1 chapters across the catalog

Matt Bracken discusses his "Hybrid Vigor" theory regarding the future of Europe and the "hardcore" nature of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He compares the IRGC to the Ottoman Janissaries—elite soldiers raised from youth for total devotion to their leader. Iran is described as a "wood chipper" that the U.S. should avoid sticking its hand into, regardless of how many civilians might oppose the regime.
