The now yearly and devastating forest fires occurring all across the Mediterranean (also happening now in Turkiye) are a pretty big warning sign.
#Syria: the fires now reached entrance of Qastal Maaf (N. #Latakia Mounts). Residents are evacuating the area and surrounding villages-hamlets. Calls spreading online to help those evacuating. The situation is getting out of control. Geolocation (first photo):

My latest for @vizierreport, exploring Türkiye's paradoxical strategy under President Erdoğan: seeking strategic autonomy through complex interdependence.
An increasingly assertive Türkiye under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s leadership has led to accusations of ‘Neo-Ottomanism’: a quest to re-imagine the Turkish Republic as a true successor state to the Ottoman Empire. What are the Turkish government's true intentions as it projects

My perspective on this question is more theological, and while it’s not exactly an answer as to why human sacrifice is the pagan norm, I make the case for Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son as being a crucial moral turning point away from human sacrifice:.
Rene Girard made a stellar career out of locking on to a critical question that usually gets swept under the rug—Why did every single ancient civilization practice human sacrifice, and why did the Old World stop in the 1st millennium BC? His answers were kind of nonsense, but the.
