Would be cool if the US could behave like a normal state and do things such as honoring the treaties they sign, but there we are.

Sinteres posted:Something a lot of Yemen War critics (such as myself) believed was that Obama was reluctantly dragged into a stupid and disastrous war in Yemen because he felt like he owed the Saudis one after the Iran deal (which is a dead letter now anyway, so great job even if that was the motive), but this seems to suggest that Obama was at least initially far from reluctant to see (and presumably assist) the Saudis take action there. oh man does FP publish their podcosts through itunes or somewhere else I can download them?

http://gothamist.com/2018/11/02/nypd_saudi_sisters_dead_hudson.php I don't want to jump to any conclusions but this article seems to make it sound like two depressed teens who had run away before ran away again to NYC, maxed out their credit cards and then... somehow duct taped themselves together to drown in the Hudson? idk it doesn't make much sense

Specifically a seemingly unstoppable horde that destroys a border wall, and sweeps through a nation converting everyone in its wake to its side.

Turkey started shelling the SDF in Kobane (again). The US responded in the usual way: https://twitter.com/mutludc/status/1058498632356388865?s=19 quote:US special forces started patrolling on the Kobane -Turkey border after Turkish artillery strikes Yep, this is somehow the new normal, and it's like the 8th? 10th? time this has happened by now, and none of this will be remarked upon by US media. Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong, maybe it's better this asinine, insane series of events has a routine, predictable outcome even if it does involve US soldiers routinely being human shields for a bunch of US-friendly socialists. Either way, welcome to the loving 21st century.

https://twitter.com/arstechnica/status/1058427785281261569?s=21 Remember how China managed to ID and execute all CIA informants in country in 2011-2012? Iran cracked CIA comms in 2009 and rounded up 30 people spying for the CIA in 2011. They also identified US CIA agents. They may have passed the info on to China.

Swedish alt-right Twitter just got into a spat of romanticizing Iran under the Shah. While I'm relatively certain it's cherry-picking nonsense it also reminded me that my knowledge of this era is from a strictly geo-political perspective. Anyone know of any good readings?

All the Shah's Men by Stephen Kinzer is good, though is explicit about why the Shah was bad and Mossadeq good. So, not what you're asking about but still an interesting book on the period, its really about Operation Ajax and is quite entertaining. Basically shows you the anti-Shah version, in case you needed it.
