That is real political maturity. When you strip away excuses and spin, it comes down to one test. Does this harm people or help them. Everything else is noise.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Rob Reiner was a creative genius and a lovely man, with such passion and principle, including on politics. I had the privilege of interviewing him once. And of course A Few Good Men is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Rest in power, Rob.

"Trump and his team exuberantly violate just about every precept of character that I was ever taught, and so it goes with moderation and humility. They’ve normalized bragging," writes Frank Bruni. "Scratch that: They’ve fetishized it."

Peace without people is just a show. No debate, no transparency, no strong civil voice means deals happen above heads, not for them. Real peace needs public trust, not staged talks.

Despite the rhetoric, there is still no public debate, no transparency, and little trace of an independent civil society capable of shaping or even monitoring the peace process.
Armenia and Azerbaijan: dialogue or performance?
Armenia and Azerbaijan, after the second Karabakh war, appear increasingly close to normalizing relations, but analysts and activists are not entirely convinced that the process will be transparent and inclusive.
