George Friedman: On the state of the Iran US war
Many years ago, prior to Obama, I subscribed to a geopolitical news service called, Strafor. A neologism for Strategic forecasting. It was really a breath of fresh air to read. At the time it was way more than I could afford, but I made the sacrifice of other things and paid for it. And it continued to be a great source of proper news, in a way sort of like the CBC was prior to Trudeau Senior in Canada. Then along came Obama and suddenly Stratfor was just as much a propaganda organ as everywhere else.
I wasn’t the only one to notice this. According to a woman that ran a radio podcast thing I was on frequently back in the day, various high ranking US military officers had reported the same observed transformation.
The man who ran STRATFOR, George Friedman, has apparently moved on to form a new agency called Geopolitical Forecasting. I am giving it a trial run for a month to see what I think.
Here is a video interview he did on the Iran war. And yes, it is very much in the style of STRATFOR. FWIW I also read his book, The Future of War, which is a riveting read. And he explains a little in this interview what he got right and what he didn’t see coming.
For those that like rage bait, gossip level politics or the kinds of active measures that support whatever position you hold on the US Iran war, or on Israel or the US or Iran, you will be disappointed. This will feel very vanilla. Very ‘just the facts ma’am’.
Personally I find it refreshing.
