Description

George Beebe is the former CIA Director for Russia Analysis and currently Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute. Beebe examines the difficult strategic choices facing the United States as it confronts the end of the post–Cold War hegemonic era. He also analyses Europe’s failure to adapt to this shift, arguing that it has resulted in a strategic dead end and decline.

George’s matter-of-fact tone about “managing transitions” is chilling. An echo of the sociopathy of modern western leadership.

Relax folks. It's always valuable to hear from the "opposing side". Always good to know your enemy.

George speaks with a fine patina of reasonableness, but there are CIA brainworms coming out of his mouth.

As I am listening to this man, I get the understanding that the US is now saying ‘we own Europe too’.
