My mum took me and my sister to a Nazi/anti-nazi clash, aged 8 and 7, once. She sat us on a wall behind the police. Saw quite a bit of police violence. Oh, she was anti-Nazi side.

The fairest criticism of US foreign policy, I think, regardless of when it has or hasn't intervened, is that it is almost always terrible - uninterested, almost - at thinking about 'what happens next?'.

Ep 4 is interesting - Yeltsin ‘begging’ Clinton not to intervene in Kosovo saying he doesn’t understand the impact it will have in Russia. “In the name of the security in Europe… It is not known who will come after us.” Shortly followed by a clip of Yeltsin, with a young(ish) Putin sat behind him.

Not sure. New manager, players at different stages of fitness following the summer, need to see how they gel and keep people happy. Maybe 2 or 3 changes. You're probably right, though.
