I understand that linking this plays into the thesis of this article, but I just wrote a piece about how this exact phenomenon plays into the 2016 election: https://medium.com/@2016GOPImplosion/the-new-new-normal-d45f..

Not intending to trivialize the intensity of this person's lived experience by saying this, but I definitely think that this would make for an amazing short story.

This is legitimately one of the most incredible and heartbreaking stories that I have ever read.

I appreciate your evidence-based response. I was providing shorthand, but you should familiarize yourself, for instance, on Mosaddegh's use of emergency powers after his reinstatement. If you would prefer to review this history in a le

The history of US-Iranian relations is more complex than this, and Mosaddegh was also a controversial figure in Iranian history.

I agree with much of this, but history should look more closely at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.%E2%80%93Iraq_Status_of_Fo...

Good points. I think that it's probably more complete to say that "Western nations (and Russia and China and India...) cast a long, but declining, shadow across the history of the Middle East." The collapse of the post-imperi

I used to work in Middle East affairs. There is a tendency for Westerners to overstate their own importance in the Middle East, which are also informed by inter-state, intra-state and extra-regional groups and actors that are neither Europe

Usually this article is used to demonstrate cultural relativity, but I also think that it highlights the plasticity of genre conventions.

Observing that your only point of evidence is your own unsubstantiated personal opinion is not the same thing as conducting a personal attack.

Surely your decades of practical experience can instance an evidence-based response here.

Won't let me respond to the comment below this one, but China doesn't determine the volume of the secondary market for UST. It's mostly in New York and in London.
