In The Void Of A Paradigm Shift: 2017 Geopolitical Forecast

Post by Riddick » 01-22-2017 02:33 AM

The anti-elite uprisings all around us appear to signal the close of one era, and the advent of a new, unknown one. The wave of anti-elitism appears likely to be the most powerful driving force in geopolitical and financial events this year and probably beyond.

In other words, we are experiencing a paradigm shift.

But we are in a void at the moment—the dangerous period before a new age fully takes hold, and systems, nations and movements are up for grabs. There seems to be no place of significance that will go untouched by the new circumstances.

What will happen during this interregnum is the subject of this year’s Quartz geopolitical forecasts. Their bullet points on how the year seems likely to shape up:
  • Look for the US, North Korea, and Russia to form a “Triangle of Instability”
  • Trump will move hard on immigration and trade
  • There will be a backlash against Silicon Valley
  • China and the US will swap roles …
  • … And we will see brinksmanship in the South China Sea
  • Putin will use Snowden as a bargaining chip

Good Article, lot's of points to ponder. The guy went on to write Report on Davos also very interesting, what I noticed in that article is that Trumps Peers , quite a few regard him with with respect. The only 2 "grumblers"/ "doomers" mentioned where Soros and Kissinger.

Maybe we just do have a good "Pit-Bull" of a President working for the good of all us people. We certainly will have A Heck of lot more Transparency! He will keep us posted ! :D
