TPS Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Came across a couple of interesting pieces, one recent, one a couple years old. Not DS stuff, but they certainly provide insight on US geopolitical actions. I'm sure some here were already familiar with Mackinder's thesis; I wasn't. The Great Game Recent analysis US v Russia One immediate thought taken from this, I can see the US supporting Islamic Uyghur nationalists to disrupt China, similar to Brzezinski's plan for the USSR in Afghanistan in the 1970s.

Azalin Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Just an update, for those still on the fence about who CNN truly answers to: The suspected chemical attack today in Syria is now being used by CNN's political round table to talk about how Obama "missed his chance at regime change in Syria"... CNN and the three broadcast networks are doing everything they can to marginalize themselves, just like congressional Democrats are. They have to realize that a massive number of viewers didn't buy their schtick before the election, and less are doing so now. It's like watching someone committing suicide by repeatedly stabbing themselves with a safety pin while screaming through a megaphone - and everyone else is just watching in amazement.

The only reason I see CNN as often as I do is because I'm (temporarily) working in their LA building, so it's on every screen in every hall.
