Melani McAlister @melanimca.bsky.social · 13/12/2024A few days ago, I got to talk to about Promises, Then the Storm, plus US-ME relations more generally, with the super-neat Liam Heffernan for the podcast America: A History. The show comes out in Jan. Of course, already some things have changed: e.g. governments overthrown & new bombing campaigns. 000
