The founder of Geopolitical Futures, Dr. Friedman, who also founded the geopolitical intelligence firm Stratfor, has built a career on successful geopolitical forecasts.

These forecasts were made almost nine years ago and have already materialized. There are others that may yet come to fruition. The question “can anyone predict geopolitical trends?” has been answered: the track record shows it.
Video Description
In his 2009 book, The Next 100 Years, GPF Chairman George Friedman forecasted that Turkey would become the major power in the Middle East. As Trump draws down on US involvement abroad, Putin gets bogged down in Russia, and Israel is distracted in Gaza, Turkey is spying opportunities. While Turkey's dominance has been on the rise despite its own internal instability, Saudi Arabia on the other side of the region has been giving it a run for its money. In this week's episode of Talking Geopolitics, host Christian Smith is joined by GPF contributor Kamran Bokhari to discuss all this as well as the latest developments out of Israel following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's public apology to Qatar.

There you'll also find George's new series on the 2020s and Its Historic Shift, including his updated forecast for Poland, Turkey and Japan.
