Not super related but a fun fact is that the PKK as it exists today owes a lot to the DFLP. This is an excellent story about the entwinement of the two national struggles which defined the region in the 20th century.
By this logic, the US has been at war with Iran since 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mohammed Mossadegh to ensure that western oil companies, and not the Iranian people, controlled Iranian oil. It’s brutal puppet the Shah tortured & killed for 25 years. That’s why they chanted DEATH TO AMERICA in 1979
Woosah
Self interest is short sighted. Chag Sameach.
Really can't be left unacknowledged that every single state in the region that houses US military personnel, except for maybe two, do so against the will of the supermajority of their own public's opinion but it does not matter because most of these states are US backed dictatorships.

• Another person fact-checks/edits
• Reporter reviews

One thing I'll say: as a journalist, you've probably undervalued your own skills because you're surrounded by people with similar skills. You're probably great at writing and digesting complex information, which many people are not!
Leaving journalism, going back to school, and starting a new career in a new field was really hard. But I'm grateful I did it. If you're a journalist thinking about a new career, I'd be happy to talk, break down my experiences for you.
Let's gooooooooooooooo

this is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway
JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class
