Video Description
Renowned forecaster George Friedman is back to respond to your comments. Over half a million viewers watched my last interview with George shortly after the US and Russia began settlement discussions about Ukraine. This sparked an animated discussion in the comments section over President Trump’s plan to redesign global trade, whether Putin is really losing in Ukraine, and who (if anyone) George voted for. Today George, the founder of Geopolitical Futures, explains why Russia cannot realistically wage war in Europe, NATO's diminishing relevance, and how the current flurry of activity in the White House compares to Roosevelt's first hundred days in office. George also breaks down Russia's economic "dead cat bounce" following the Ukraine conflict—and why punishing Putin isn't a practical geopolitical strategy.
