Tomorrow's Show

Well, Trump managed to irk all the Democrats and a good third of his Republican base with his “end of a civilization” post threatening to rubbleize Iran if they do not re-open the Straights of Hormuz. Just as the hour approached Pakistan, right on cue, jumped in to stop the destruction.

Everyone is supposed to take a breath, stop bombing and enjoy the two week pause. Trump’s outlandish threats were not completely without historic foundation.

Persia, the progenitor of Iran, was indeed wiped out completely in the past mostly because the Persians have never done anything in good faith. Genghis Khan wanted to trade with Persia in the 1200’s and the Persians thought it would be a good idea to murder the trade envoys along with another representative. The Mongols did not think it was funny and essentially wiped out the entire country.

By the time they rebuilt, the Persians had a second run-in 160 years later with Tamerlane 160 years later. There has never been an instance where Persians have negotiated in good faith it seems. This is reflected in the last 47 years of getting nowhere with Iran. So Trump does the only thing he thinks will work: a creepy historic call back to trigger a deep seated cultural dread. This was not appreciated by the staid American Patricians like Tucker Carlson and that circle. It was amazing how butt hurt people got.

You No Agenda Show will analyze this and other current events with an injection of some historical perspective unlike any other podcast or news show out there.

A meme of a confused man looking at a spreadsheet with the text "Trying to figure out how I spent $15k on crab rangoon last year:"
An image of a man with a dog head lying on a therapist couch with the text "If my dog went to therapy"  the dog-man is saying "I've tried regulating my emotions, but barking feels more honest."
