  1. @ I’ve been back and forth across the Atlantic so many times that I couldn’t count, dating back to the 1970s. I’m also a student of Viking history and have been interested in Greenland for generations, so at least with me, your assumption isn’t accurate. I’ve also been to Denmark and most other nations in Europe. My mom is from Finland where I have also lived many times.

  2.  @olivesama  No the US interests in Greenland are strategic. Pull up a map of the NORAD air defense intercept zones (ADIZ). You will see a more correct perspective from the North Pole, Showing the regional threats, ocean routes, and why control of Alaska and Greenland are so critical to the United States strategic defense posture.

  3. @olivesama  I brought up the natives because Denmark thought that they were in a position to negotiate. The seismic shift that has happened over the past 50 to 60 years has been that the Canadian Parliament has refused to fund the Royal Canadian Air Force to the appropriate levels that it needs to maintain its basic NORAD mission requirements. To illustrate that, they can't pilot 50% of their broken CF-18 Hornet Fleet, which was purchased in the early 1980s. Those birds are literally clapped out. They would have had F-35s already had Trudeau and the Canadian Parliament stuck to their 1997 commitment. Part of Canada's commitment to the F-35 program involved them getting over a 100 companies manufacturing F-35 parts, which is great for Canadian jobs in their typically non-productive eastern region. They basically left our Northern Corridor undefended in an era where Putin and Xi have declared the Arctic as their own.

  4. With a Russian puppet in the WH (Biden), he can be counted on to not retaliate, which gives Putin freedom of maneuver to find out if his tactical nukes work.

  6. It's interesting that Peter never has mentioned the fact that Trump negotiated more Middle Eastern peace deals in his first 4 years......than all US Presidents combined. For someone who is so well informed about geopolitics, he is unable to allow himself to see the ground truth, even with something so extreme and out of the ordinary for a US President. It's one of Peter's most intentional, grotesque oversights. He was known for being very dispassionate prior to Trump 2017.

  9.  @morstyrannis1951  How many black neighborhoods does Canada have? If you look at a crime rate by county map of the US, you see right away what the problem is. It isn’t because Canadians are inherently superior to the US, and much of Canada’s medical devices and infrastructure come from the US. The 2 Nations are effectively the same country in many aspects, especially when it comes to security, trade, industry, and infrastructure.

  10.  @mnorth1351  There is no invasion or military action. Stop listening to corporate hyperbole. This is madness. Trump is opening the conversation in his way of disrupting the norms, so that people are more than happy to settle for his actual propositions. Read The Art of the Deal, or watch his Larry King interview if you’re lazy.

  11. UAE had their own F-16E/F Desert Falcons developed specifically for them. Unit cost was over $200 million each, whereas an F-35A is $77.9 million. UAE went all-out on the F-16E/F, even got their own engine for it from GE with 32,000lb thrust. Test pilots who worked on other test programs said it was the most smoothly-run fighter they had ever been involved with for the development cycle, mainly because the Pentagon wasn’t really involved. It was just Lockheed and UAE working together.

  12. ​ @adamlee2550 France has laws against recording or reporting their demographics because the North African Arabs have been reproducing exponentially, while French murder their future in the womb. France is poised to be the epicenter of one of many ethnic-based civil wars in Europe in the near future, not taking more of a leadership role in a stable continent. This is true in Germany, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland as well. Countries like Poland and Hungary have refused to adopt the self-destructive immigration policies of Western Europe, and their economic growth and stability will continue to serve as an example of what could have been to the others. Europe is headed for Civil War based on the trajectory set over the post-WWII generations.

  13. ​ @festekj When Peter was with STRATFOR, they frequently had panel discussions with opposing viewpoints discussed professionally. The "China is taking over" position was represented by chief Asian studies specialist, Robert D. Kaplan, while Peter made his case and counter arguments. I haven't seen any personalities making better arguments than Robert D. Kaplan on China. Peter is very adept at debating this and has done so for decades in a rigorous environment with well-articulated counters to his theses.

  15.  @djohnston6214  Woodrow “clean out the blacks” Wilson? Not sure if serious. He did more to hurt race relations in the US after decades of healing during Reconstruction. Then his signing of Federal Income Tax (Revenue Act of 1913) and Federal Reserve Act of 1913 make him one of the most cursed of all names of US Presidents. He oversaw more harm to the US than most Presidents I can think of.

  16.  @karunama3771  FDR hurt the US in ways that haven’t ever been corrected, and he did it with abuse of power during crisis, appointing KKK grand masters to the Supreme Court, undermining the Bill of Rights, starting Federal agencies tasked specifically with violating the Constitution, mass implementation of Progressive Party policies of socialism, with an unchecked singular mass media information control apparatus. A dispassionate analysis of FDR does not bode well for his placement in the rankings.

