George Friedman, "Europe: Destined for Conflict?"

The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Stratfor founder and CEO George Friedman present a discussion on the emerging crisis in Europe.
Europe has inherent flashpoints smoldering beneath the surface which are destined to erupt again, including half a dozen locations, borderlands, and cultural dynamics that have the potential to upend Europe as we know it, says Friedman. He identifies the flashpoints and discusses how can we prepare.

"Hope this will stop ASAP" - как же мне грустно за тебя. Вот перед тобой разложили ПОЛНУЮ картину, все ясно, как божий день. Ну возьми ты карту, посмотри, как страны расположены. Посмотри социологию, где правые консерваторы набирают популярность. Соедини эти страны линией от Германии и получится коридор, который нужно перекрыть. Если ты будешь умен, чтобы провернуть настолько СЛОЖНЫЕ действия, то ты поймешь что дальше будет ввод войск на Западную Украину со стороны Польши и возможно Румынии. КАКОЙ ЕЩЕ стоп - асап. Ты чего?! Это еще СВО идет, война еще не началась. Есть 2 пути - закрыть глазки и сказать "Hope this will stop" и 2ой путь принять меры, чтобы тебя это не коснулось, а дальше сам решай, что тебе ближе) Тот кто этого не понял с большой вероятностью сдохнет раньше положенного срока, причем в РФ скорее всего тоже, про Украину вообще молчу.

I do not know what ASAP is. But I do wish this war to end as soon as possible. USA wants to weaken Russia (and Germany, by the way) and trampels over bodys and sheds blood without a second thought. They are so obsessive in their greed that they have become to me a horrid country, although I grew up in love and gratitude for "the Americans" who saved us from communism. Well, they did. But they turned into a monster since, and I utterly despise them now for their cruel and ruthless regime change operations and for throwing people infront of canons just for economical reasons... The most fertile grounds of the world are in Ukraina - and it is US-oligarchs who are now the owners of 2/3 of these precious land. Yet, they poison this gift of heaven with their uran-ammunition. Probably the prices of the food they produce in America will go up so high, if Ukrainian food is poisoned that they can afford to loss of the profit of Ukrainian production. Shame upon them! People will die of hunger because of this! Or eat the poisoned food and die of cancer. I wonder how they can sleep at night... . .

Der gute George Friedman liefert die Erklärungsformel für dir Gegenwart UND die europäische Geschichte der letzten 100 Jahre! Derartigen Klartext öffentlich zu hören ist eigentlich unglaublich. Viele Folgerungen aus den dargelegten Grundsätzen, die nota bene von Friedman als absolut zwingende Fakten und Basics behandelt werden, werden bis heute als Verschwörungstheorie und oder revanchistischer bzw. revisionistischer Hetze abgekanzelt. Schon Machiavelli sagte in seinem Werk Il Principe/ Der Fürst, nachdem er die verderbte Taktik des Teilens und Herrschens darlegte, dass eine große Gefahr bestünde, wenn sich die aufeinander gehetzten Mächte der wahren Taktik des Agitators im Hintergrund, des lachenden Dritten, bewusst würden. Wenn dies geschieht ist es normalerweise aus und die gegenseitig ausgespielten Opfer verbünden sich gegen den wahren Feind im Hintergrund. Einem US. Amerikaner mit Namen Friedman darf man sicherlich größte Glaubwürdigkeit attestieren, wenn er derart unverhohlen aus dem dreckigen Nähkästchen plaudert.

[@susano323]

I'm American and, like you, pay close attention to foreign affairs and geopolitics. I wish all Germans (and all of Europe, for that matter) would see what it is that's going on. The US WILL sacrifice Europe, next, if Europe doesn't wake the fuck up. How could a continent that was the battlefield for two world wars allow this to happen? It blows my mind. The AngloZionists are a threat to the entire world. When Victoria Nuland said, "Fuck the EU", that was aimed at Germany, the only real obstacle to AngloZionist plans. Now, the US is furious that Germany and France dared to meet with Putin, without the US approving or even being invited. That's why they're doing everything they can to stop any peace in Donbass. Now the idiots in Poland, the Baltics, Bulgaria and Romania are hosting a huge US military buildup in the name of "exercises". That US equipment and the US advisers will NOT be leaving.

But to be honest, like in the US, most people in Europe are totally brainwashed by the AngloZionist media. They will find out when it's to late. I already left Europa and even my family thinks I am crazy... But I get proved my opinion about these AngloZionists - like you call them - every single day. Thanks to the internet, the plans of these self called Elite, is not a secret anymore. Once you know about them, you will never go back to ignorance again.

