For my own sanity, but also for yours, we need more critical takes about current events. There’s too much happening and it’s hard to keep track of everything that matters.\n\nSo as a bonus for patrons of the newsletter, I’m going to check in each week with a run down of stories that deserve amplification, with critiques from the Un-Diplomatic perspective.\n\nThis week:\n\nThe gigification of Temu supply chains amid great-power rivalry.\n\nThe Russian missile crisis and what it has to do with North Korea.\n\nThe hikoi protest march in New Zealand as a beacon of hope for humanity."}
