In Episode 209 [14] of the CounterVortex podcast [15], Bill Weinberg takes stock of the frightening international escalation set off by the Gaza cataclysm [16], with Yemen [17], Syria [18], Iraq [19], Iran and Pakistan [20] all coming under aerial bombardment over the past week, in a cascading regional crisis. The 1937 aerial bombardment of the Spanish town of Guernica [21] by Nazi warplanes shocked the world. Today, what happened there is a near-daily occurrence in countries around the world. And the media ("mainstream," "alternative" and "social") are more concerned [22] with how the various actors line up in the Great Power game than the horrific realities [23] on the ground.