But instead his like-minded people hunt frank men like Edward Snowden. it has been really getting time for a change. we need moralic agitating paragons. urgently. why should a society accept these people any longer? the answer is still: bc they know the guys with the weapons and these guys are power-hungry, selfish and materially eager.

I have friends, not facebook friends, real ones who are willing to travel in the middle of the night if I call them, in Switzerland, in UK, in Germany, in Ukraine, everywhere. Europeans are good people. But I am a minority. European don't speak a common language, mostly. They don't understand each other and therefore they rely on what their nominated local representative parliaments tell them. Europeans are good people and tend to believe too much what they are told, one day from a party, another day from another party. It gets even worse when it comes to the European parliament and its president and its leading offices: it is nominated, it is not even elected by the Europeans. Now, here it comes the funny part. War is good for business. The Rothschild's gained their fortune by financing wars across Europe. They financed Napoleon's empire. Yes, other wars, other divisions are around the corner here in Europe. We can avoid those wars and divisions by simply start talking to each other, not letting our "corrupted" (by power) leaders speak on our behalf and lead us again, and again, to the next conflict. Look at Iceland: they arrested the bankers after the crisis and now they are recovering much faster than any other country. Are the bankers responsible for all this? No. We are responsible of every action we take. Let's grow up, Europeans. Let's be more mature. p.s. My gf is American, I have friends in South Africa, Namibia, Burundi, Egypt, South America, China, ex employees in India and Hong Kong. We are all good people, we should just talk more.

[@steelvegas]

How sad, it was only due to America’s help with the hundreds of billions of dollars invested into European nations after World War 2 to help it recover from a war they the Europeans started and begged for the USA to come to their salvation. If it was not for the US help, Europe would be speaking German and under the control of Nazis. The USA military has kept the worlds seas and oceans safe to ship good without fear of being pirated. Without the USA, Europe would have taken decades to rebuild their manufacturing base. That’s because the USA was the o oh nation left that had a viable manufacturing base from which to rebuild the world after WW2. We protected Europe from the Soviet scourge and brought the Soviet system to ruin. Europe would be a third world region after WW2 without the help us the USA’s Marshall Plan. So instead of hating on American think about what America has done for Europe. America is not perfect and we make a ton of mistakes but the world is far better off than it would be without the USA.

Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq 1 and 2, Afranistan and who knows maybe Iran in the next couple of months? No, the presence looks quite different that the past, so it is ok beeing sad, but your reason is not quite honest. The first rule of peace in the world is respect, a country has to respect other countries, it's security, borders, culture and even bussinesses. If one country tries to change the world to make it more well-fitting for his own needs by initiating directly or indirectly any kind of conflict so this is a serious threat for peace. there is no doubt about it. I can imagine, it might be hard to accept this for an native american. But I think the world has changed, many people think different, than 70 years ago.

I keep saying since years that it's a must to read Brzezinski's books ... it's all there except the imponderabilia. And I hope that they (the imponderabilia) will mess up the plans of the USofA. Equally I hope to live long enough to see the final fall of the US empire which has brought so much misery to the world over barely 1 century. My current country of residence is surrounded by countries which have been bombed to smithereens by the benevolent US Air Force and people live in poverty and chaos. This has nothing to do with the American people (who are equally victims of geo-politics and sacrificed in a second if necessary) but everything with the sick political cast worldwide which is lead by the USofA. Some are the masters - the rest are puppets and lapdogs. This speech is an eyeopener for everyone who's still dreaming ... but people start to wake up (also thanks to the Pandemic). Mr. Freedman can at times hardly contain his hate, disgust and despise for Europe which made it quite interesting to listen *and* watch him at the same time. Quite telling! I do hope that this video gets spread widely 🙏.

0:45 George Friedman: The United States "are not going to miss a war, just because it is far away."

