Global dockworkers across 111 countries on five continents have coordinated a strike against all the wars.

You might have heard that subscriptions to newsletters have fallen off a cliff. It’s true, and it’s making me rethink the economics of this entire project. I really don’t want to bring back the paywall, and I also don’t want to abandon the project altogether. So if you value Un-Diplomatic and have the means to keep it going, please consider the less than $2 per week that it takes. And if you can’t, please consider sharing the post with others.
