My jaw dropped when I read the variety of reasons (or rather excuses, excuses, excuses) Republicans have come up with for mass shootings in the U.S. Hint: not a single one of them blame the problem on easy access to guns. Among their reasons are: Abortion (Fox ‘News’ host Mark Levin) ‘Lecturing women’ (Fox ‘News’…

‘The world is bloody messy’: Jacinda Ardern urges end to ‘black-and-white’ view of global conflict | New Zealand | The Guardian
“The honest reality is that the world is bloody messy. And yet, amongst all the complexity, we still often see issues portrayed in a black and white way,” she said. “We must not allow the risk of a self-fulfilling prophecy to become an inevitable outcome for our region.”
She also called for countries not to become myopically focused on military security, and miss the major threat that climate change and economic fragility posed to the Pacific.
“While we all have a concern – and rightly so – about any moves towards militarisation of our region, that must surely be matched by concern for those who experienced the violence of climate change,” she said.
“What happens in the Indo-Pacific Region impacts our entire neighbourhood. It follows that we must strengthen the resilience of the Indo-Pacific through relationships, and importantly, economic architecture.”
As she charted New Zealand’s approach to trying to pursue “independent foreign policy” as a small player in an intensely pressured environment, Ardern re-articulated the country’s commitment to multilateral institutions – but also reflected on their recent failures. There was “no better example of that than the failure of the UN to appropriately respond to the war in Ukraine because of the position taken by Russia in the security council”, she said, describing it as “a morally bankrupt position on their part, in the wake of a morally bankrupt and illegal war”.
Let Go
We can’t dwell on the why’s, the if’s and the but’s. We have to let go of our past mistakes and shortsightedness, be present at all times in every decision we make or action we take, resolving to act intentionally and with loving kindness at all times.
