…nor a gentleman
John McCain is a murderer, a traitor and bounder. I'd say ask his former wife on the last but she has a bit too much class to dish. With such a record, one would think he would attempt to redeem himself with good manners. What a gentleman. What a jackass.

5/20/21 Gareth Porter on the Increasing Power Shift Toward Hard-Liners in Iran
Scott talks to Gareth Porter about the national political scene in Iran, where, in large part thanks to U.S. intervention, the population is increasingly aligning behind the most conservative forces, and moving away from President Rouhani. Iranians, Porter says, have very little trust that America will negotiate in good faith, and there is now less support than ever for the JCPOA, which the Biden administration is supposedly trying to renegotiate.
Discussed on the show:
- “Leak Exposes Fissures in Iranian Establishment and Power Shift to Hard-Liners” (Consortium News)
Gareth Porter is an investigative historian and journalist on the national security state. He is the author of Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare and, with John Kiriakou, The CIA Insider’s Guide to the Iran Crisis.
