Reminds me of the character Phillip from “Braveheart,” whom Prince Edward named his high counselor.

Phillip said to the king, “I am skilled in the arts of war and military tactics, Sire.”

And then he was defenestrated.

Wiki =>

In 1969, the elder Malley moved his family - including son Robert - to France, where he founded the magazine Africasia (later known as Afrique Asia), which gave voice to the causes of the newly independent states such as Algeria and Egypt, and to liberation struggles throughout the world.

The Malleys were vehemently anti-Israel and counted Yasser Arafat as a personal friend.

The elder Malley was anti-western and supported the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan, the Cuban intervention in Angola and Ethiopia, the seizure of American hostages in Iran, the Algerian-backed guerrilla war in southern Morocco, and the Arab opposition to Israel and the Camp David agreements.
