POWER, ILLUSION AND THE THUCYDIDES WARNING
 |
| We are witnessing the persistence of human nature under conditions of power |
How Thucydides still speaks to us, 2,500 years on
Power rarely collapses from weakness. It collapses from the consequences of misjudgement. The confrontation between the US and Israel with Iran may prove to be one of those moments.
My late professor David L Larson of the University of New Hampshire, used to say that there is nothing ancient about the ancients. They are not relics of the past, but analysts of the present. He was absolutely right.
Thucydides did not write history as narrative, but as analysis. He described not only what happened, but why states behave as they do when they believe themselves all-powerful. His History of the Peloponnesian War is not just about Athens and Sparta. It is about human nature under conditions of power, and the decisions that flow from it when judgement falters. That is why he still speaks to us, 2,500 years on.
ISRAELIS OPPOSE IRAN CEASEFIRE, DIVIDED OVER WHETHER TO RESPECT IT, POLL SAYS
Nearly two-thirds of Israelis oppose the Iran ceasefire but the public is divided over whether Israel should respect the two-week truce or resume attacks on Iran, according to a poll from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The poll was the first national survey of Israelis conducted after the U.S. and Iran agreed last week to a ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, the survey’s authors said. The two sides failed to reach a broader deal to end the war in weekend talks in Islamabad.
