I listened to probably about 50 hours of Radio War Nerd on my vacation last month, and listening to the landlady debacle... holy poo poo.

I started from December 2016 and have selectively gone back for a few highlights (like the sci-fi episode).

There's nothing weird about a 60 year old guy who adores a mainland Asian guy a third/half his age.

Sorry that love between men makes you so uncomfortable.

I'm not uptight, you're uptight, etc etc.

I've been going through the backlog, and it's almost eerie how evergreen most of the episodes are. Mark called out the paranoia about Russia the millisecond it happened which puts his clear exhaustion on the topic in more recent episodes into perspective.

yeah he was fairly explicit about mentioning who wants regime change and why. if he is as pro regime change as you say he is, i didn't hear much about that in the episode.

Supporting Maduro seems to be the point of many people including the point of he guy you linked. Much of the discourse is totally aimed at delegitimizing and smearing any opposition to the current regime. Guaido is not a Manchurian candidate carefully inserted into the Venezuelan legislature by the US years ago. He is the legitimate leading representative of the last legislative body to be, relatively, freely elected (Maduro tried to rig the election but seriously underestimated the amount of rigging necessary).

The success of the opposition in that election is what led to the final breakdown of the constitutional order in Venezuela. Maduro never recognized his loss in that election and has since neutered the body by packing the supreme court before the new representatives were sworn in and then setting up a parallel legislative assembly, a single party body with candidate lists for the election controlled by the PSUV.

If he is not a legitimate channel for opposition to the regime then who is? All that is left is a military putsch, which would not lead to any significant change in the country since the top military officials are all happily part of the regime and the looting or a civil war and guerilla campaign which is likely to last decades going by any of the other examples in the region.

All that aside, cheerleading of Abrams and Bolton in the media should be called out as well as any whitewashing or their or the US' action in South America. We all need to keep a close eye on statements from the White House and protest any hare brained schemes and interventions coming from the President or any of his bugfuck crazy advisors.

[edit] Looking at what the Twitter guy has pinned there is indeed a non-zero chance you think Guiado is a deep cover US Manchurian candidate.

the resentment (if it exists) goes both ways and would be justifiable

ames feeling of being betrayed and/or jealous of taibbi�s meteoric rise to Respectable Journalist after the exile days

taibbi having the albatross of the reality of the exile�s existence every 2 years as credulous morons ask if it�s true that ~~bob saget~~ matt taibbi raped and killed a girl in 1990; it effectively killed the tarfu report

that�s totally speculation without anything concrete to back it up, but they�re obviously not nearly as close as they once were even if the animosity might not be there

He reads like someone who either works in the foreign policy blob or thinks that relentlessly stanning for US interests online will get them a job in DC.

His twitter bio links to his wife who�s an AP journalist, I�m not going to speculate on that; however, given the very near and dear to our hearts arc of effortposter to atlantic council clearinghouse mouthpiece, I�m skeptical.

Actually, I haven't seen anything that convinces me the Iranians are there at all. The linked article references Ashoura-class and Zolfaqar-class speedboats. There's no mention of a Gashti-class or model. The only image resembling the boat pictured is linked to a dead video stream. Perhaps Gashti is a sub-type of Ashoura? We have no idea.

Either way, both patrol boats aren't exactly maritime archetypes. They're pretty generic speedboat designs adapted in specifically Iranian ways. If you can manufacture any fiberglass powerboat, you can probably knock together something that looks like the boat in the picture.

Assuming all the Iranian speedboats are even accounted for. I don't see any VIN markings on the allegedly Iranian vessel either. The US equivalent: Are we talking about the USS Cole or the USS McCain? That should be a pretty easy question to answer. Especially when you have image enough to spot a supposed limpet mine.

That's assuming the images are real at all. The special effects crew from "Enemy of the State" put together better work back in 1998.

Nope. Not buying it. I'm just as convinced US or Saudi impostors were trying to remove a mine they knew would reveal their espionage. There's absolutely no reason right now to believe one account anymore than the other. Actually, based on recent events, you can discount US and Saudi credibility quite substantially.
