'While reduced law enforcement and economic privation have caused a spike in piracy off the Horn of Africa, clear evidence pointing towards a wider paradigm shift back to piracy is much harder to find' writes George Hancock in the latest #RUSICommentary.

Here's a thread outlining the geopolitical situation around the Israel-Gaza war its possibilities, impossibilities, and possible outcomes. Heads up, it's my longest thread yet. It's also raw, unedited, and unevenly paced. Sorry, none of us are well but at least we're trying

BREAKING: Israel has used white phosphorus in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, putting civilians at risk of serious and long-term injuries.

White phosphorus causes excruciating burns and can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful.

Dear World,

This is what's happening in Pakistan today, whole state machinery has refused to conduct elections. Essentially meaning that they've denied people from their civil rights. They've literally attacked the residence of former PM @ImranKhanPTI, who has been demanding nothing but fair & free elections which have already been ordered by the apex court of Pakistan.

Today's newsletter (£) by @GJC_Hancock is about Bristol Sweet Mart, which has catered - in a precarious economic balancing act - for the many different ethnicities, generations and classes that have made up Easton for the last 45 years.

So what we have is:
Russia’s main forces are still failing to enter Kyiv and sustain severe casualties. Defense in the northwest is still very strong and effective. Air defense keeps strong. Small sabotage groups do enter but get destroyed.
Ukraine has full control.

[Anastasiia Lapatina @lapatina_]

Millions of people are hiding from airstrikes in the biggest country in Europe. If this isn't a sign of a collective failure, I don't fucking know what is. God help Ukraine.

This evening, I am giving a long-scheduled lecture in Oxford on the history of medieval Ukraine and its neighbours.

Speaking openly and freely about the East European past is one thing we can do today.
