00:10.59ldav15jlp_znc: I wonder if history will remember the "First Gulf War" as 1990-1991 or 1990-2011 or 1990-2014+.  Tacking the Iran-Iraq War it could be even longer 1980-2014+.
00:15.43jlp_zncldav15: yeah, I guess I never thought about it that way.  I think of it as desert shield -> desert storm
00:16.02jlp_zncso 1990-1991
00:18.09jlp_znca friend and former co-worker of mine was in the navy and deployed to the gulf on the USS Ranger (a non-nuclear aircraft carrier)
00:18.48jlp_zncas he put it, he spent most of the war collecting urine samples from crew members for drug testing :-/
00:19.56jlp_znc"so what did you do in the war, daddy?"  (actually, he never had any kids, so that would never happen)
00:20.57jlp_zncahh, bmurdock is not on channel... he also knows the same friend and worked with him at a different company.

01:05.29Volkardldav15, Dont think it will
01:06.08VolkardYou can continue reducing conflicts in that area furthere why just stop there?
01:06.12Volkardtrace it back to ottoman times
01:07.17Volkardor babylonian times
01:07.40Volkardas long as we're generalizing
01:08.49ldav15Volkard: The US wasn't involved in either Ottoman times or Babylonian times.
01:09.11Volkardright
01:09.24jnbekwell if you really want to get technical, humanity has been in a state of war since before history was kept. History in itself came as a way to keep track of who was killing who
01:10.00jnbekyou can't find one period in history where someone wasn't at war with someone

01:11.39jnbekjlp_znc: iirc, the USS Ranger was the last of the original yorktown class ships in commission
01:11.58jnbekdidn't get the press that Enterprise CV7 or Hornet ( either one ) got
01:12.02jnbekbut it was there too
01:12.35jnbekoop nope
01:12.46jnbekRanger CV4 was decommed in 46
01:13.21jnbekalso s/CV7/CV6/
01:13.25jnbekfingers need a diet
01:13.30Volkardldav15, but the US had quite warm relations , to say on the least, with saddam even before the war broke out
01:13.39Volkardeven after he nationalized its oil in 1975
01:13.52jnbekaye, cuz he hated Iran more than we did :-P
01:14.08Volkardalso, they were strogly backing the pahlavi Shan of iran

01:14.14Volkardwho was staunchly pro-west.
01:14.35Volkardthe CIA had stopped collecting their own intelligence because the relationship was so good
01:14.43Volkardthey started relying entirely on the Shah's SAVAK
01:14.51Volkardoh
01:15.01Volkardand of course they already had strong relations in that region with the Saudis
01:15.12jnbek:D
01:15.19jnbeka history buff I see
01:15.21VolkardARAMCO
01:15.28Volkardarab american oil corp
01:15.30Volkardor something like that
01:19.01Volkardldav15, , the US has been meddling in that region since at least the 50s
01:26.02Volkardjnbek, love history
01:26.35jnbekaye, we pretty much picked up the meddling for the British when they couldn't afford to meddle there anymore
01:29.25Volkardyep
01:29.25jnbekthe difference really is, Britain just made the attempt to directly rule the areas. We just 'occupy'
01:29.35Volkardwho discovered the oil?
01:29.36Volkardthe brits
01:29.37VolkardBP
01:29.39jnbekyep
01:29.45ldav15Definitely BP.
01:30.16Volkardin iraq specifically in 53 it was BP
01:30.23Volkardiraq-kuwaity
01:30.26Volkardkuwait
01:30.31Volkardthat shared oil field
01:31.04VolkardRumaila/Ratqa
01:31.13Volkardit shares a border
01:31.19jnbekyea, but the Brits had wells already in Iraq back in 32... it's why they fought so hard against the Grand Mufti and his guys in 42, was to protect that oil
01:31.45jnbekthe Germans had eyes on that oil too
01:32.16jnbekand the Mufti was willing to  give to them to be rid of the Brts

01:34.37Volkardsykes pecot agreement gave them control to massive swathes of ex-ottoman territory stretching from oil fiends in iran to mediteranean
01:34.49Volkardand they had, ultimately unrealized, plans for pipelines
01:37.40jnbekyep, all that mess laid the groundwork for all this bs today..

