@WarintheFuture @Tatarigami_UA @KaurinShanks @RisaBrooks12 @davidwhetham Thanks for the shoutout. Several thousand packs of Ukrainian translated military ethics playing cards are being used on the front lines right at this moment - sent at their request. We’re happy to assist!

A privilege to be working with Ukrainian military chaplains again today. As @alastairmci often reminds me - it’s a long front. Another shipment of the Ukrainian language military ethics education cards accompanies them on their journey home. @EuroIsme @CWRUInamori @KCLMilEthics

OK, so let's talk about what's going on at the border and what on earth is up with @GovAbbott and the #TXNationalGuard. Because there's some super interesting civ-mil dynamics at play, which will, IMO get worse before they get better. 🧵 1/

Spare a thought this Christmas for the men and women of the Ukrainian armed forces, many spending it in freezing, austere trenches, pounded by artillery, but resilient in their determination to resist the Russian aggression, while maintaining compassion and humanity. 🇺🇦

[Dr David W 💙 @davidwhetham]

The law of armed conflict or IHL is a remarkable body of norms and rules. It is often seen as a restriction on what it is permissible to do, but it is also framed in such a way that it can be incredibly permissive.

The crucial moral question is neither “who is worse?” nor “who started it?”, but “who has the power to stop it?”
