Don't agree with all his prognostications--a mix of socio/politico divination (he predicts a final confrontation between Mexico and the U.S. beginning in 2080--I think it has already begun--but some of the suppositions upon which he works are fascinating and troubling Like this one from page 29: ...it is logical to conclude that America, like Europe in the sixteenth century, is still barbaric.....It's culture is ulnformed. It's will is powerful. It's emotions drive it in different and contradictory directions. or this one p 46 Rhetoric aside, the United States has no overriding interest in peace in Eurasia. It also has no interest in winning a war outright, as with Vietnam or Korea, the purpose of these conflicts is simply to block a power or destabilize the region. Not to impose order" A prescrip for Forever war? Also he describes a war between the U.S., Japan, Poland and Turkey (!) in outer space using moon and orbital bases and hypersonic craft. This guy is head of STRATFOR, the "world's leading private intelligence and forcasting company" Not only are they planning a hundred years ahead They make money out of it. He also identifies American Grandstrategy as follows The complete domination of North America by the United States Army The Elimination of Any threat to to the United States by any power in the Western Hemisphere The complete control o the Maritime approaches to the US by the Navy in order to preclude any possibility of invasion The complete domination of the World's Oceans to further secure US Physical Safety and Guarentee control over the International Trading System The Prevention of any other nation from challenging US global Naval power | ||
