The Global Impact of Gaza and Ukraine's Turmoil
The globalized reactions to conflicts like the Gaza war and the Ukraine war reveal a deep crisis of meaning and legitimacy in the modern world. People from around the globe, driven by ontological insecurity and the need for identity, internalize these conflicts and turn them into wars of victimhood, seeking catharsis and a sense of unity. Meanwhile, political establishments instrumentalize these conflicts to legitimize their power and ideologies. This phenomenon, known as "transferred nationalism," allows individuals and nations to attain moral capital and social prestige without altering their conduct. However, this global internalization of wars can lead to social discord, political instability, and even physical intervention, distorting national interests and security priorities.
Afghanistan's Humanitarian Crisis Worsens Amid Drought and Uncertain Withdrawal
Two years after the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, Western assessments of the regime remain obscured by anger and misconceptions.

While the Taliban's treatment of women and girls is abominable, the situation was not significantly better under previous governments. The Afghan Diaspora's decision to leave the country instead of staying and pushing back has weakened their moral authority. Overall, while not a cause for celebration, the two-year anniversary of the Taliban's rule has not been the disaster many predicted.
