⁣INTERESTING TIMES

“May you live in interesting times.”

Said to be a curse, this apocryphal saying, attributed to China, is in fact more than likely the product of an Englishman’s imagination. It is, however, accurate nonetheless, especially if one’s understanding of the definition of the word “interesting” takes a more morbid approach toward what is capable today of “arousing curiosity or interest” or “holding or catching the attention.”

By any account, 2024 was an “interesting” year. We began with dual conflicts in progress—the Russian “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine, and the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

But there were other conflicts as well, those that operated below the event horizon of most Americans.

⁣TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS: RUSSIA AND IRAN

On the presidential campaign trail in 2024, Donald Trump articulated a foreign policy agenda that blended classic isolationism with old-fashioned “big stick” diplomacy predicated on the notion of “peace through strength.” The geopolitical situation that gave birth to this policy amalgam, however, altered in the weeks after he was elected — in particular, the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and perception of Russian and Iranian vulnerability have opened the door to new policy considerations. This new post-election reality paves the way for potential policy breakthroughs on Russia and Iran in the Trump administration’s first 100 days in office.

Prior to the final collapse of the government of al-Assad on Dec. 8, the transition team of US President-elect Trump was focused on the need to convince Russia that it was in its best interests to agree to an immediate cessation of hostilities in Ukraine and on how to prop up a faltering Israel in a way that could pressure Iran into walking away from its nuclear program.

The sudden demise of the Al-Assad regime, however, brought new perceptions of Russian military overextension and Iranian weakness, opening the door to policy formulations that allowed the Trump transition team to assume a more assertive posture.

⁣You are singularly responsible for the deaths of more than a million people as a result of a Russian-Ukrainian conflict you could have avoided, but facilitated because peace with Russia was never an option, only war.

You took advantage of a mentally diminished President to take our nation to the brink of nuclear war with Russia, violating Constitution due process.

You are a war criminal in every sense of the word.

I hope you are investigated, charged, and found guilty of betraying your nation—my country.

And I hope you are given the justice you so richly deserve.
