    Fascsinating scoop by that Netanyahu rejected an Omani initiative for Israel-Iran talks 7 yrs ago. Most interesting question: Why are in-the-know Israelis leaking this super-secret story today?

    A neat trick to write this whole pious intellectual exercise without ever specifying 1) whether you actually think the president did what he was accused of, or 2) whether what he did was wrong.

    15 years ago in graduate school I made a bet with a classmate that the EU would still exist largely as is in 2020. He could make a decent case - but was arrested with the “fine people” at Charlottesville. The world has gone mad.
