Geopolitics has seen massive impact since then. For example, the rise of ISIS is a direct descendant of the Iraq war which is a direct consequence of corrupt and criminal decision making by the Bush/Cheney admin in response to 9/11.
Debatable if the Arab Spring would have occurred without it, as the Middle East might have been much more stable.

- jacobush 7y agoBecause geopolitics does not change daily life? Damn, you should see some geopolitics where I live.

There's an ancient TIME article I have in my archives highlighting how the Dubya admin ignored Clinton's intelligence team's attempts to hand over info about the threat of a terrorist attack in the US. Would 9/11 have been prevented if Gore had won 2000? God damn hanging chads and rigged elections...
