While most people will complain about the US presence in global affairs, it is in fact the US absence that has allowed these stalemate conflicts to shift. The traditional geopolitical lines have changed. Israel is a more confident state then 10 years ago and its expanding its influence. However the US does not want a too strong Israel. Therefore Washington will slowly distance itself from Tel Aviv.

Pakistan is another example, today the country can no longer effectively compete with neighboring India. In order the prevent an Indian hegemon the US will have to support Pakistan to keep the stalemate in the Indian subcontinent.

There is also the Iraqi Iranian stalemate, however after the American invasion of Iraq, the state of Iraq has been under a strong Iranian influence. Thats why only after the American invasion of Iraq, Tehran was able to emerge in the region. In order to restrain Iran, the US will have to make specific accommodations with Iran. Another emerging country is Turkey, the historic center of the Islamic world. Washington can support Ankara to contain the growing influence of Tehran.

Now while the United States was engaged in the Middle East for the past 10 years. The security apparatus in Russia regained its control in the government. And American absence in Eurasian theater has created an opportunity for the Russian state to re-expand its influence throughout the former soviet states and Eastern Europe. Once the US finishes the withdrawal process from Iraq and Afghanistan, they will have to deal with a complete different Russia then before 2001. Aside this, German-Russian relations are expanding and so too will the Polish-American relations. The alliances left behind from the cold war era will no longer function in the 21st century. Cold War institutions such as NATO and the IMF will diminish. In the next ten years these new realities will sink in and we will see many new conflicts arise.

  • So look for a rising Poland,Turkey, and Japan in the future and a slow down of the Chinese Growth.

  • @thekingofROFL I dont think its that simply. Once the US finishes its withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan a new "cold war" will start between the Americans and Russians. A rising Russia and Iran will change Poland and Turkey to rise aswell. Both I dont think Japan will be "rising star", rather the Chinese and Japanese will keep each other in balance.

  • @CaspianReport

    I don't think the Rising Russia will last for that long, there demographic situation is going to cause alot of strain as well as there vast size which leaves the west many ways to surround them.

  • @thekingofROFL I dont believe so either, it will be a temporary rise. By 2020 the Russia's demographic issue will reach its top. It will be a turningpoint in Russian history, and I dont think the Russian Federation will survive. Especially not when in a confrontation with the US in Poland, Baltics and Turkey.

  • This guys knows half of the story...

    Look up: Full Spectrum Dominance by Z. Brzezinski. America is preventing the rise of SUPER-POWER in Eurasia; that is as strong as America itself.

    America believes that the prevention of a single super-power on the Eurasian continent will ensure world peace!

  • @The88Nomad I specifically pointed out the German-Russian partnership, which is the only real possible Eurasian superpower. US stratagem is based on British stratagem of ''Divide and Rule'', it basically means the prevention of a regional power is easier than fighting an equal opponent. These two subjects cover both sides of the story.

  • so u say us wars are a good thing?

  • If ur too lazy to watch the whole video, here is a summary.

    -The US is trying to control the world by "observing them"

  • @thekingofROFL Rising Poland, Turkey and Japan? Wtf are you smoking?

  • Great report! Thank you and good luck.

  • India vs Pakistan / china is a growing bit of nastiness. Most likely the worlds next major war. I must say, I find you wrong about the Paki's as they've found their backing in china. Pakistan is now ranked above India in both army and air force power by most who know the field. Watch for China to take the place of the former USSR. Interesting point of view though, you're right the RF is growing back to it's former power and will also be looking to reassert it's power as once before.

  • You do some excellent geopolitical reporting and observation sir, some of the best. I look forward to your past and future videos.

    Asalumu Alikum.

  • @thekingofROFL You're a Stratfor subscriber too, eh?

  • To CHRISTIANS (bear in mind this sounds silly but it is what it is):

    If you believe America is evil for this kind of meddling in other countries affairs, I give you this response: Luke 11:18 "If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub."

    About our time (the latter days):

    Read Daniel 2: 40 to Daniel 2: 44

    If you are interested about the thoughts of "CrAzY" Christians, I hope this was insightful.
