Episode Details

I first met George Friedman in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1986.

George was then a Professor at the War College.

A few years later he established Stratfor.com and then in 2015, GeopoliticalFutures.com.

He has authored a number of books and is now writing on the future of war in space.

In this podcast, we delve into a plethora of geopolitical issues and crises, including Russia, China, the U.S. and Ukraine.

We look at what might be gained or lost through this country’s declining armed services.

And we ask whether defence should be an election issue?

We reference the wisdom of George Orwell today's woke environment and we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
