what you're afraid of probably won't kill you, and people need to go places and meet people who they might be afraid of to realize, hey, that wasn't so bad. it's also about trust and respect. not going native exactly but kinda like lawrence of arabia. pack light but having some stuff to give away like american cigarettes helps. you know you've made it when the guy you're with says "if your life is ever at risk, it won't be until all of my men are dead."

please do not ask me about my closet full of custom-tailored dashikis that i will never, ever wear stateside

MBS probably sees this as an excuse to hit back at Turkey after Erdogan backed Qatar and leaked the info about Jamal Khashoggi's murder.

it's not like the dude getting iced in turkey wasn't a black eye for erdogan either, it's been tit-for-tat for awhile

im hoping this conflict will be over as quick as it started with no major gains by either side, and i think that's the most likely outcome.

then again maybe this somehow blooms into WWIII with turkey drawing in the NATO powers (minus the US for the first three years) and Russia and China dumping their entire GDP into military production over a scrap of inarable land between two seas you forgot about.

as for picking sides, who cares?

your middle sentence answers your question, this won't blow up

hopefully Armenia can counter that threat, if they can’t it could embolden the Turks and Azeris instead of getting them to the peace table.

Why were they lovely on that subject? Seems odd

I can see why after the holocaust, but I'd like to read about why they were dismissive before 1945. Is it because the armenian church was big in Jerusalem?

After 1948 I can understand. When I was in Israel, nobody will tell you that Roma, gays and communists died in the holocaust. It's real weird
