Week in Review: 2024, week 13

Nuclear war, genocide and other minor matters

Mar 31, 2024

Published: 2024-03-31

Corrections: A headline misread — Crocus death toll rose to 137 not 37.

Note: The coming week will see Blinkenlights’ tour of Europe meeting Macron, the NATO foreign ministers, and Ukraine’s. Official documents, including transcripts are key. This newsletter will do its best identify and cite them in its coverage. Mercouris may even come in handy. M.K.B. certainly will.
