Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

Cesare Borgia was arguably the closest Western Europe ever got to having the equivalent of a Tsar rule a major realm there.
France had regional parliaments!

Spain was a *mess* of differing kingdoms and local privileges and nobility/legislatures.

The *English* arguably were the most consolidated west of Kyiv, and even then.

Even the Ottomans were less consolidated.
Only the Papal States come close to the Tsars.

29 November 1929 | A Czech Jew, Tibor Taglicht, was born. As a refugee he went to Norway.

He was deported to #Auschwitz with his sister Vera in March 1943. He was selected as able to work. He asked to stay with his younger sister. They were both murdered in a gas chamber.

Rarement les efforts d'une enquête auront autant consisté à enquêter sur de nouveaux moyens pour ne pas résoudre l'enquête.
The Epstein estate did not "refuse" to provide these materials, it said that Patel should present a subpoena for them, just as the congressional oversight team did. Patel has a law degree and even practiced for a while, but he really doesn't seem to understand how investigations work...

we assume that widespread access to content generation tools means a kind of "democratization" of information risk -- but what if it doesn't? what if, paradoxically, the most well-resourced people are the most at risk for epistemic degeneration?
