  1. I’ve been following him and other analysts at STRATFOR back in the 2000s. I didn’t accept any of their observations, but went and checked everything they were claiming since I had already been to 30 countries by that time, spent several decades in Aerospace and Defense, military, and working with coalition partner nations. Even after all my years of studying maps, traveling, military planning, global combined component forces exercises with access to imagery and real-time force movements, micro terrain analyses, and tactical combat aircraft overlays, the lessons in geography I learned from STRATFOR were worth 10x the subscription easily. The places they were describing were mostly areas and regions I had lived in, deployed to, and studied for most of my life. They explained things in ways I had never seen before, which was very illuminating and humbling.

  2.  @michellelewis3063  STRATFOR was founded by George Friedman, a Hungarian immigrant whose family fled before the communists took over and settled in the US. Not exactly an American bias, but a dispassionate perspective of the world. All nations are described as entities to be dissected, studied, explained what they can’t do, then forecast what might happen based on geography, demography, history, and regional momentum.
