From this week’s coming news post on politics & democracy, and international affairs: an alleged breach of sovereignty, and possibly a weakening of democracy

From this week’s coming news post on politics & democracy, and international affairs:

“US accuses [South Asian] Indian agent of directing plot to assassinate American citizen”   https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/29/india-assassination-attempt-american-citizen   This alleged assassination is the sort of event that Russia is notorious for, and that the USA has been accused of doing or attempting in the past - perhaps most notably against Fidel Castro. In any case, it raises significant concerns about sovereignty violations - IF it is true. It also, in my opinion, weakens democracy - again, if true    

 

 Assumptions / basis 

In writing this, I have assumed / started from the following: 

• this blog states quite clearly that it is about political and human rights matters, including lived experience of problems, and thus I will assume readers are reasonable people who have noted the content warning in the post header;

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”; 
  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing, and all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk.
