Mr. Landis great share as usual. Happy new year!
Leaked memo schooled Tillerson on human rights, i.e. How to use democracy promotion against US enemies where regime-change is desired outcome and not against your allies, such as KSA, Egypt, Jordan etc. Democracy too good for US allies. http://politi.co/2Benzkc via @politico

Protests in Iran happened even when Obama snobbed them,the past administration & Eu have allowed the regime to perpetrate ethnic cleansing in Syria and drug traffic on Us soil just to empower Rohani,accusing the Us for this mess is dishonest and offensive toward people who suffer

But nothing about promoting autoritarian regimes against democracy when majority of the people is against american policy such in Turkey? Even if Erdogan is now turning autoritarian himself

IMO subtle complexities when you have deeply pre-enlightenment populations likely to vote-in totalitarian theocracies. Authoritarian but secular-progressive elite govt. may be in everyone's interests.

IMO hidden mechanism is wealth transfer that empowers petrostates sufficiently to make them threats to scientific cultures. W/o wealth transfer complexifier, we'd be more inclined to let it go. Let nature take its course. Rich oil states disproportionately empowered, threatening.
