  • Awesome!

    I love George Friedman’s geopolitical analyses! He really helps me understand what is going on in the world and why. The key word is the “why.” He cuts through the constant noise of the media and social media to deliver a clear analysis of what is happening in the world. Bravo, George. I love the podcast and will soon be subscribing again once I have more time to read the brilliant analyses published by GPF.

  • Well done but far too partisan

    Beautiful topics, well executed but more a piece of political propaganda for the right wing thinkers rather than an independent perspective on the world

  • You talk about people as if they are a historical phenomena. The folks that are tending towards "nationalism" don't see themselves that way. They see themselves as a folk of today and with living interests. Not an historical people of yesterday. The leaders seem to thank that the people of their countries, in Europe, don't matter in them selves.
