Some IR Humor for Your Friday

The Cynical Dairy Farmer’s Guide to the New Middle East: How a couple of cows explain a changing reagion.

Beginning with the old explanation of world politics based on two cows:

Socialism: You have two cows. The government takes one of them and gives it to your neighbor.

Communism: You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides you with milk.

Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes the cows.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

the author then uses cows to explain Middle East politics.