  17.  @gwailouh01  JFK got into the WH with a stolen election, rigged by the Teamsters and Organized crime families (one of the only US Presidents to win the General without Florida or Ohio). This was brokered by his Irish mob father with the Italian/Sicilian/Russian Jew mafia, who his other son, Robert Kennedy, had been going after like a pitbull. The deal was he would pull Bobby off if they helped Jack get into the WH. One of the best things the Kennedy Brothers did was form DIA, after the egregious pattern of insubordination and high crimes being committed by the CIA were identified, including their help with the assassination of President Diem of South Vietnam. Why would the CIA help murder our only ally against North Vietnam, just days before JFK was assassinated? The other good thing JFK did domestically was cut taxes, which were insane at the time. The fire he lit under the space program was of epic historical significance, though much of it was underway of course. The Bay of Pigs fiasco was created by the CIA to dry to muscle the Kennedy Brothers into invading Cuba with full military force. His handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis averted nuclear war with the Soviets. He did a lot in his 2 years and 9 months in office.

  18.  @kyleganse4978  Clinton (real name William Jefferson Blythe III) was raised by his adoptive family, the Clintons, who owned 3 Buick dealerships in Arkansas. He learned how to profile people and memory training from his adoptive grandpa. Basically a talented car salesman who really liked JFK, wanted to get into politics instead of selling cars to suckers. He had a convertible Buick at age 16, so got very used to having any woman he wanted until he moved into more exciting things like rape.

  19.  @djohnston6214  America has a vested interest in ensuring no singular power takes over Europe, from where it could then threaten the Western hemisphere. This is more true today due to modern force projection and weapons. Our long-term strategic withdrawal from Europe runs counter to this, offset by leveraging our Foreign Military Sales to Europe.

  20. There was a beautiful bombshell of a woman working in a US drone factory during WWII. An Army Air Forces Motion Pictures unit commander discovered her and saw great potential in her for the silver screen. Her name was Norma Jean Mortenson, but the world knows her as....Marilyn Monroe. The officer in the Army Air Forces photography unit was Captain R. Wilson Reagan (future President of the United States). The US has been in this drone business for a long, long time.

  21.  @SianaGearz  Excellent post. COTS GPS receivers can be rigged to the drone FLCS to provide a very precise flight path, with continuous mid-course updates and refined terminal phase profile. They could also "guide-by-missile" for terminal phase with video if they wanted to. Imagine cellular or SAT phones with multi-channel video feed, along with a rigged GPS guidance system for most of the path. There are many ways to skin this cat.

  22.  @Laotzu.Goldbug  I've been in aerospace and defense since the 1970s. Some of the programs we worked on were the ALCM, SRAM, SRAM II, JDAM, and other guided weapons systems, so I'm quite familiar with what it takes to get a warhead on-target. Before JDAM, it was all INS-based. The launch aircraft would get an update for its INS with Radar ground-mapping off known reference points before weapon separation, then pass that data to the missile so it would start off with the best available position references. Degradation of INS was a real thing, especially with weather. GPS and other things take precision-guidance into a new generation since then. There are better off-the-shelf guidance systems nowadays available to civilians. You do have to take terrain into consideration though, including altitude and solve for that if you want to fly a Nap Of the Earth profile. With modern digital mapping from satellite-based programs, you could manually chart an NOE course into a corridor, or run a real-time terrain-following profile algorithm.

  24. Baby Boomers had Gen X and Millennials. Gen X had Millenials and Gen Z. So I see a current growing consumer base of these 3 prime working years generations. Gen X are in management and early mid-life stages, many earning over the median household income. Older 1st phase millenials born in the early-mid 1980s are coming into their own with home ownership, at least 10 years of solid credit history, stable work history. Younger millennials and Zs are facing out-of-reach home ownership prices outside of apartments and town homes, and just watched median home sale prices fly away from them just as they thought about reaching for a single family residence, which is sad to watch. Boomer and Gen X are watching their children have a bleak outlook on the future, which they feel together with them. There is a strong consumer base for automobiles, home appliances, personal electronics, computers, TVs, insurance, education, and groceries. All of those industries own the legacy alphabet media, who most of the 3 living generations don't trust and have ditched viewership of if you look at Nielsen ratings trends. I think that's a pivotal pillar going forward: the decoupling from legacy media and information sources combined with decoupling from deglobalization. We just don't trust the corporate news spigots that have lied to us for so long. This presents great opportunities and challenges.

  25. ​ @blackcatdungeonmastersfami5311 Uranium mines in Russia stopped receiving orders as the Soviet Union collapsed. The miners and engineers collapsed to the bigger cities and mining operations were reduced dramatically. Putin needed access to open and functioning mines, which is why he bribed the Clintons and Bidens to get SECSTATE Hillary and VP Biden to fast-track the Uranium One deal. It was one of the biggest questions we had. "Why does Putin need Uranium from US and Canadian mines when he has Russia?" Westerners still don't understand how irreparably-defunct Russian industries are.

