TRUMP REALLY DOES PLAY 4D CHESS
George Friedman at his best.
(in our Q&A and Staff meetings this week I stated I could see a strategy behind Trump’s Blustering rhetoric. I thought it was to free up the USA to fight China, but felt there was much more going on. And so I appealed for ideas. Turns out Friedman had explained on that Monday.)

Great example of Friedman’s insights vs Zeihan’s.

THERE IS NOTHING CONFUSING AT ALL ABOUT THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION OR ITS POLICY TOWARD EUROPE
re: https://t.co/bCvnD9oKbG

There is nothing confusing at all about the american administration or its policy toward europe: “We have burned too much american blood, money, debt, competitive advantage, and the welfare of our middle and working classes carrying the international system of human rights, borders, international law, finance, transport, and trade. Meanwhile Europe evades those responsibilities, devotes resources to the nanny state, claims false virtue by doing so, and with insulting frequency (especially france) either obstructs the US, undermines it, or insults it from its adolescent pulpit of moral pretense for imperfections despite the responsibility born that europe evades”.

Germans are depopulating, but are the only people capable of scientific, technological, economic and moral leadership of europe, but France in her tradition of vanity seeks that role as much as does Russia, both out of fear their vanity is exposed and falsified – despite France retaining her african empire and being colonized by it – and Russia by Islam and east asia – a slow death compared to the rapidity of the British imperial collapse.

The US administration is effectively throwing the kids out of the house to make it on their own – for good reason: international adulthood: responsibility ending dependency.
