Notes from Dr. Borkosky

As objectives, the US seeks regional stability, the unhampered production and delivery of petroleum products from the region, and, increasingly, support for efforts to restrict extremist groups, particularly in ungoverned areas. (Important also, I guess, to define what we mean by stability, which is a depoliticised way of framing it – stability in this case meaning primarily regime stability in those countries aligned with US interests. We had the firepower to destroy every building in Anbar, but what good would it do us? I’d regard it as highly suggestive evidence. We find military governments in Egypt easier to deal with — less hypocrisy needed on their part.

To-morrow’s Silence, Triumph, or Despair: We chose IBM's WAS CE over other development platforms like JBoss because of their level of support and ongoing involvement and commitment to open source.”.

@Ronan (re Cambodia) I misattributed to you a comment suggesting you were older than it appears you are. He has also recently weighed in on the evolution of man, the latest discoveries about black holes by University of North Carolina professor Laura Mersini-Houghton[,] and the work of British scientist Stephen Hawking. Normally there’s a tension that people like to draw in between idealism and realism. When a militarily powerful country tries to govern the affairs of millions of people on the other side of the planet, we shouldn’t be surprised that chaos results …. The jailed red shirt leaders whom Mr Chaiwat did not identify did not immediately respond to his request and asked to consult with their UDD colleagues first. I’ll step back from ‘idiotic in the extreme’ and instead say, I disagree. The poor taste of the common man in America is a commodity carefully cultivated by PR professionals, and that cultivation is not effectively opposed. A long time ago somebody (Kurt Vonnegut?) The US did not cause the Arab Spring, or the fall of Mubarak, or the rise of Morsi or the fall of Morsi, or the rise of Sisi. It’s not precisely an absurd concept, but it does not resemble the American neo-imperial concept as actually implemented. GET BREAKING NEWS IN YOUR BROWSER. But let’s not ignore that killing ISIS members is like killing Nazis: a stand against barbarism and for humanity.”, Killing people is violent – so then this is a circular argument indeed. As a minor addendum, and as I recall, it was taken by the Carter administration, then the Reagan administration did a u-turn. I read somewhere we killed something like 35

The reference to “eradicating a cancer” was also unnecessary; this just inflames things and serves no real purpose, even if one agrees w Obama’s (debatable) statement in the same speech that ISIS is “unique in its brutality.” The stuff about “America’s blessings imposing enduring burdens” (close paraphrase, not verbatim) was just boilerplate ‘exceptionalist’ rhetoric, which for some reason his speechwriters thought necessary, but it wasn’t. As an obvious example, it implies yet another reconquest of Fallujah. “Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.”, Watson Ladd,

A research report from Evans Data found that WAS CE gained share nearly three times as fast as JBoss in 2006 and the Java EE 5 certification can help IBM extend that leadership.

If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter;for there will always better as well as worse than yourself. When we get into these situations where it isn’t at all obvious that we should be supporting either side, we start getting atrocity stories that tell us the side that is closer to fitting our interests is getting atrocitied by the horrible guys. Posted by CAAI News Media. roger gatham @ https://crookedtimber.org/2014/10/07/yesterdays-enemies-todays-allies-and-tomorrow/#comment-573552. Unfortunately this is rarely acknowledged. A policy of washing our hands of the whole situation , or creating a foreign policy solely on some dogmatic definition of ‘national interests’, doesnt strike me as meaningful.

It is also considering whether to take the case to the International Court of Justice against the Abhisit government with the help of Robert Amsterdam, a lawyer of deposed former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Genocide, Latin American popular estrangement from the US, drugs, migration, gangs – all in part consequences of uncritical foreign policy establishment support for US grifters in Central America. The US isn’t doing much to help matters, but they would be all screwed up regardless.

Support Your Local Sheriff Stream, The gifts of weapons from Riyadh and Tehran are just part of a slew of current arms deals in the region, estimated to be worth more than $US50 billion.

So, any nation or sect that gains ascendancy is bound to be seen as a dangerous enemy, and the obvious policy solution is to ally with the enemy’s enemy.

I think you’re right, although as always concerning predicting what things would be like if they had gone different we must use a lot of guesswork.

It’s all messy and tangled up in various ways, but I suppose it’s more convenient to talk about the fantasy of American imperialism (with off-putting “exterminate all the brutes”-style dream scenarios occasionally bursting forth) rather than engage with the reality of American impotence. And we didn’t.

guy who was investigating the Mafia and having trouble finding stuff, who looked around at all the American-Italian people who claimed to have indirect Mafia connections, and the people who dressed gangster-chic etc, who said “Sometimes I wonder whether there’s any such thing as the Mafia, or if it’s all just a bunch of guys pretending.”, Sometimes I meet people who quote Rush Limbaugh, who give subtle signs that they are just pretending.

So, any nation or sect that gains ascendancy is bound to be seen as a dangerous enemy, and the obvious policy solution is to ally with the enemy’s enemy.

Humour And Pathos In Dream Children-a Reverie,

The move against Maliki was to try to get Sunni tribes on board to move against ISIS (and potentially buy into any future Iraqi government) The US is still supporting the rebels against Assad , just also against ISIS and other Jihadi elements. The Iraqi The bitterness against the Democrats can be detected in the speech given to the yellow shirt protesters by Sondhi Limthongkul, PAD co-leader and media tycoon, on Thursday night.

A rich and militarily powerful country has taken it upon itself to govern the affairs of millions of people on the other side of the planet, of whom it knows nothing. A kind of proto Peckinpah anti-hero, he'll commit war crime for the greater good of the operation.....but he'll risk his life to save men he's never civil to. Tragically, we’ve not learned a thing from any of them and keep repeating those mistakes. But, I am convinced that it would likely be even longer and bloodier if the West continues to meddle. (As I say though, Ive no real knowledge of Turkish politics, so dont know anything about the domestic electoral/coalitional/elite politics involved). Some liberals respond to him, which maybe distracts them from something important. We make our decisions based on what we know at the time of making them.

ZM: Yes, they respond with violence. The whole Egyptian army consists basicly of targets. I do. But exporters are even more dependent on the oil trade than importers. The idea that the US will just ‘do nothing’ also seems impossible, politically. The US Marines never accomplished a whole lot there, given their ROE. If ascetic religious fanatics who don’t want foreign goods started ruling major oil exporters, they could shut down exports and leave the rest of the world to cope with the energy shock.
