Halloween Activity Book: For Kids: Mazes Word Search Coloring Book
I. Can GuessArnaud BertrandWe were in Paris, watching the circus, which I guess everyone can agree with is a form of entertainment suitable for kids. Towards the end of the show my youngest daughter (3yo) was getting a bit antsy so she started moving around her seat. She wasn't noisy, just moving.

The Hell of Good Intentions: America's Foreign Policy Elite and the Decline of U.S. Primacy
Stephen M. WaltArnaud Bertrand@jeffreykaelman1 The best definition of it that I read was in Stephen Walt's book "The Hell of Good Intentions".

Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India
Shashi TharoorArnaud BertrandI jump on the opportunity of this 🔽 retweet to recommend @ShashiTharoor's excellent book on what British colonialism did to India, entitled "Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India". @TuckerCarlson would do well to read it before making further idiotic statements. https://t.co/MocluiNmdi

The Tragedy of Great Power Politics
John J. MearsheimerArnaud BertrandAre they wrong, though? You can be shocked or disgusted by Mearsheimer's geopolitical theories (or not) but it's hard to deny his predictive record of US behavior is very good. He didn't call his book "The **Tragedy** of Great Power Politics" for no reason... https://t.co/YtSTlRGPJb
