I still can’t believe they declared war at 3am on a Friday night, like they’re gonna bury it at the end of the news cycle like a bad jobs report.

He’s setting himself up to pass the blame onto the protesters when there isn’t a revolution.

I see him as a guy who’s trying to stay in the good graces of too many opposing camps at the same time, so he doesn’t really have a consistent world view. I guess I’d try to pin him down on what he actually believes.

105 million divided between the NDI, IRI, and direct grants and then further subdivided into projects in a hundred different countries.

Going to the Nuremberg rally but shaking my head the whole time so C-SPAN knows I don’t approve.

That might just be because I’m not very active.

Their oil is the cheapest to produce, so they control the price floor in a way other producers don't.

No, still haven’t seen it. I might try it if you recommend it.

I guess the way to think about it is as a continuous cycle of progress and backlash to decolonization going back to the First World War. Rather than something that happened once.

The Golden Idol games are on console, but I don’t know how well they play there.

I think it depends where you live. Where I am with fees and tips one starter plus one entree comes out to $40 pretty easily.

If someone was a hawk in 2009 that’s probably more a sign of partisanship than a principled belief in hard money. So Trump is probably making the right decision.

No, they’re bad. No citations, no analysis, just a kind of unordered list of anecdotes of bad things that happened.

I cannot think of a bigger indictment of the foreign-policy commentariat that they either cannot recognize this or that they are too scared to say it in print.

It’s more generally about how the left changed in response to the Vietnam war and why that led to weird conspiracy theories like Bosnian genocide denial. With Chomsky as a sort case-study.

There’s an outline for a script for a video based on stuff I cut out of the β€œPutin’s Madness” video

I think this might be the first case of someone who opposed the Iraq war in 2003 lying to make their record more hawkish, instead of the other way around.

Right, the problem is the threat doesn’t exist, but the image of one is what neoliberals are clinging to. Hoping to be bailed out by it.

That’s what the war mobilization is for

That’s not true, they have Hitler. A foreign threat that embodies evil that will tribalistically mobilize the country around their values without needing to persuade anyone.
