  1. I presented them fine. You don't think he assumed it would be a cakewalk and the Russians wouldn't suffer the amount of casualties they are? And now that they are suffering high casualties, a large proportion of them are "undesirables" such as ethnic non-Russians and criminals. Think like a Russian, they are crazy and don't always make sense.
  2. Except he was saying and writing that before 2014. That Russia would seek to expand and have a military presence in all the 9-11 geographic chokepoints it identified to protect the homeland. Crimea, bessarabian gap, the Baltic, Caspian sea coastal chokepoints, etc. He's not perfect but his track record is pretty good. Yeah, he's gay. It's actually one of the things he cares most about, hence kidnapping children. Putin's sponsored multiple government initiatives to increase the birthrate as he's realized it's a state killer in the long run.
  3. FYI he's gay Name an analyst who was? Hodges and Hertling were the only ones close IIRC.
  4. He's former state department and has consulted for some three letter agencies. Here is his presentation to the Army Maneuver Warfighter Conference the week before the Ukrainian invasion.
  5. This was just one video I could find in a couple of minutes of searching. He actually called out the Russian moves in his first book in 2011, and he is a proponent of Geography predicting Geopolitics because of history. I've read Gun, Germs, and Steel and it's great. Yes, and they have some videos as well. Friedman has lots of interviews and videos on YT too, though he seems to have slowed. Ian Bremmer, Michael Kofman, and Stephen Kotkin are good too imo. He can be a little too declaratory sometimes imo but he's been ahead of the curve predicting the weakening of globalization, Russia, Chinese/American relations, and EU power. He's not Nostradamus, but he's been better than most Geopolitical analysts the past decade.
  6. They were bought and are called RANE now. They have videos on YT and George Friedman (Austinite) runs Geopolitical Futures now. Zeihan called out exactly what the Russians would do 10 years ago. He has been nails predicting geopolitics in general, and the Russians specifically. You might not like his style (the hair needs to go imo) but you're dead wrong if you think he doesn't know what he's talking about or think he's a hack. This presentation was in 2014 and he nailed it:
  7. They know who did that, it was Iran via Hezbollah. No ones overlooking the Druze.
  8. You didn't see any Christian or Sunni Lebanese kidnapping Americans. I understand it was/is a complicated and messed up scene, but it was almost exclusively the Shia/Iranians that were doing that shit.
  9. Spielberg casts a lot of his friends and favorites. That's how we got Ted Danson playing a 50 year old captain in Saving Private Ryan.
  10. Predator. Indiana Jones is an adventure movie.
  11. Nothing good? Really? Define "nothing good".
  12. You trippin, Under the Sea was overrated! This shit is straight fire, Thanks Disney!
  13. She was in The Nice Guys as well
