As I've criticized before involving most types like Peter (Stratfor former intel guys), who I always find interesting, is that they are remarkably void of anything of insight or interest involving cultural issues. He mentioned cultural dominance once in the hour here, but it was in a string of pro-American benefits or strengths, and it wasn't necessarily good; it just meant powerfully exported. Unless there is a turnaround truly in the cultural aspect of the newly aligned parties, a real rejection of the madness of the left and media, the future can't be that bright. This is why I also agree with Beast in the sense that a strongman dictator type is coming at the major shift in power/economics or market crash in the next 10 years. The government is outright lying to our faces, without shame, they keep running foolish marketing puppet types like Kamala Harris (as if we didn't notice she's a poor man's Obama part deux) and the gargantuan gov't entities are deeply entrenched and anti democratic or properly republic oriented and constituted, are totally dishonorable and politically motivated. There are traitors like John Brennan that I would hope get what they deserve but being honest about the world and what happens in it, it's equally likely they'll again get away scot-free because the system truly is sick.
Regarding the German cycle back to alternate (Neo Nazi? Come on Peter) how can you blame them? More failed leadership selling out a country, that should be the expectation of the age. Just like with Trump, the elites sold out their own citizens and then expect them to just take it on the chin while the historical identity, which has produced so much good for the history of the world is done away with? This lack of understanding of pushing people's back to the walls is why there are always cycles of wars and the globalist types, if not by war, always get rejected. It is in our DNA if we are a strong nation with a great foundation --- as long as the foundation hasn't been forgotten, another one of their tricks to indoctrinate the youth (out of).
On the cultural issue for the USA, he actually does discuss that in one of his 2 books. Of course, he uses America's geography to explain it, but he also does the same for other countries, such as Germany.
His has 2 lenses that he uses exclusively: geography and demographics. While even I would say that there is more to explain culture than just geography, it is a very different and insightful way of approaching it that reveals quite a bit.