[@matt8746]

This came in by accident and I thought it was recorded this week

[@marcobreuer4591]

This lecture of George Friedman is a very rough sketch of Europe. It only containes one smale view. He is talking about the treaty of Maastricht, given the people of europe a new prospective. There is just one generation grew up in this time, sharing and evolving new values, so they start seeing themself as European. But these people don't claim relevant positions right now, because they are stil to young. He is talking about that the us should creat vassals, like they better had done in Iraq, etc. But he don't mention that Germany isn't a suvereign state since 8. may 1945. The biggest armybase outside of Amarica is in Germany, even the US Africom base is in Germany. So until USA don't want us to leave, we don't leave. People like Mr. Friedman, who seemingly working for the CIA according to wikileaks, manipulating the people. If europe will go into war, it will be a bloody one and like always sooner or later the us will be involved in it and it will be normal people like me and you that need to fight and die in this war. We are going to fight for what? In my opinion its again only for money. The strange thing is that the course of the US didn't change scince Bush and Obama and i guarantee it won't change with the next president, who ever this is. It's the people behind the politics that makes the rules and decide who is in or out. Media leads you the way, giving only a negativ picture of russia, trumpe, islam and so on. Showing us what we should think. Our mindsets are so full of this stupid things that most of us belives it. ... oh russia is bad, i need to buy that stuff... I mean in a world where poeple develop stratigies to 'creat a demand' just to get your money, where are we going to. In my opinion we need to listen to ourself again and stop listining to things like that. These things creating fear and worries, like they did for centuries.

Why does Friedman not question his father's: "The Europeans never change. They just pretend, it didn't happen." It is impossible for him NOT to know that Germany still suffers and will always suffer because of "what happened". Although I learn now (from you, Mr. Friedman) that the US "fought two wars and the Cold War" to prevent Russia and Germany to have a good relationship, to work together economically and to thrive and blossom - because the US wanted to stay the No.1 in the world. Interesting.

There are many puppet politicians all over the Europe that many people do not want, but on the other hand many people also support because they are used to listen same old narrative from mainstream media. The US help to escalate this problem in Europe, as it is pushing its Nato closer and closer to Russia. No need for NATO to exist today, moreover I do not see any Atlantic near Ukraine.

[@BrunoGebarski]

Mr. Friedman's analysis on Germany is quite pertinent but uttering words like "USA is the only help for Ukraine" is completely ludicrous. 1. German Question: Thatcher & Mitterrand both promoted the idea of a single currency hoping and trusting that integrating Germany within Europe would minimize the potential of “German economic hegemony”. We can definitely say that this did not happen and will not happen. Germany is becoming the EU-geopolitical leader and winner that soon will have to re-evaluate its relationship to the London | New York (JPMorgan & Federal Reserve) bankster criminals. Germany must distance itself from the EU and supporting the US-fascist sanctions imposed by the Obama Regime on Russia (8% of German GDP is done with Russia!!) which brings us to the second point of Mr. Friedman’s speech: 2. Ukrainian Question Affirming that the "U.S. is the only country that can help the Ukraine crisis" is quite amusing for someone like Mr. Friedman who claims to be a geopolitical expert! The geopolitical penchant to financial expert Jim Rickards? I’ve always had my doubts about Mr. Friedsman geopolitical integrity but this statement definitely confirms them. Let’s remind Mr. Friedman of a few facts he most likely has “willingly” forgotten 1. Ukrainians had elected President Viktor Yanukovich (corrupt, but who is not corrupt in the Ukraine?). He was taken down by the CIA Langley fascist forces financed, led and trained in Poland by the CIA! (just like Al Qadea, ISIS & IS, led by the CIA from the U.S. Embassy in Ankara: Turkey). The staged U.S. coup d'état was financed (public statement by Victoria Nuland) with a five billion USD budget! Is this helping the nation of Ukraine Mr. Friedman? There are four entities looting the Ukraine right now: -The neocon aka fascist Kiev leadership installed by the U.S. neocons themselves -U.S. corporations like GMO Monsanto & fracking businesses -IMF (with Christopher Lagarde) -European Union with its fascist leadership who is also responsible for the looting of all the Mediterranean countries of Europe and France soon to be completed. 2. Poisonous snake Victoria Nuland represents the neo-con (Trotzky socialist | communist doctrine) percolating out of the Washington Regime! She is the extension of the geopolitical US secretary of State buffoon and fool John Kerry. “Fuck the EU” were some of the fine words geopolitical Nuland has made herself famous with here on our continent! The “American Riot Diplomat” affirms German “Der Spiegel” who is running around town financing more “color revolutions” in Azerbaijan and just about to create another coup d’état in Georgia. Again, the U.S. has left, chaos, war and a path of destruction behind it! Is this the help you are talking about Mr. Friedman?

​@@astrid7987 ​ Ещё немного, и я бы начал рыдать после Вашего текста. Это - не шутка. Поэтому напишу длинный ответ. Пару лет назад мы ехали по дороге сквозь уральскую тайгу в автомобиле с одной немкой, и она стала учить меня свободе, начав со свободы слова. Я её спросил долго ли она путешествует по РФ, она ответила, что месяц. Тогда я спросил, видела ли она телеканал "Дождь" или любые ресурсы "Эхо Москвы", "Радио Свобода". Она, конечно, не видела. В Германии любое подобное заведение закрылось бы спустя неделю, оставив после себя только горы судебных долгов!!! Я спросил её, откуда немецкие СМИ берут новости, она ответила дословно: "из жизни". Я не смог удержаться от смеха, пытался объяснить как работают информагентства - ОНА НЕ ЗАХОТЕЛА СЛУШАТЬ! И этому есть простое объяснение. Один из столпов американской культуры (транслируемой на весь запад) - ПООЩРЕНИЕ ЛЕНИ УМА ВО ВСЁМ, ЧТО НЕ КАСАЕТСЯ РАБОТЫ. У нас в России тоже пытаются внедрить такую модель, но могучее советское образование так расширило круг людей способных мыслить, что сломать это общество не получилось даже у Сороса. Мыслить нашим людям, на удивление, понравилось, как и китайцам. На самом деле всё, что Сорос тут получил за свои деньги - это красивые отчёты! За годы имитации бурной коммунистической деятельности мы научились писать красивые бумажки как, вероятно, никто другой. Даже при отрицательных результатах. А дураков и без Сороса тут было море, увеличить их количество у него не вышло, разве что имеющиеся стали порадикальней. Поверьте, радикальные русские дураки несут опасность для всего европейского континента! При этом "запад" делает всё, чтобы нас радикализировать против себя! И это касается всего - от тупейших нападок в области спорта до запредельно циничной риторики СМИ и даже на высшем международном уровне, включая ООН. Мир это видит, несмотря на то, что англичане привыкли всех вокруг считать за дураков. Китайцы тоже думают, что самые умные, зато не считают идиотами окружающих!

Well, somehow he forgot that actually Georgia started the war against Russia, or at least against the Russian influenced zone "within" Georgia. And, as of now, there are no civil wars in Europe, and even the Brexit is less of a trouble. Interesting how open he talks about seeding conflict and war, so that the can US benefit.

[@margaretmcduck5381]

This is shocking. But what also shocking is that Europe goes along with the narrative "Russia is the only culprit" and shoots itself in the foot

He is twisting a little bit. I mean he is payed by one side 😅 Talking about not droping nuclear bomb... but in reality they have droped on japan. That is genicide in one way.

Chi deve pagare il prezzo in vite umane di queste continue destabilizzazioni e guerre per procura? I giovani ucraini e poi i giovani europei?

The guy here is the reason I hope we either balance the relation with USA or Europe break with USA.

[@dast8937]

It's like Europe broke with the Romans. They just collapse, there is nothing to balance anymore.

Is there a transcript of this talk? The ideas presented require more thought than is possible when just listening to Friedman. An important talk that requires study.

[@Athenaikos]

Buy the book.Flashpoints: The Emerging Crisis in Europe by George Friedman (Jan 27, 2015)

[@Dirrtza]

Its ofcourse talk from american interest point. Never forget thst,he isnt real here he is sided.

As intelligent and well spoken as George Friedman is, I find his encyclopedic knowledge of world events a little lacking, especially in terms of the harsh realities that actually control our country, and our world. I particularly dislike his use of the word, "empire" when describing the United States, the belief in global hegemony that has caused all of our problems in the first place. He continuously lauds the relative strengths of America, while scrupulously AVOIDING the mountainous problems, including our untenable debt, governmental corruption, unending wars of aggression (the 'empire' word I described), and things like Bill Clinton's ludicrous NAFTA agreement that sent all of our good jobs to Mexico and China, starting our entire downward slide into oblivion. Worse still, not a single world about the malfeasance of The Federal Reserve Bank, and the utter destruction of anything close to be called, "a free market economy." And never even once does he use the word, "MANIPULATION," which has sown the very seeds of our ultimate destruction. In other words, Mr. Friedman raises a lot of good QUESTIONS, without offering many good SOLUTIONS. With all his marvelous understanding of history, Mr. Friedman still adheres to a distorted, Pollyanna view of US global power and superiority that is rapidly coming to an end.

@@avienated GREAT quote!

[@lisettem1009]

What Germany opposed America embraced the totalitarian Marxist communist ideology that became the state religion, and George Friedman is a perfect example, crying victim and advocating destruction. An old and tired trick.
