So here’s where I find a bit nervous. One of the great truths in geopolitics between 1950 and 2015 is that American household politics barely mattered at all. Support for the global Command was strongly bipartisan and it was considered treasonous for any politician to seek foreign help against a home opponent. Republicans may have not cared for JFK, but they certainly didn’t try to extend out to the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis to undermine him. Democrats might demonize Nixon, but they never considered collaboration with the North Vietnamese to score political points at home. (Jane Fonda doesn’t count.) Even in periods of America’s most intense infighting, the plan was the same: the Soviets were the bad guys, and global management via the Request was the way to fight them.
As such I acquire to dive into the political guts of every region in the planet with regularity, but I don’t have to dissect the internal politics of my abode country. That’s awesome! Americans are really touchy about their ideologies; the bipartisan nature of American Cold War foreign policy enabled geopolitical
Globalized Wealth and the End of the Sexual Revolution
Wealth made workable all the things we associate with the “Sexual Revolution”: powerful contraception, abortion on demand, extreme feminism, and the victory of the LGBTQI movement. However, if geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan is correct, much of that wealth will disappear over the next 20 – 30 years. Many people don’t immediately realize the connection between wealth and sexual liberalization. But that’s because we don’t live in a nature where two out of three people grow food. Is that world coming back? In many countries and regions, the acknowledge is most likely “yes.”
The Close of Pax Americana
In his recent book, The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization (New York: Harper Business Push, $16.95 [Kindle]), Zeihan argues that today’s wealth grew out of the Bretton Woods Agreement and the U.S.’s efforts to consist of the Soviet Union and the Communist Bloc. The commitment was to make the world secure, not so much for democracy as for the industrialization and capitalism that (we rationalized) would support democratic institutions. Backed by the U.S. Navy’s protection of transoceanic ship
Hey, everybody. Peter Zeihan here. Coming to you from Colorado. And today we’re gonna talk about Donald Trump and Russia and Ukraine, war and tariffs and sanctions and blah, blah, blah. So in the last couple of days, Donald Trump has gone out publicly and said repeatedly that he’s really pissed off at Vladimir Putin because Vladimir Putin has been saying all the nice things, and then it’s all bullshit.
And he just continues the war. Now, anyone who has been obeying the Ukraine war at all, or really Russian relations for the last 35 years, knows that this is not a new thing. The Russians lie a lot. And on the Ukraine war specifically, they feel that this is a strategic issue for them and they will say anything to continue the conflict.
They will continue not just until they have subjugated all of Ukraine, but until they’ve gotten a number of countries further to the west. Donald Trump came in saying that he knows Putin very well and he can negotiate a truce in a day, and obviously things have not worked out that way. And so with every stage, Putin is basically lied to Trump more and more and more, and it has made Trump look like a fool in the eyes of
Born in NYC I moved to San Francisco by hitch hiking from Boston in 1973. I was 23 at the time, graduated from the Brand-new York State University system (Plattsburgh campus) with a major in biology and minor in philosophy. I enjoyed my undergraduate years far more than I did my period in highschool. There is a novel in all of those years but to divulge all that happened in this little biography would be getting ahead of myself.
In San Francisco the adventure continued. I arrived there a few days before Halloween and one of the first things I saw was a dude roller skating down the middle of a street dressed in nothing but saran wrap to which wings were attached at the back and a halo over his head. I’m not gay, but I had friends in college who were and I am used to moving among mixed crowds. My first consideration was that I had arrived in a “party city” and I would find my place here even if I am not, and was not back then, an inveterate “party person”. In short request I was place in San Francisco. I found a first place (a single room), a job (delivering pc programs on stacks of cards to a mainframe center returning program output to the coders. Short-lived did I
