I found this article to be a very interesting read. I think a lot people have forgotten how much geography still factors into world affairs. This article refers to predictions made long ago that ring even truer now and goes on to try to predict that state of the world in the future by keeping geography in mind.
Just wondering what everyone here thinks about it. I found it fascinating, but then again I don't have any direct experience with most of the areas described in the article while I'm sure a lot of people here do. I'd be interested in hearing some opinions.
