Radio War Nerd EP163—Syria War Withdrawal, Betraying Kurds (Again) + 2018 In Review

Recorded: December 29, 2018 We always knew the betrayal would come, and here it is: Trump announces US withdrawal from Syria war, and DC neocon crocodile tears started flowing for Rojava Kurds, and blue state liberals are now the outraged militarists they once pretended at least to oppose . . . We also review Michael Weiss's weird twitter meltdown, described by Ames as a "a neocon Finnegans Wake" . . . A weird ending to a very weird & nasty year . . . At 1:40:00 the Nerd & Ames look back at a great year in War Nerd episodes . . . Books cited: "A Brutal Friendship" by Said Aburish; "Poisoning The Press: Richard Nixon, Jack Anderson, and the Rise of Washington's Scandal Culture" by Mark Feldstein; "Our Friends from Frolix 8" by Philip K. Dick. Total time: 2:37:04
