Topic: Geostrategist


In the News (Sun 27 Dec 09)

  
  Corrupt government, conspiracy, new world order, no future.
Moreover, individual geopolitical actors are also unique human beings with insights, prejudices, and religious obsessions that may occasionally lead them to act at cross-purposes not only to their society, but their class as well.
At one level, the geostrategist is simply a man (after all, the club is overwhelmingly a men's club) doing his job, and trying to do it competently in the eyes of onlookers.
Looking at their maps and model globes, British geostrategists of 18th and 19th centuries could not help but notice that Earth's landmasses are highly asymmetrical; Eurasia is by far the largest of the continents.

 Carl Ritter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His organic conception of the state was used to justify the pursuit of lebensraum, even at the cost of another nation's existence, because conquest was seen as a biological necessity for a state’s growth.
His ideas were adopted and expanded by the German geostrategist Friedrich Ratzel.

 Russia Reform Monitor No. 883, December 26, 2001
Russia's efforts to align itself with Western democracies are bound to fail because they contradict the geopolitical and economic interests of the West, Aleksandr Dugin, the controversial leader of the Eurasia Movement, told the strana.ru news website.
Therefore, according to the geostrategist, the most probable result of the upcoming U.S.-Russia summit will be a disappointment in the new foreign policy course being charted by President Vladimir Putin, and a subsequent retreat to old policy positions.
USA and Canada Institute Director Sergei Rogov, however, took a more optimistic tone, stressing that the summit could be a pivotal point in bilateral relations due to the emergence of a common enemy, international terrorism, for the first time in half a century.

 The War Comes Home -- Freedom Underground
If it were up to me I would bring every one of the soliders in the 652, 82nd, the 173rd, the Marines, the 4th ID, all of them home as soon as possible, where they belong defending our country and not playing nursemaid to people brimming on the verge of turmoil.
One doesn't not have to be a geostrategist to know that pulling out all foreign troops in Iraq would lead to chaos and civil war in a place as artifically constructed as Yugoslavia, and we all know what happened there.
And if that ever happened, the angriest and most bitter people you would ever meet would be members of the 652nd and other units, especially those who are from Pierce County whom I also know and who also serve in the miltary honorably and bravely for largely the same reasons Hoyer did.

Such was the earth quake that shook the life of the youngster who would later be a globetrotter, Sinologist, diplomat, geostrategist, and one of the key architects of the U.S. opening to communist China.
In addition, he would be, as he calls himself, "an unusual blend of Jewish and Quaker influences," preparing him well to be president of the United States Institute of Peace, his present position.
After his father's death, Richard's mother, who had previously been a homemaker, stoutly stepped into the breadwinner's shoes, taking up her husband's sales job.

Such dry, functional prose is at home in a world of offices, telephones, and limousines, but that is a world utterly disengaged from the millions—perhaps hundreds of millions or billions—of people whose lives will be overwhelmingly impacted by a phrase here, a word there.
But British geostrategists knew perfectly well that Britain itself is only an island off the northwest coast of Eurasia.
Nevertheless, as the EU grows (it is slated to add 10 new members in 2004), its economic clout is increasingly perceived as inevitably surpassing that of the US.

Such dry, functional prose is at home in a world of offices, telephones, and limousines, but that is a world utterly disengaged from the millions -- perhaps hundreds of millions or billions -- of people whose lives will be overwhelmingly impacted by a phrase here, a word there.
Ironically, even the European Union is concerned about this trend, because if the dollar sinks too low then European firms will see their U.S. investments lose value.
Nevertheless, as the EU grows (it is slated to add ten new members in 2004), its economic clout is increasingly perceived as inevitably surpassing that of the U.S. For U.S. geostrategists, the prevention of an OPEC switch from dollars to euros must therefore seem paramount.

 The US and Eurasia: End Game for the Industrial Era?
Indeed, geopolitics could be considered the ultimate human game — one with immense consequences, and one that can only be played within a tiny club of elites.
One can begin to appreciate the supremely addictive intoxication that flows from playing the geopolitical game by reading documents composed by prominent geostrategists national security briefing papers by people like George Kennan and Richard Perle, or books by Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski.
But what a job it is! —determining the course of history, shaping the fates of nations.

Many of the views he promoted have so profoundly influenced the public discourse that now we tend to take them for granted, whereas at the time he forged and advocated them, they were unconventional and often controversial.
Kahn, the most celebrated and criticized nuclear strategist of his day—later to be known also as a futurist, political scientist, geostrategist, and founder and director of the Hudson Institute—began his career in the late 1940s with the Rand Corporation as a physicist and mathematician.
His co-directorship of the Strategic Air Force Project while at Rand inspired him to write On Thermonuclear War (1960), the book that elevated him to national and international prominence.

But the Chinese strategists regard such a war as purely Western and old-fashioned (see "Unrestricted Warfare").
In a modern war (which, ironically, the United States initiated by using nuclear weapons against Japan in 1945), a geostrategist confronts the enemy with annihilation or unconditional surrender.
Let us now look at the article "Responsible Nanotechnology." At the CSWD, Inc., we believe that the only responsible molecular nanotechnology is for the U.S. government to launch a nanotech Manhattan Project on the basis of the Foresight Institute, with Eric Drexler, the founder of nanotechnology, at the head of the Project.

Amid the "shock and awe" gunfire, a new fight for hegemony over both land and sea has quietly begun, waiting to become the new face of global geostrategy once the US-led war on Iraq ends.
The "land power" ideology has deeply affected the strategic designs of European and Asian countries ever since British geostrategist Halford Mackinder (1861-1947) proposed the concept of a European "heartland" in the 19th Century.
Occupying Europe's "heartland" -- Eastern Europe and central Russia -- as well as gradually extending power to the sea, became every country's goals.
