The Eviction Notice is being written. And it will come in four languages. Russian. Farsi. Mandarin. And last but not least, English.
A much-cherished pleasure of professional writing is to always be enriched by informed readers. This "eviction" insight - worth a thousand geopolitical treatises - was offered by one of my sharpest readers
commenting on a column.
Concisely, what we have here expresses a deeply felt consensus across the spectrum not only in West Asia but also in most latitudes across the Global South/Global Majority.
The Unthinkable, in the form of a genocide conducted live, in real time on every smartphone in the third decade of the millennium - which I called the

With the Kiev-junta having lost upwards of 500,000 troops in the West's proxy-war, more women are being seen on the frontlines:
