Alex Jones literally told you to expect 9/11. Pity he is deliberately

[jrtstrategicapital]

GF is an astute geopolitical analyst! I’ve followed him for over a decade. Spot on.👏👏👏

[loganwallace]

This is the weirdest interview I've seen in a long time. I've lived both during the 70's and now and this IS NOT like the 70's at all.

[KarlHermens]

please shut off the noise pollution in the background.

[CLIFFORDSTANLEY-fc]

Great guest. Things have to get worse before there is a change in the cycle.

[Andrew-ytpf]

Couldn't disagree more, on all fronts. Today is nothing like the 70's. Everything is infinitely more leveraged and on an instability knife edge. If you think we're able to tick along until 2028, I have a bridge for sale.

[curtfinch]

george always calms me down when i get sucked into the maelstrom of current political discourse. Would love to hear his analysis of all the demographic collapse going on in china, japan, russia, germany etc.

[advocate]

He agrees with Felix Zulauf who sees the financial crisis breaking in late 2020s. He also vhannels Neil Howe when he says it isn't bad enough yet to force the consensus. Still time to get ready; still no "grey champion" emerging.

[DavorMagdic]

The problem with America arming Ukraine is not that it does not serve American interest, it is that America is hypocritical about it

[grzegorzdomysawski]

War was not boost for Poland, keep your wars out of Poland.

[paulmurray]

Great interview of Dr. Friedman. Thank you.

[wardfoss]

this guy says the us cant be invaded by land-like mexico and canada are rock solid allies with us-wtf? typical normie historian

[nick-oixf]

These guys actually believe the "official" 9/11 narrative.😂😂😂 You guys live in fantasy land. Did you take your "safe and effectives" also?😂😂😂

[joeshmoe]

"We can increase the empire by destroying traditional america and conquering western europe." Who is "we"?

[kayeninetwo]

I appreciate the different perspectives Jay showcases on his show. Some interesting views from his guest on this video. I would not agree with some of those perspectives, but that's ok. It's good to be exposed to other ideas when contemplating complex problems.

[joflemig]

I cannot tolerate background music. Too distracting.

[circlelabs]

Modern warfare is not the old school ships, planes and tanks. While the US does have some geographical advantages, it's a lot easier to mess with the US now (cyber warfare, bio warfare, drones, etc.). Look at what the Houthis are doing with limited budgets and tech.

[flashfuture]

Always a pleasure to hear from Dr. George Friedman. Based on the comments, he went over the heads of most viewers.

[mercyandthemiddletons]

I love hearing so many different views on the coming year, I think we may end up right in the middle for 2024. I can't imagine we make it to 2028 without a crash.

[CLIFFORDSTANLEY-fc]

Russia is large. But it is also cold. Paved roads are unaffordable in most of Russia because of the cold weather and short growing season for agriculture.
