A German Perspective on Just War and Just Peace By Dr. Christian Göbel,  Professor of Philosophy at Assumption University in Worcester, MA and a Lt.

In this video, Ethics Textbook author Meghan Lacks, PhD, LMFT, emphasizes how important it is for MFTS to understand the unique ethical considerations and dynamics that come into play when working with the military community. Considering the military is one of the largest employers in the world, it’s crucial that MFTs are prepared to work with this demographic with confidence and care. Dive deeper into this topic and learn actionable insights through the "Family Therapy Ethics with Service Members, Veterans, and Their Families" chapter in the 2024 Systemic Ethics Textbook.

📰 The Insider has uncovered shocking details in their latest article: “Morality and ethics should play no part”: Leaks reveal how Russia's foreign intelligence agency runs disinformation campaigns in the West by Michael Weiss, Roman Dobrokhotov, and Christo Grozev. 🔍 Through hacked correspondence, we now have a window into the SVR’s “information warfare” strategy against the West. The documents reveal a chilling blueprint: spreading disinformation on sensitive topics, posing as radical political forces, and appealing to emotions like fear over rationality. 💡 This joint investigation with Der Spiegel shines a light on the covert “Project Kylo,” aimed at creating perfectly traceless disinformation campaigns. Despite these efforts, The Insider and Der Spiegel traced it back to the SVR, revealing their tactics to stoke anti-government sentiments in the West. 📉 Targeting liberal democracies’ support for Ukraine, the SVR’s aim was to invoke “fear,” “panic,” and “horror” — reminiscent of Cold War-era disinformation campaigns by the Soviet KGB. 🛡️ Stay informed and vigilant! Read the full article to understand how these operations affect global politics and why it’s crucial to counter disinformation. #Disinformation #Russia #SVR #InformationWarfare #CyberSecurity #TheInsider #InvestigativeJournalism #NationalSecurity

P4: Ethics or Economy? Realizing that we are living in an era witnessing events that will someday become part of history books—such as the Ukraine-Russia War, the Israel-Iran-Gaza Conflict, de-dollarization, the concept of BRICS currency, cancer vaccines, major shifts in U.S. policy and presidency, the fall of Syria, and many more. These events are unprecedented in human history. But the question lies deeply—should we prioritize the lives of the innocent or the economy? All the major events mentioned above have led to the deaths of at least 5 million people unofficially. Should we avoid discussing these deaths or allow our foreign policy to be largely driven by economic and wealth factors? The answer is not at all easy. A question to ponder.

Israel’s defense of its tactics and impunity for war crimes is the most recent example of a long history of liberal democracies using distorted “ethical” justifications for war crimes. These justifications appeal to “moral” values, rather than legal rules, to sidestep concerns about legality of, and accountability for, war crimes. Until such distorted narratives are challenged, powerful states, including the United States and Israel, will continue to commit war crimes with impunity while claiming to be the most “moral military in the world.” Despite their outward commitment to human rights and international law, it is no secret that liberal democracies have committed large-scale war crimes. For example, the UK engaged in a campaign of torture and detention in Kenya, France carried out “systematic torture” during its war in Algeria in the 1950s, and the US conducted carpet bombing in Cambodia during the Vietnam War, and implemented a torture program after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. From the early days of European colonization of the New World, colonizing powers justified the genocide and torture of indigenous people by claiming that native peoples’ barbaric nature forced civilized states to resort to such tactics. After the American Revolutionary War, defenders of the wars of extermination against Native Americans justified their actions by claiming Native Americans “did not abide by (European) rules of war but rather waged merciless warfare that ignored all civilized constraints … different standards were justified when dealing with such peoples.” A similar narrative was used to justify the turn-of-the-20th century U.S. invasion of the Philippines and the use of torture against Filipino soldiers and civilians.
