Something underrated is that Bush's vision for a democratic Middle East-unlike that of many of his Christian Right allies-included a Palestinian state.

“Mr Bush went on: "And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East'. And, by God, I'm gonna do it."” theguardian.com/world/2005/oct…

Harvey Mansfield is a legend at Harvard. For 61 years his classes were famous for being both highly demanding and oversubscribed.
Now 93, he’s released a new book The Rise and Fall of Rational Control based on his lectures from Government 1061, his signature course. That book, and this conversation with @tylercowen, begins with Machiavelli, who Mansfield credits with laying the foundation for all modern science.
0:00:00 - Machiavelli’s "Effectual Truth"
0:05:50 - Conspiracy as the basis for all politics
0:15:12 – Shakespeare and the vulgarity of democracy
0:21:12 - The future of Straussianism
0:44:58 - Why the supply of Great Books has dried up
0:49:37 - Rational control vs. spontaneous order
0:52:56 – Hearing Winston Churchill speak
0:57:20 – How students at Harvard have changed
1:02:34 – Death’s influence on politics

@CyberPunkCortes I don't think it was, which is incredible to me. I think they over learned the lessions of Midnight Hammer and Venezuela.

@GenStilicho The thing with a successful war is that you have to win it before you even start. If closing the strait and getting Gulf oil/gas infrastructure wasn’t already planned for then we have a big problem. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it was planned for and priced in or not.

Replacing the Iranian regime would serve our interests and our conflict with them is not solely the result of Israel. I just don't see that happening, and it would be disastrous for us to end up permanently "mowing the grass" while taking a sledgehammer to the global economy.

@MemnonofRhodes It's just going to be a continuous spiral of "escalate to deescalate"

@GenStilicho This just seems like a really risky idea. Maybe I'm underestimating the US, but it seems inevitable that the marines will take casualties? Is the US population ready for that?

War is very much unlike politics in that bluster and bullshit gets exposed by physical realities very quickly. I've long thought that if there was one thing that would trip Trump up badly, it would be getting into a major war; it's something that his approach is uniquely unsuited to.

"I think the war is very complete, pretty much"—Trump, ten days ago.

Remarkable story from Denmark's nat'l broadcaster. "When Danish soldiers were flown to Greenland in January...they brought explosives so they could destroy, among other things, the runways in Nuuk & Kangerlussuaq [to] prevent US mil aircraft from landing" dr.dk/nyheder/indlan…

Denmark and allies were flying in blood products and preparing for blowing up the airstrips as Trump threatened Greenland in January. Surprising no-one the 'exercise' Arctic Endurance was in fact an active operation, planned since 2025 with France, Germany and Nordics (+UK?).

During the early days of the Iran-Iraq War, Ayatollah Khomeini himself was willing to work with Israel to defeat Saddam. Israel would provide spare parts for military equipment and Iran provided intelligence on the Iraqi nuclear program to enable Israeli strikes on it.