  26. The military doesn't innovate or design things. That all happens in the civilian DoD and private contractor sector. The military has musical chair program officers who change every 2-3 years, few of whom even understand the force requirements, the threats, or even the basic technology set of the existing systems, let alone the proposed ones.

  29.  @petrskupa6292  He couldn't be more wrong on this, just like his election prophecies. I've been following Peter's work since the 2000s when he was at STRATFOR. He has TDS. You can tell because he refuses to give credit to Trump for negotiating the Abraham Accords and more Middle East peace deals than all US Presidents combined. He also totally ignored the Battle of Khasham in Feb 2018, and Trump's Foreign Military Sales to Ukraine the next month. This doesn't fit into the Trump-Russia narrative, which comes from the 2016 Hillary campaign.

  30.  @kaseyc5078  Yes, but after WWII, there was a massive deficit in prime age males who are necessary for rebuilding society, and getting back to work. All of the European nations except for Switzerland and Sweden suffered tremendous losses to their native prime age males. What many of them did was import workers from Turkey, North Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Most of these men worked the low-skilled labor jobs, while some of them went into higher-skilled education and work as well. Along with all of that, Europe adopted relaxed abortion laws, so native young adult females exterminated their children in the womb. This created even more demand for foreign laborers. The problem is that these foreign laborers were enticed to come to Europe to take advantage of “free” social welfare programs, not to work. The uneducated and altruistic weak Europeans who idealized their social safety nets started to see that the immigrants weren’t contributing to society with productive work and paying into the tax system. What did they do? Abort more of their children, and import more foreigners with promises of free everything. The consequences of this are disenfranchised and separate class of foreigners who will never be accepted as natives, who see themselves as superior to Europeans due to their own bigoted ideology and internal messaging from elders. This means from a societal order standpoint, you have a people who don’t respect the nation’s laws. Any time you try to enforce the laws when they break them, they feel like they’re being discriminated against, rather than accepting responsibility. You also have genuine criminals who will use this dynamic to claim discrimination in hopes of avoiding consequences for their crimes. The best thing would be to deport everyone back to their homelands because they refuse to integrate and refuse to obey the laws, refuse to work to contribute, while stealing the workers’ fruit.

  31. ​ @michaelholt8590 Imagine having faith in the NYC justice system. Ha ha! NYC has been utterly corrupt since the 1840s. The volunteer firefighter gangs were the strong arms of the DNC already back then. NYC corruption even pre-Civil War would shock most people.

C'mon man, Corn Pop has the hairy legs kids crave.

  40. ​ @hermaeusmora2945  Putin had the expansion of Russia into its "rightful territories" planned out since he assumed office in 2000. It literally didn't matter what anyone in Europe or the US did, he was always going to invade or place puppets and install Russian forces in Georgia, South Ossetia, Ukraine, Moldova, Finland, Poland, the Baltics, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. The Ukrainian SMO was supposed to be a Desert Storm-like moment for Russia with shock and awe, sending mass fear into Europe so that subsequent nations would capitulate and crumble like dominoes.

The presstitute corporate whore media drives messaging, and the "independent" online media is full of foreign disinformation and bad attempts by legacy presstitutes to adapt. The overwhelming majority of start-up information channels don't even have a basic education in geography, history, economics, business, and industrial market structures, yet make all kinds of absolute prognostications about these events out of utter ignorance. Then you have PhD professors and retired Generals running their mouths with ridiculous comments, getting some things right, while failing terribly with the fundamentals. Show me anybody else who has broken down the global semiconductor industry structure, trends, and challenges in a way that both the industry professional and layman can understand in context.

  46. Russia has been supporting, training, and enabling terrorists in Israel since the early 1970s at the latest, as part of an asymmetric anti-Zionist campaign following Marxism-Leninism proclamations against religious Jews. The communists only liked and were heavily-populated with atheist Jews, including Marx himself. It was official Soviet policy to be anti-Zionist.

  49. Obama was a Soviet construct, conceived to be a destroyer of the US system from within. He was doing Putin's bidding since he was a Senator. Look at his visit to Ukraine, disarming them of conventional artillery munitions way before he got near the WH. Once in the WH, he and his cabinet helped Putin wherever they could, as they were all receiving hundreds of millions in bribes when you look at Clinton Global, Uranium One, and Burisma. Burisma was run by Mykola Zlochevsky, a Russian separatist. It was a money-laundering operation.

  50. The biggest thing missing from Putin’s detailed history of the region was no mention of the Holodomor. He also glossed over the fact that 79% of Ukrainians voted to lean towards trading with the EU, moving away from their trade with Russia. Putin’s actual puppet, Yanukovych, signed onto Putin’s Russia-Eurasia Economic Pact in late 2013, which triggered the 4 month Euromaiden protests until Yanukovych fled. Putin calls this a coup, which was nothing of the sort.
