Waiting for Catastrophes

The United States is notionally pulling its troops out of Afghanistan at the same time as it seems to be deepening its commitment to military action against China.

If they want a war, they might get a war.

Concern over UK-based Iranian TV channel’s links to Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia Sought Vice’s Help to Build a Media Empire:

Some journalists at Iran International have complained that management is pushing a pro-Saudi, anti-Iran line at the 24-hour channel, which broadcasts via satellite to the Middle East, Europe and the U.S., and can be viewed in Iran.

Saudi Arabia is making “a systematic and very persistent push in a new direction in the media sphere,” said Negar Mortazavi, Iran International’s former Washington correspondent, who left the organization last year. “The Saudis want influence and credibility, and are paying a lot for it.”
