What this episode covers

Guest: Gabriel Uriarte, fellow history nerd Recorded March 11, 2018 PORTUGAL—One of the big surprises in the Syrian war has been the poor performance of Turkey's military, in its 2016 incursion, and in the recent incursion into Afrin. The War Nerd talks to former Argentine journalist now living in the US, Gabriel Uriarte, about how militaries decay or revitalize. Uriarte draws on his knowledge of Argentina's military decay leading up to its disastrous war in the Falklands to shed light on the structural and institutional reasons for military decay in other cultures like Turkey's. . . At 2:00:25 the Nerd and Ames look at current war news: US sellout of Syrian Kurds officially beginning . . . Skripal poisoning . . . Liberal freakout over Trump agreeing to talk to Kim Jong-Il . . . Saudis attack "triangle of evil" . . .
