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.

Been waiting for this story to drop... Some reference points to consider:

-Which paper is publishing this story and who they're a mouth piece for

-Prior to the election, Prince was accused by the US Government of working for Chinese Intelligence -- there's a serious ax to grind

-Where the unnamed sources are coming from in this article

I've read a bit about Prince and Blackwater (now Xe?)...it's really amazing what kind of work our government will subcontract out for.

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.

I'm with you. :lol:

 

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.
