Ah yes, the Shah of Iran, so natsukashii. /s
I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, so I've been thinking a lot about Bayesian probability. It seems like Trump being a Russian asset explains more of his actions than ignorance of foreign policy alone. Certainly, he's not given to diplomacy, and he's easy to manipulate. Certainly, he likes strongmen like Putin, Kim, and Duterte. But the constant compliments of Putin, and the fact that he tells Twitter about his plans with Russia before his own staff, I think those can only be explained if Putin has some dirt on Trump. (I mean, it's either that or the Imperius Curse.)
