coathat posted:I think it’s because they’ve been covering stuff that they’re really into. And speaking of that the next episode is going to be about Sparta with the guy they interviewed for the Athenian Sicily invasion this was a good ep, as was the spanish-american war one (where they spent most of it on the phillippines), and the pakistan election ep. their correspondent on that one is very good in the half-dozen episodes i've listened to, i've heard ames reference specific events from the original austin powers like three times. he's so gen x

Pener Kropoopkin posted:When John was a big Irish Republican guy, he was basically a committed American nationalist. He and Mark both had phases of young adulthood where they were right wingers. yeah so what was dolan like in the early 90s under thatcher/major? i think volker linked a 2002 essay in a d&d thread that seemed a lil flippant also i don't hear an accent, so was he just like a boston irish guy or whatever? gotta admit the last year of shows of him saying "ohhh, we have to go from turin to syracuse is haaard" is offputting

Was he writing as himself or in character as brecher? i think it was a followup to this with the headline something like "the faggots back down" again i'm new, so what's the difference between dolan and brecher? is there a bit or is it just a pen name edit here we go http://exiledonline.com/war-nerd-called-it-indians-and-pakis-too-faggy-for-war/all/1/ i say swears online has issued a correction as of 09:45 on Dec 20, 2018 |

Dreylad posted:gary brecher was a character conceived as a pen pusher in some california tech/military industrial company who spent his spare time reading every Jane's publication ever written. everything the character wrote is from that perspective. think grover without the death house. okay that makes sense

Pener Kropoopkin posted:One of the consistent themes that Mark beats is that these vampires never go away. It seemed like the Neocons were defeated in the wake of the original Bush losing to Clinton, only to come back in force with Bush II and later again now as Never Trumpers. So long as there's money behind them they never loving go away. There are neocon nevertrumpers, cabinet officials and Democrats now lol

Pener Kropoopkin posted:If you don't like the editorial voice of "Gary Brecher," the Radio War Nerd podcast doesn't use it at all. You should listen to the Sci Fi & Fascism episode if you want to get a sense of their genuine politics. thanks for explaining this a lil; i'm still new to the podcast (i read some exile right near the beginning of my internet awakening but i was too dumb to understand satire when i was 17) and having ames introduce dolan as brecher each ep is confusing for someone not totally familiar with the last, yikes, quarter-century

ThatBasqueGuy posted:Anyone else underwhelmed with the Nigeria episode? Felt like more of the episode was spent on US politics, when the audio was even parsable. Also got the vibe of real trash progressive/liberal electioneering insights, but that's the risk you run into when covering an election I guess. I almost subscribed because I heard about this ep. If it's not in depth as all hell, I'm good. Nigerian politics owns

snoremac posted:I haven’t listened to the Nigerian ep but it reminds me of a comment John once wrote that intrigued me that if not foreign exploitation Nigeria would be a massively successful country on a scale with the big dogs. sorta. it's still a colonial amalgation. the more northern muslim areas had the sokoto empire until relatively recently, but the ethnic groups in the "south-south" of the country hate the others to the north and west and are generally separatist

Pener Kropoopkin posted:The Igbo have had a long history of independence before the British made them one big country with the Yoruba, Hausa, and Fulani. Also keep in mind, people may resent Hausa for stupid reasons but the Nigerian army literally starved Biafra into submission, and Igbo & Yoruba who move to the north to make money get killed fairly regularly. It's not like they just hate each other for nothing. yeah, i have friends that also complain that "their oil" goes to financiers in kano. the most recent issue the last two years has been fulani herdsmen encroaching on igbo cropland around yobe. the sahel is a lovely place for herding and they dive south as far as they can until people start fighting back

Bastaman Vibration posted:apparently Ames did not share John's legendary affinity for those glossy monthly picture books i love old natgeos, mostly for gleaning popular sentiment and some basic foreign policy out of the articles. i've got several from the late eisenhower through kennedy era, including one on the saudis which is a riot the ads are also bizarre too

Pener Kropoopkin posted:There was an article posted not too long ago in I think the Middle East thread, and the conclusion was that because we've soured relations with Turkey, the Iraqi government, and invading through Afghanistan isn't possible with an active insurgency - the only place left to invade Iran through is the Persian Gulf. Which as we've established, is the absolute worst way to invade. the nagorno-karabakh gambit

Shakenbaker posted:I only managed to get through about half of the interview yesterday before work got too stupid for me to pay attention but what I did hear was interesting. I really didn't know much of anything about Boko Haram beyond the standard western media "these are some more of those bad Muslims, you know the sort" so it caught me off guard when she was talking about the occult aspects. I don't know much about Nigeria either so finding out that there's a few hundred ethnicities there threw me for a loop. And the Brits are involved because of course they are. I lived in what's called the Middle Belt, where none of the three major ethnic groups has a majority presence. It was insane how many languages I could hear spoken, and a reason why pigin is so popular. coathat posted:Disappointed that the guest grew up in America so she didn’t have an accent but luckily there was a torrential rain to make the audio interesting. She never mentioned that of the two main parties, goodluck Jonathan's has a power base in igboland, is economically liberal and socially conservative. Buhari's party of the north and west represent the poorest citizens, is somewhat leftist/anticolonial in economic policy and is ambivalent socially
