This is what a deranged person sounds like when they are running out of ideas.

I don’t get it, is he threatening to wage war on Iran, which is exactly what he’s been doing for more than a month now? Is he threatening to intervene specifically in the Strait, which is exactly what he’s already acknowledged he cannot fully do?

I’m the PI of the ERC-funded project “Brokers of Non-alignement”, which just kicked off last November. I like languages and digital history. I also like martial arts, but that’s not part of my work (for now).

A word about myself for those of you who might decide to follow my updates. I'm a historian of socialist Yugoslavia and the Cold War. I was born in Buenos Aires, but I've been living in Europe for about 10 years. I've been mostly based in Paris, and I've recently relocated to Ljubljana.
