Basically: what's the earliest evidence for the US nuclear umbrella over Australia? I can find veiled references to it going back to 1968, and Australia has acted as though and claimed it exists for decades now, but I can't find explicit affirmation of it in any official US source before...2023

Thankfully this attack reportedly resulted in no more than minor injuries, though the facility was extensively damaged. Luckily there are many other operational hospitals in Israel - this is not the case in Gaza
It is very bad that norms against targeting healthcare facilities have been so eroded

Of course while the US is a broken society in many unique ways, I do imagine you could get reasonably high numbers on such questions in many European countries too. This fundamental failure to see immigrants as human beings is a widespread problem

I also like that he says "speaking here between us" and then it gets published in a book