01:47.35Volkardjnbek, ldav15 jlp_znc
01:48.02jnbektoo many to list... lol
01:49.54jnbekanything WW2 really, WW1, the interwars, name an era in Europe or Asia... My g'pa was in the Navy in ww2, so we watched every movie about that came on the TV when I was growing up.

01:50.04jnbekHistory has always fascinated me
01:50.49VolkardI majored in Asian history
01:51.09VolkardThe big 3 particularly
01:51.26VolkardChina, Japan and Korea
01:51.29jnbekaye
01:52.07Volkardfeel free to ask anything about asian history ;D
01:52.15jnbekI didn't really go to school for it, I would just hit the libraries and get books and just read.
01:52.48jnbekmost of the time in school, by the time we got to the history class, I already knew all the stuffs about the subject.
01:53.33VolkardMy specialties are asian economics, military, culture, daily life, art & music, as well as geopolitics.
01:54.10jnbekand I'm the jerk that ruins movies for everyone, like pointing out that the Huns were in East Asia in the ~200s and that it couldn't have been the Huns in Mulan... that it would have had to have been Gengis Khan based off the use of fireworks
01:54.12ldav15I like history, but there's a whole lot I don't know about it.  I like old stuff.  Middle Ages.  Byzantium.
01:56.46Volkardjnbek, I dont ruin it for everbody, just myself :) as for Mulan, well it's more legend than anything else but obviously a very famous and important one artistically speaking and literature wise.
01:57.14Volkardbut there are examples of women fighters in the east.
01:57.34jnbekVolkard: aye... I speak facetiously with regard. but, yea, I notice little things like that. lol
01:57.40Volkardin chinese history theres a famous vietnamese rebellion arond 40AD where 2 sisters led an uprising against the Han
01:57.56*** join/#utah josephscott (~josephsco@192.0.65.252)
01:59.15Volkardbut the chinese really fought the huns around 150 BC
01:59.22Volkardthere is a lot of debate
01:59.31jnbekyea
01:59.34Volkardwhether Xiongu are really related to the Huns
01:59.35Volkardor not
01:59.56jnbekyea when you get back to those days, it's so hit and miss due to the lack of literacy
02:00.04jnbekalot of heresay and such
02:00.22jnbekor one sided opinions from the literate culture being ravaged by the other
02:02.03Volkardno
02:02.10Volkardits not cracpot stuff
02:02.19Volkardlike gavin menzies
02:02.31Volkardits just doesnt have much to support it
02:02.42Volkardpretty much the entire argument rests on a phonetic link of their names
02:02.49Volkardwhich are exogenous
02:03.25Volkardits not impossible, but its speculation
02:03.32jnbekwell, yea, I wasn't disputing the theory
02:03.50Volkardfrom language perspective I can understand it
02:04.05Volkardbecause its very reasonable to say that Hun or Xiong could be cognates by way of loans, but its not worth much
02:04.26Volkardin chinese sources, the 2 names that come up for the Han era barbarians to the north are Xiongnu and Xun Yu
02:04.39jnbekyep, totally
02:05.05Volkardif an outside group didnt speak a sinitic language, the chinese would still use characters to record their endonym
02:05.18Volkardso its not sdtetch to say xiongnu and xunyu are the same people.
02:06.00Volkardhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huns#Traditional_Xiongnu_theory
02:06.13VolkardThis part of Peter Heather sums it well:
02:06.15VolkardThe ancestors of our [4th century European] Huns could even have been a part of the [1st century] Xiongnu confederation, without being the 'real' Xiongnu. Even if we do make some sort of connection between the 4th century Huns and the 1st century Xiongnu, an awful lot of water has passed under an awful lot of bridges in the three hundred years' worth of lost history.
02:09.08jnbekinteresting..
02:09.19jnbekknows what he's doing after work this evening...
02:09.50Volkardwhats that? :D
02:10.25Volkardits one of those things that people want to be true ;)
02:10.29jnbekstudying up on first century China/Mongolia and surrounding environs :D
02:10.39jnbekbe nice to fill in all these gaps I have in my Asian history as well.
02:11.21Volkardfeel free to ask me anything on the subject
02:11.33Volkardits my expertise plus I have a lot of really good reference books here
02:13.28jnbekcount on it :)
