He tracked and followed Zelensky since his days as comedian and TV producer, and how and why he demands that the war continue.
From JAPAN- As Japan moves away from its pacifist constitution it has reached a deal with the US to buy 400 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. The military in the Philippines plans to build infrastructure on remote islands and reefs in the South China Sea for supplies, troops, and ships. Iran has launched retaliatory missile strikes against an Israeli Mossad military base in Iraq, in response to Israeli missiles killing an Iranian military leader in Syria last month. Pakistan and Iran have carried out series of military strikes on each other, raising concern of further war in the region.
From CUBA- UN experts have taken Germany to task for defending war and genocide, charges leveled against Israel by South Africa at the International Court of Justice. A Palestinian shopkeeper showed Reuters a video of Israeli troops using him as a human shield in the West Bank. A UN expert accused the Israeli regime of displacing civilians en masse to permanently alter the Gaza population. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Oxfam reported that the five richest men in the world have more than doubled their fortunes since 2020.

“Human beings can be redeemed. Empires cannot. Our refusal to face the truth about empire, our refusal to defy the multitudinous crimes and atrocities of empire, has brought about the nightmare Malcolm predicted. And as the Digital Age and our post-literate society implant a terrifying historical amnesia, these crimes are erased as swiftly as they are committed.” -Chris Hedges
