Comment preview: This is what I imagine: It's TSM vs Samsung Blue in the finals. The record is 2-2 and the energy in the air before game 5 is absolutely electric. The teams are tense; the crowd even moreso. The teams are preparing for champ select when the crowd goes silen ....

Comment preview: I can't really answer your larger question, but one specific example of what you're asking about occurred in Iran in 1953. The CIA overthrew a democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, who was poised to usher in a new era of government by ....
Comment preview: It could be argued that the Revolution betrayed Arnold long before Arnold returned the favour. Arnold was consistently competent and yet was passed over time and again for accolades and awards, often even having his accomplishments claimed by braggarts wit ....
Comment preview: The Shah was terribly brutal. If his police caught you with any Russian book (he was afraid of communism) you were taken away, and probably never seen again. In 1953 the people of Iran elected their own prime minister Mossadegh. The Shah went into exile i ....

Comment preview: > Their coup isn't as power grabbing as you make it out to be though Their coup is absolutely power-grabby and unjustified, positioned when it is and with the facts the Jedi actually have. > Dark side of the force they already had suspicion that Palp ....
Comment preview: From an American perspective, I'd say the CIA-staged coups in Guatemala and Iran in the 50's under President Eisenhower. But especially the one in Iran. It totally gives context for the sentiment felt in the middle east towards Americans (and Brits/the wes ....
Comment preview: Someone already said something to this effect, but I'm going to repeat it: while this is a lovely read, it really doesn't/shouldn't apply to ANY modern couple outside of extremely religious communities. All relationships go through these stages (regardless ....

Comment preview: It's easy for Marines to say this when comfortably pondering the situation, but it wouldn't be nearly this simple in actuality. They would be given information stating that the protesters were going to throw the country into chaos, that they were violating ....
Comment preview: I knew Romania tried to be neutral but basically played the "oh, looks like Germany's gonna win, we should ally with them" card, but I didn't know the extent. Quite interesting actually: > In summer 1940, a series of territorial disputes were resolved ....

Comment preview: Your take: uneducated horny Thai guys pissed off at western plumbers fucking their women. My take: it's closer to being about money. Thaksin subsidised the farming areas quite heavily in his time as PM. Yellow shirts (who pay much of the tax that runs th ....
Comment preview: Just so everybody knows, Project Cybersyn was the result of the Chilean government's, well, complete rejection of the Soviet style command-and-control approach to economics. Cybersyn was the result of a project to find an alternative means to run the econo ....
Comment preview: A highly qualified and intelligent politician with an open ear for the struggle of the lower class gets disillusioned when the fact sinks in that total power will one day be given to the bratty and prejudiced son of the current ruler, a man who has banned ....
Comment preview: The *velociraptor* stage. Most people go through that in primary school, but not me. There I was in Grade 9, using my binocular vision to stalk prey through locker rooms and leaping from ambush points in the bushes to disembowel fellow students with my sic ....
