This writer's empathy does not extend to the 19000+ Ukrainian children deported by a genocidal Russian terrorist state, which his writing about the war never, ever mention.
Past examples of geopolitical conflict between irreconcilable opposites in which this therapy skill set was utterly useless:
The slave South and the Union.
The Bushido Japanese occupiers who raped Nanjing and the Chinese they practiced beheading contests on.
The Jewish rebels of the Warsaw ghetto and their German murderers.
Algerian and Indochinese rebels and their French occupiers. The Vietnamese and the American successors of the French.
Simon Bolivar and his rebels vs the Spanish empire.
The Dutch Republic and its Spanish occupiers.
Gandhi vs the British empire. But Gandhi said he could never have used the same strategy of nonviolent resistance against a German coloniser.
The Spanish Republic and its Franquista fascist enemies who used Moorish mercenaries to invade continental Spain to "defend Christian civilization."
Ukraine 🇺🇦 and its fight for survival against a genocidal Russian empire that claims the same while using Muslim Chechen mercenaries to erase Ukraine from the map.

Power concedes nothing without a fight. --W.E.B. Dubois
