maybe the west would have committed more against the soviets if they weren’t also up to similar things in Ireland, turkey, Egypt, Hungary…

isn’t his original thesis (from ep1 or 2 or so) that despite the revolutions the same people end up in charge? which is about most stupidly reductive reading of the english and french revs and not much else.

my own reductive take is that foreign conservative intervention makes things worse for everyone, which I can apply to more than 2 revolutions please subscribe to my podcast

Can anyone recommend a good history of the Korean War? I just started listening to the when diplomacy fails podcast and... Yikes.

It starts off by talking about drat crazy the north Koreans are making nukes in the 21st century.

Then we get into the cold war primer about how Stalin was too paranoid and made a terrible mistake by not accepting the Marshall plan. Naturally this plan was in good faith and with no strings attached.

I had no idea that the Marshall plan was even offered to the soviets, does anyone know why they turned it down?

E: the Korean War was apparently mostly Stalins fault because he wanted China to fight the us. Hovever the host graciously allows thay the US was also looking to benefit from the conflict before it started..

may not be “good” but season 3 of Blowback is starting in the next few weeks about Korea.
for reference s1 was the story of how the US hosed Iraq and s2 was how the US hosed cuba

We propped up the harlequin corpse of the British Empire as long as was possible and we're the only reason they're not operating on the same level as Togo or Kyrgyzstan. American support is the only reason, by the way.

American-style:
Fork in left, knife in right, cut off a piece of food for consumption
Lay down knife to indicate that you're a civilized person not about to attack other dinner guests
Transfer fork to your right, and stab the food before showing it in your face
Transfer fork to your left, and pick up the knife again for more cutting

this cannot be real
