Taking suggestions for a foreign policy-themed heavy metal band name.
I'll propose some as well as they come to mind:

Deterrence Failure
Internecine Aggression
Red Lines
Descent into Anarchy
Unholy Alliance
War of Attrition
Compel and Contain
The Gray Zone
Hybrid Aggression
Madman Theory
Anxious Retrenchment
Strategic Blunder
I hope this thread never ends.
Struggle for Supremacy
Systemic Unraveling
To everyone who has responded: WOW, you all are amazing.

I daresay that this thread may be the crowning achievement of my career thus far.

Keep the suggestions coming! 🤘

Essay, August 2018: Stations Along the Rim (...I’ll be adding some thoughts and updates to it under this thread) talisman-gate.com/2018/08/31/sta…
1. The Washington FP/NatSec establishment awoke to a sense of reprieve regarding its Middle East stature this morning with news that a residual U.S. force shall remain in Syria. However, standing up a couple of scarecrows in the desert is not a good look for a superpower.
2. Predatory forces, in this instance led by Soleimani and Erdogan, are unlikely to be deterred by this hastily assembled decoy of a 'plan'. At best, they realize its short shelf life could be measured in months, allowing it to disintegrate on its own.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇫🇷 First Minister @NicolaSturgeon is speaking now at France’s Assemblée Nationale.

📺 Watch it live here: videos.assemblee-nationale.fr/direct.7291686…
FM: It is an honour to be invited to this committee. As my remarks will make clear, Scotland and France are natural partners on many issues. In fact, one of the reasons for my visit to your great city was to launch, yesterday, the new Scottish Government office here in Paris.
FM: That is an important development for us. It represents a commitment, not only to France, but also to Scotland’s role as an outward facing European nation.

It also perhaps overdue. After all, France was the very first country to establish a consulate in Scotland.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

I have long argued 1991 was a pivotal year for modern music. Allow me to explain why in this Friday feel-good #thread. #TheYearWas1991
For many genres, 1991 was a watershed moment. The albums released in that year often represent the start of a whole new generation of music. #TheYearWas1991
In this thread I aim to demonstrate how the music released in 1991 is still relevant today, either as parts of the public consciousness, cultural reference, or even as music still played on radio, TV, and probably on your computer or smartphone. #TheYearWas1991

Giant thread on why why traditional taxonomy is awesome - and why morphological and observational knowledge is becoming even MORE important in the genomics era (thread will be updated all week)
I'm running a workshop this week @HarteResearch @tamucc_cose and hearing lectures from world expert taxonomists about their favorite animals. So cool to hear these scientists nerd out about obscure marine species!
Taxonomy is the adult equivalent of being a kid at the beach, with a shovel and bucket, and then digging through the sand so see what cool stuff you find. Except we (scientists) have fancier equipment like high-power microscopes.
