On Apologists, Escalation Managers, and Frankly Morally Corrupt Weak People Unable to Stand Up for Anything

The collective evidence from the theaters of Iran, Ukraine, and Israel confirms that light is indeed the best disinfectant. Transparency has served to expose the escalation managers whose over-caution has led to the subversion of the European security order and the terrible cost of human lives in Ukraine.

It has unmasked the apologists of the Iran Experts Initiative who infiltrated the highest levels of Western policy making to advance the interests of a theocratic dictatorship that openly boasts of its multi-front war against the West.

And it has revealed the wolves in sheep's clothing who use the language of human rights and democratic progress to apologize for regimes that commit genocide and sponsor global terror.

The light of moments like the October 7 attack and the 2025 Twelve-Day War exposes the reality that deterrence is not something that can be managed indefinitely through strategic ambiguity and restraint. True deterrence requires moral clarity and the willingness to act. The weak people who remain silent in the face of injustice are exposed by the light as the primary enablers of the barbarians they seek to avoid.

The architectural failures of the past decade—from the flawed JCPOA to the incrementalism of NATO’s support for Ukraine—demonstrate that when the Western civilization hesitates to speak the language of strength, it merely encourages bolder acts of aggression.

Ultimately, the goal of transparency in foreign policy must be to ensure that the architects of appeasement are not allowed to operate in the shadows.

Be it Iran, Ukraine, or Israel, light is the best disinfectant. It exposes, in moments like this, the escalation managers, apologists, wolves in sheep's clothing, and frankly weak people unwilling to act against barbarians.

What Democracies Can Learn From the Election of The New Pope — The Conclave?

Election of the new Pope has electrified the world’s attention, but what can we learn from this ancient process in this age of election campaigning, 24 hour news cycle, information overload and disinformation campaigning by malicious actors? Catholic Church as Flag Bearer of  Western Civilization and Its Values After the passing of Pope Francis curious and ancient tradition of the Conclave kicks off to select a new Pope. The Catholic Church h as 252 cardinals and not all will be voting, or even participating in the Conclave. As of April 30 the seventh general congregation included 181 cardinals, with 124 of the 133 voting cardinal s present. Francis has personally appointed about 80% of the cardinals who will elect the next pope. Some of them are, however, very conservative or otherwise oppose Francis' reform agenda despite this. Efforts by powerful conservative Catholic groupings were reportedly well underway days before the Conclave commenced. At the start of the procedure al...

Russians Prove Hannah Arendt Was Right Once Again

The Master and Margarita by Soviet writer Mikhail Bulkakov has been translated into Finnish as Satan is Coming to Moscow. I have always appreciated translators, because translating emotions, expressions, and cultural phenomena often requires the gifts of a magician.  I wish to  thank the Finnish translator Ulla-Liisa Heino for her oracular foresight. She predicted what I myself began to suspect around 2014 when Crimea was annexed and what I came to know to be true around the end of February 2022.  Satan is not coming to Moscow. Instead the Devil has been lurking there for years already!  I apologize for the melodramatic tone of my writing! The topic is difficult and evokes strong emotions: anger, hate, disappointment and absolute bewilderment. Maybe violence is the natural state of being and peacetime is just a glitch in the Matrix.

The Druze as a Litmus Test to New Syrian Regime's Honesty

Image
The West must demand the regime to stop violence against minorities. So far the evidence points to the opposite being true: genocidal incitement is going on whilst a beautiful face is presented to gullible Western decision makers. Fall of Assad breeds this wishful thinking in the West needlessly and behind the smiles is also hope, that migrant flows from the Middle East would cease, so that the extreme right would not grow stronger and defeat the centrist decision makers in Europe. Situation in Syria is Volatile and  Atrocities are Taking Place In December last year the Assad regime finally collapsed and a grouping called HTS ( “Organization for the Liberation of the Levant” or Hayat Tahrir al-Sham), supported by Turkey’s proxies, came to power. Jihadists of HTS are allowed to use deception against infidels as per their interpretation of islam. Showing a beautiful face towards the West is part of this strategy when they try to get rid of Assad-era sanctions.  Minorities ...
