Excellent breakdown of how the regime deploys foregin militias to outsource repression. The point about this tactic creating deniability is spot-on, I saw similar patterns during the 2022 protests where accountability just evaporates. What really makes this anaysis stand out is connecting the Pentagon's pushback to broader lessons from Libya and Iraq, feels like we might actualy be learning from past mistakes for once.

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate it.

Militia’s do provide for that lesser degree of accountability, whilst still being loyal to the executive of a country. It’s how to ‘get away with it’, while everyone still knows who is to blame, it’s the on paper issue that leads to nothing being done.

I truly do hope our governments are learning. I’m no longer interested in being a party to those actions which leave populations of countries other than my own worse off than before. It’s enough, I think. The weight of evidence pointing to it is too strong now. With the democratisation of access to information regarding historical events through the internet etc., I think the average person in the population can see that too. Here’s hoping it sticks 🤞🏻.

Each day, they are producing articles such as the one below, and the numbers just keep on growing.
