I argue that debates over democratic backsliding and competitive authoritarianism in South Asia, while still important, need to be complemented by a renewed focus on how militaries exercise power and influence in Pakistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and even Nepal:

Spotted from her latest because she is now suddenly the world's foremost expert on NVE/TCC.
If none of you could see how dishonest she is with the way she tries to cling on to and gatekeep Southeast Asia as her portfolio then 🤷🏻♀️
And if you're very, very sharp, you'd notice she's not entirely honest with her synthesis of @maargentino.com's work either.
Sorry not sorry, gotta point it out.
Julie Chernov Hwang is trash. She knew she had to cite my work because no one else broke Ulu Tiram down the way I did yet still found a way to keep me nameless. Compare her entry of my work with all the others. Also note the sneaky way she inserted her shitty Brief on NVE/TCC into the citation list.
It turns out that banks allowing him to walk away (really, how do you fail at a business where the house always wins) consequence free from multiple bankruptcies , taught the president that his failures are always someone else’s problem.
Italy, France and Spain now denying US air space for its war crimes.
The world has changed. Alliances are dead.
The US is a global pariah. I hope @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social are paying attention.
The bill has been approved. Israeli prisons will turn into guillotines for Palestinians. Hundreds will be executed in the next few weeks. 9300 hostages now in Israeli custody. Dark day for humanity. Unforgettable memory in the Palestinian cause history.
Israel’s holocaust of Palestinians reached a horrific new low today. No different than trains heading to gas chambers. Shame on everyone silent about this.
Iranians call Isfahan “nesf-e-jahan,” or half the world, due to its beauty and cultural heritage. More than two million people live there. The videos from Isfahan tonight look apocalyptic. They’re painful to watch.
Spain has taken another step in rejecting the US-Israeli war on Iran, denying US warplanes the use of its airspace to conduct any war-related operations.
And don't think I didn't see some of the supporting comments claiming my plagiarism call outs to be a red flag of my character. That speaks volume of America and its history and people.
Nothing but fucking self-righteous thieves.
LOL he blocked me. So much for his moral superiority. Enjoy your new gas prices. At least we have oil 😘
Why are you people even so pressed by the opinion of someone in Southeast Asia and trying to correct me?
Thin skinned, is what.
It's not presumptuous to assume that Americans have been pretty much useless and performative. Please keep doing your costumed and interpretive dancing protests, I'm sure that'll achieve something.
A bunch of wonderful development in this thread for our thin skinned Americans to cry about.
Americans and Europeans crying at being stuck with exorbitant oil prices - - this is a small price to pay for your complicity on genocide in Gaza and various crimes against humanity. Suck it.
It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.
This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

They'll cheer on the war then complain about the refugees it'll create.
Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.
Republicans, Democrats, you're all the same to us. You're all complicit. You all did this. You're all responsible for this. Disgusting, deranged nation. War crimes are the only thing you're all good at doing.
The US is a genocidal regime...
Never forget.
People who believe this are basically aliens to me. You cannot divorce reasoning from humanity, even when it’s weakly simulated in a chatbot. If you can’t compare two different texts, you should not be a scholar. If you have no personal approach to your work, then you shouldn’t take credit for it.
shitlibs doing sinophobia but "woke"-ly. truly enthralling midterm electoral campaigning
Tell me you know nothing about the Philippines and its geopolitical position without saying you know nothing about the Philippines and its geopolitical position.
@munira.bsky.social my translation here
How Indonesia's Islamic authorities determine when Ramadan begins is so so fascinating to me. This is a very handy explainer from Tempo and, assuming this year is the same is every other, Antara will have a really cool post on Instagram in the morning.
