アメリカのウクライナへの情報共有・情報提供は、2022年以前から。それがなければキーウ戦は違う展開になっていただろうことは間違いない。今は他のNATO構成諸国からのAWACSも飛んでいるけど、最初からやっていたのは米空軍。2014年からウクライナへの軍事支援を本格化させており、AWACSもその頃からだろう。

つまりアメリカはロシアの攻撃目標をウクラツナに伝えていたと。 それでいてロシアがイランに情報伝えてることにはキレ散らかしてたのか。 すげーアメリカらしい厚かましさだわね。

私が情報収集用に外国語でタイムラインを揃えている別アカウントでは、10月７日ルビオ国務長官「文明」演説に対する論評が山のように入ってくるが、日本人は関心がないようですね。ブルーム『アメリカンマインドの終焉』で、「西洋文明論」が全米の大学の１年生必修科目から外された1980年代のことが論じられているのは知っていたが、先日パランティア創業者ピーター・ティール氏の本を読むまで、それがアメリカの保守派にとって非常に感情的な問題であることの深度に気づけていなかった。レオ・シュトラウスがネオコンの知的アイコンになったのも、亡命ユダヤ人にして古代ギリシア哲学を深く読み込む人物だったからこそ、だということをあらためて思い知った。⇒私に言わせれば古代ギリシア文明は、「地中海文明」に展開する系譜であり、「西洋」がその影響を受けたのは確かだとしても、アラブ人やペルシャ人以上に正統に引き継いだと言えるのかは疑問。特に、大航海時代に生まれた稀有な機会を活かして世界最大の資産国になったにすぎない辺境の小国オランダ・島国イギリスの植民地だった北米の合衆国こそが、古代ギリシア文明の正統な後継者である、と言うのは、イデオロギー的な「物語」でしかないんだけど、まあそれは私が人間として未熟だから、そう感じるだけなんでしょうけどね。

Mr. @SecRubio, I write this as an educator at one of your Ivy League schools, the University of Pennsylvania, and as someone who has spent years teaching Persian history and culture and their intersections with Greek and Western history and culture. Your dangerously Eurocentric account of Perso-Greek history is not only distorted and misleading; it also ignores the most basic facts about centuries of cultural exchange between civilizations you frame as fundamentally opposed. Greek civilization did not develop in isolation from its eastern neighbors, nor did what we now call Western civilization emerge independently of the intellectual and cultural worlds to its east. The Persians and Greeks were not simply enemies locked in an eternal civilizational struggle. They were also neighbors whose worlds intersected through diplomacy, trade, art, religion, literature, philosophy, science, and political thought. The Achaemenid Empire itself was a vast, multicultural world connecting the Mediterranean to Central Asia. Greek thinkers lived and traveled in the wider Persian world, while Greek knowledge, art, and political ideas circulated across the eastern Mediterranean and beyond. These encounters were complex, reciprocal, and often shaped by both conflict and cooperation. Yes, there were imperial wars between Persians and Greeks, just as there were wars between other ancient empires. But reducing their history to military invasions while erasing centuries of cultural contact and exchange is not historical analysis. It is ideological mythmaking. Had you engaged seriously with the histories of Persian and Greek philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, mythology, art, and literature, you might have recognized how inadequate and dangerous it is to reproduce the crude civilizational binaries popularized by the notoriously racist movie 300. Invoking this caricature of ancient history to mobilize support for contemporary military aggression is not an innocent historical error. It is a way of manufacturing an enemy by presenting an entire civilization as an existential threat. History shows us where such rhetoric can lead. The Nazis exploited myths of national humiliation and betrayal after the First World War, scapegoating Jews to legitimize exclusion, persecution, and ultimately genocide. The historical circumstances are different, but the broader warning remains: the deliberate construction of civilizational enemies can help normalize dehumanization and mass violence. When a senior US official selectively weaponizes a complex history he demonstrably misrepresents, he does more than spread misinformation. He helps advance a worldview in which war between civilizations appears inevitable and aggression becomes defensible. That is how dangerous political narratives are built, and how human catastrophes are made easier to justify. Your speech is historically uninformed, aggressively Eurocentric, and deeply troubling. At a moment when the consequences of military escalation are measured in human lives, we need historical literacy and intellectual responsibility, not racist caricatures dressed up as civilizational history.

Key Takeaway: The US’ decision to allow Russia to supply diesel to the global markets, including to the United States, will support the Kremlin’s efforts to stonewall US efforts to end the war, as the profits from diesel exports will enable Russia to continue funding its war in Ukraine. The US decision to grant Russia a waiver to export diesel also represents a unilateral US concession in its negotiation posture with Russia, when Russia has offered the US no concessions in negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

組織としてICCへの制裁攻撃は、予測されていたので、その意味で驚きはないが、ICCとしては生存を賭けた本格的な闘いの段階に入る。ロシアやイランが生き残っているからといってICCが生き残れるかはわからない。国際司法、国際機関、そして米国の一方的制裁の歴史に、大きな意味を持つ事例となる。
