Breakfast, the cold war and MbS makes a new friend — our TBR for 7 August 2017

New additions to our TBR pile this morning:

  • Saudi Crown Prince and U.A.E. Heir Forge Pivotal Ties: A desert camping trip helped cement a friendship seen as central to a shift in Saudi policies. (Wall Street Journal)
  • U.S. troops train in Eastern Europe to echoes of the Cold War: “The United States Army is scrambling to relearn Cold War-era skills to confront potential threats from Russia here in Eastern Europe.” (New York Times)
  • The men who trade [Daeshbag] loot: The middlemen who buy and sell antiquities looted by Islamic State from Syria and Iraq explain how the smuggling supply chain works. (Wall Street Journal)
  • How to eat breakfast like a fitness expert. (Esquire, which we’re finally considering forgiving for firing the amazing David Granger)

(TBR = “to-be-read” pile. Our storage medium of choice for articles: Pocket, though Safari’s Reading List function has gotten fairly powerful)
