George Friedman did more to influence my view of the world than any single writer. Peter Zeihan is a smarmy whore for the oil industry who happens to be one of the best geopolitical analysts alive.

The certainty of these facts among each group is both astounding and misguided. - George Friedman For those of you who don't read Geopolitical Futures or follow Dr. Friedman on twitter, he has taken an almost militant approach to analytical neutrality that has begun to dip into outright naivete. Friedman's writings on Trump have, for most of his Presidency, have been largely focused on his place in the political cycles Friedman has written about, most notably in his latest book The Storm Before the Calm.
