AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA

In this seventy five minute discussion, whose most significant content emerges during their second half hour-plus, especially with regard to what they call the far east — and is really the far west vis-a-vis USA — Stephen Kotkin most stands out for knowing his stuff, getting it right, and making it clear.

Kotkin uses the phrase Judeo-Bolsheviks once only and no one picks it up.  But clearly he means the usage as salient to the discussion, which at that point is about East-West geo-strategics rather than merely why did who do what and to whom at Tehran and Yalta.

I think the phrase is a basket holding deplorables few dare to wash up and hang out in view to dry.   Haganah and Irgun were not one-off terrorist organizations cum economy-replacers generated by idolatrous religious practice and bereft of strategic ambition beyond a sliver of warm coastal real estate.
