Relistening to their ep on somalia and al shaabab, have they done an ep on the Somali-Ethiopian conflict?

I’m more inclined to think Sanders will lose because Dolan is hoping for him.

He's right. The Chapo crew will never have the courage to spy for Iran.

the larouche part is insanely interesting. Can someone tell me if the eliott abrams part is worth a listen after the refresher chapo gave a week ago? I'd assume RWN being what it is would go more in-depth, but I thought the chapo ep was thorough enough

This is really one of the best episodes they've done in a while. All the LaRouchite stuff is extremely fascinating. It's insane to contrast how annoying they are today with what they used to be, which was a gang of nunchaku-wielding psychopaths trying to crack leftist skulls.

New episode is about the CIA's involvement in the Paris Review. They talk about Kashmir at the end. I think they recorded it a day after Pakistan captured that pilot.

I wish there was a War Nerd meet or something here in Buenos Aires while Dolan is still around. I did message him (have talked on and off since his Exile days) about it but got no response. Then again, it seems he's been having health issues.

I'm sure there are writers in the world who would be totally up for lunch with random fans in Buenos Aires and would have a great time doing it but I suspect our boy John is not one of them. No shade on you for trying, though.

Is there a short version of why Matt Taibbi and Mark Ames don't get along anymore? Is it just something personal, or is it some substantive difference in outlook or something? Was it about Omidyar / First Look?

I don't know if there was some specific incident that pushed them apart, but from an outside perspective it seems unsurprising. Starting from more or less the same place in the 1990s, covering many of the same issues and using a very similar authorial voice, these two guys ended up have very divergent careers, with one achieving a lot of mainstream recognition and success while the other was semi-blacklisted from respectable journalism and relies heavily on a subscriber funded podcast. Combine that with two macho personalities and it seems like the bigger shock would be if they hadn't had some kind of falling out.
