Radio War Nerd EP 268 — Bahrain, with Aamer

Guest: Aamer, podcaster & writer Recorded: February 12, 2021 Bahrain is known to USians as "the home of the US Fifth Fleet". But you may be shocked to learn that there's more to this Persian Gulf island kingdom than floating American coffins. We talk to previous RWN guest Aamer about the history of his homeland, up through Bahrain's gruesome Arab Spring clampdown in 2011.
