We suspected, but one former Reaganite has a late attack of contrition since former Pres Jimmy Carter’s announcement that he’s in hospice care. Damn Reagan.

I lived through & remember the #ColdWar #Watergate #Vietnam, #IranContra #MayDay #Iraq #911 #Afghanistan & can’t remember a time when our country has been so unhinged. But of course now almost an entire political party is unAmerican.

My video on the Iran-Contra scandal is slowly defying the YouTube algorithm and climbing in views. It's a very in-depth look at a fantastically complicated event. And it matters in American history. Take a look, there's nothing else quite like it on der YouTübez if I say so myself. #history #histodons #irancontra #1980s

@toomas_ilves Allow me to amend my previous post. Eliot A. Cohen is indeed the neocon who advocated fervently for the US invasion of Iraq. However, my comments about Iran-Contra & lyng to Congress apply not to Cohen, but to Elliot Abrams, a right wing monstrosity of a different era. I apologize for my confusion.

@toomas_ilves Is that the same Eliot Cohen who was an ardent champion of the US invasion of Iraq & was convicted of lying to Congress about US aid to the Contras under Reagan? I support Ukraine in its resistance to clear Russian aggression & am no expert on the policies of Scholz & Macron. I just question the standing of Eliot Cohen (if I have the right guy here) to make such criticisms of anyone else.

So, it's finally done! Here is my long, in-depth historical video on the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s. I hope this video will explain and deconstruct one of the most difficult problems in recent history. Bookmark it and work your way through it bit by bit. Fun and interesting to make!
