Hmm, that translation's actually less dramatic than the original statement.
It feels weird having this treated as a distant current event hotbed and almost like an oddity in formal tones, however sympathetically it's done. And that's not a criticism. It's just weird. It's a lot more personal here where I am, and over there it's...pretty much par for the course.
